Right, so I've checked in some code to fix the .shy maker. It does almost exactly what yo kudo describes. You give it a directory and it'll package up that directory and let you specify a script to launch when the .shy gets executed. So you can try it out on the samples direectory: shoes --shy samples Type in some metadata, select a launch script and save the shy. You can get some other commands with: shoes --help _why
