Runner
Launch any script straight from your desktop with a single click.
.pybesrun files
A .pybesrun file is a shortcut to a specific script. Double-click it and Pybes starts up and runs that script directly.
Creating one
Right-click a script in the script list and choose Create shortcut. Choose where to save the .pybesrun file.
Using it
- Double-click to run
- Place it on the desktop or in a folder for one-click access
- Register it with Windows Task Scheduler to run on a schedule
Runner window
When launched via .pybesrun, Pybes opens a compact Runner window (400×500px):
- If runtime fields exist, the input modal appears
- Output streams in real time
- The main Pybes window is not shown
System tray
Clicking the × on the Pybes window minimizes it to the system tray instead of quitting.
- Tray icon — sits in the notification area
- Double-click — restores the window
- Right-click menu — Show or Quit
To actually quit: right-click the tray icon and choose Quit.
OS notifications
When a script finishes, a Windows toast notification shows the result.
| Result | Notification |
|---|---|
| Success | Script name + completion message |
| Error | Script name + error summary |
Single-instance behavior
Only one Pybes instance runs at a time. If Pybes is already running, double-clicking a .pybesrun file hands the script to the existing instance.
