A Launch File is a file that automatically opens outside of kJams whenever a particular song is played. For example, you may have lyrics sheets that are text documents that you want displayed when you play a song. Or you may want a photograph to come up. Or each song may have its own script that runs, doing something unique, like setting stage lighting or playing a movie in QuickTime.

Launch files are song-specific; and each song can have its own launch file.

I suggest you experiment with this. You might just come up with some great ideas. davequestion: Is there any way to see that a launch file is attached to a song, or do you just have to play it to find out?

To set a launch file:

  1. Select the song.
  2. Advanced → Special → Set Launch file
  3. Select your file and click on Open.

To remove the launch file:

  1. Select the song.
  2. Advanced → Special → Clear Launch file
