MLdonkey Launcher is a small AppleScript that once installed allows you to start MLdonkey from ScriptMenu instead of the Terminal.

Advanced options :
* Enable logging : records MLdonkey's activities in the mldlog.log file, located in the same folder as MLdonkey.
* Get external IP address at launchtime : useful if your computer is in a local network, behind a router. The launcher fetches your external IP address (the IP of your router) so that MLdonkey can use it instead of the IP of your computer. NOTE : the launcher only does that when MLdonkey starts.
* Get external IP address automatically : useful if your computer is in a local network, behind a router. The launcher tells MLdonkey to get your IP address from the eDonkey servers you are connected to. If your ISP changes your IP address, MLdonkey detects it and uses the new IP address.
* Daemon mode : MLdonkey is launched in "daemon" mode : it does not quit when you log out and another user logs in. Don't forget to set a password in the interface if you don't want the other users of your Mac to be able to access MLdonkey.
* Open Web interface at launchtime : opens the page http://127.0.0.1:4080 in your favorite browser.
* Open Apple X11 interface at launchtime : starts X11.app (if it is not already open) then opens the X11 GTK interface of MLdonkey.
* Install MLdonkey in X11's Application menu : adds the item "MLdonkey" in the Applications menu of the Apple X11 interface. This allows you to easily open the X11 GTK interface of MLdonkey. If the BSD subsystem of MacOS X is not installed, this option is disabled. If you want to do that manually, use the "Customize..." item of the X11 Applications menu. The command you will have to enter is :
xterm -e "/path/to/mldonkeyfolder/mlgui"
Be sure to replace "/path/to/mldonkeyfolder/" by the path to the folder where MLdonkey is located.
