DATAFLEX
OPENER

Three Parameters and No Exceptions

One pinned taskbar icon. Every installed version of DataFlex Studio, every Reports edition, every workspace — one right-click away. Stop hunting through Start menu folders. Stop launching the wrong version. Just pin it and forget about it.

WHAT IT DOES

01

All Versions, One Icon

Auto-discovers every DataFlex Studio version installed on the machine from the Windows registry. No configuration, no scripting, no maintenance — install a new version and it just appears in the launcher.

02

Reports Editions Too

DataFlex Reports editions are detected from Program Files automatically and grouped alongside Studio. Open the right Reports executable for the right `.dr` format — remembered after the first time you pick.

03

Right-Click Jump List

Pin once and your entire DataFlex toolchain is a right-click away. Versions, Reports, and Workspaces grouped into a native Windows taskbar jump list — the fastest launcher you'll ever use.

04

Smart File Associations

Register as the handler for `.vw`, `.rv`, `.sws`, `.ws`, `.dd`, `.pkg`, and `.dr` files. Double-click anything — DataFlex Opener reads the surrounding `.sws` to pick the correct Studio version automatically.

05

Workspace Aware

Add your workspaces once. DataFlex Opener inspects each workspace's `.sws` to launch the right Studio version — falling back to your chosen Primary Version when there's no signal to go on.

06

Stays Out of Your Way

Single-instance, dark-themed, sub-megabyte footprint. Launches minimise the window automatically. Settings live in a single JSON file you can copy between machines. No telemetry. No background service.
