Parameters?Submitted by Edub on December 31, 2007 - 5:43am
How do I pass a parameter to an executable that appears on the PortableApps menu? For instance, I am using Truecrypt and when I launch Trucrypt I want it to auto mount my favorite volume. In order to do this I need "truecrypt.exe /a". I have looked all over but I have not been able to find any documentation for PortableApps. Sorry if I'm missing it. Thanks, Edub ( categories: )

i don't think you can
Official Apps support passing arguments to them using a ini file. But the Menu itself doesn't have that functionality.

Some of the alternative
Some of the alternative menus, like PStart, support things like that. You could search.
Another possibility is to create a launcher. A basic launcher is pretty easy, if all you want is a command line parameter or something. You could have a couple of launchers in the "somethingPortable" directory, each with a distinct name and different parameters, and PAM would pick them up.
A regular windows shortcut thinks it needs to have an absolute path, which doesn't help much.

You could use a shortcut
You could use a shortcut creator in the forums to make an app run with parameters.
