# ApplicationHub
ApplicationHub is a powerful application launcher and organizer built in WPF using C#. It empowers users to efficiently manage and access their applications through a variety of intuitive features and customizable options.
## Features
### Interface Modes
- **View Modes**:
- **Simplified View**: Displays applications as tiles in a wrap panel layout for easy access.
- **Detailed View**: Organizes applications categorically with category panels and detailed application lists.
- **Widget Mode**: Enables a floating widget that can be docked on screen corners or preferred locations.
### Widget Control
- **Toggle**: Toggle the widget by clicking on the app icon or minimizing it.
- **Overlay Display**: On hover, displays pinned applications and recent apps for quick access.
- **Docking and Floating Icon**: Place a floating icon on screen corners or any location. The icon magnetizes to screen boundaries or corners for user convenience.
### Application Management
- **Predefined Application List**: Easily configure applications via the `ApplicationList.txt` file.
- Supports direct paths to executables (`*.exe`)
- Folder paths for automatic detection of executable (`*.exe`) or shortcut (`*.lnk`) files.
- **Additional apps**: Add custom applications under a "custom" category for personalized organization.
`ApplicationList.txt` is and must be located in the root directory.
Example:
```plaintext
[Category1 Name]
C:\Path\To\Application.exe
C:\Path\To\FolderWithApps\
[Category2 Name]
...
```
### Metadata Integration
Upon launch, ApplicationHub generates metadata folders for each application if they are missing.
- Customize or add metadata files (`description.txt`, `image.png`) in the `metadata/` folder located alongside `ApplicationHub.exe`.
Example structure:
```
metadata/
├── AppName1/
│ ├── image.png
│ └── description.txt
└── AppName2/
├── image.png
└── description.txt
```
## Getting Started
To begin using ApplicationHub, simply download the latest release and follow the installation instructions in the documentation.
