Besides launching the ToolRunner from the File menu of MeVisLab, two additional, more direct methods exist.

To add the ToolRunner icon to the Dock, launch the ToolRunner from the File menu of MeVisLab or via the Tools context menu of MeVisLab in the Dock (Figure 3.2, “Launching the ToolRunner from the MeVisLab context menu in the Dock”).

3.3.2. Starting the ToolRunner via Associated File

The ToolRunner supports several file types that are associated with specific tasks. Most of them prefix their file extension with the letters ml. Double-clicking on such a file, e.g. in the Finder or on the Desktop, will launch the ToolRunner and load the file.
