Modificable folders name

Bayel - August 24, 2009 - 10:03am

Hello. I use portable apps at work and it could be interesting for me to be able to change the music, video and pictures folders for the folders I really use.

For the time I use them to save files of my work, not music, nor videos, nor pictures.

As far as I know,

It's sort of possible to do this, but you'll have to do some editing and recompile the portableapps.com platform menu for yourself. Not a normal feature. There are a few possible backhand ways to do this without recompiling, including modifing launchers to act as menu shortcuts. Still a bit annoying. Perhaps someone can fine the code to do this, I used to have it, but alas, I lost my flash drive.

Coming

That feature will be coming in an upcoming release. Several people have asked for it. You'll be able to right-click on an icon and change the icon image, the name, the folder it points to or all 3.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
