Removing the word "portable" from an application's menu itemSubmitted by reepicheep on May 8, 2008 - 6:12am
My version of the PortableApps menu has a load of "portable" applications, for example I have "Abiword Portable", "Clamwin Portable", "Firefox Portable", "GAIM Portable", "GNUcash Portable", "Inkscape Portable", "KompoZer Portable", "On-screen Keyboard Portable", "OpenOffice.org Calc Portable", "OpenOffice.org Writer Portable", "Scibus Portable", "Sudoko Portable", "Sunbird Portable", "Thunderbird Portable". That's an awful lot of "Portable"s. I'd like to remove that word. I tried editing the Name= clause of the App\AppInfo/Appinfo.ini and deleting the word "Portable" but it still appears in the menu item list. How can I customise my menu so this superfluous occurence of "Portable" doesn't show up any more? ( categories: )

For now,
the only way to do that is to recompile the launcher. When the new version of the Platform finally gets released,I think editing the App\AppInfo/Appinfo.ini will be sufficient.

I Agree
I see no shame in promoting the menus when it betters the user. Until we do get a new release, I think it's much better the original poster gets something that suits what he's looking for as long as he know it's unofficial and unsupported.

When?
Yeah I know that's a loaded question and that people have been asking when the next release wil become available. For the moment I can live with the multiple duplication of "portable". And my need for the system will soon finish for this academic year. But when the new year starts (September) I'd love not to see that word all over the place.
