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.
