PortableApps.com PlatformPortableApps.com Menu, Backup and Platform/Suite installer. Adding New Folders to the Platform - A Q&D solution![]() Submitted by solanus on August 21, 2009 - 7:43am
One of the more requested enhancements to the PA platform is the addition of more folder shortcuts, other than the default Documents, Music, Pictures, Video, and Explore. This example makes shortcuts to two custom subfolders of Documents: Web Pages and Work. First create your subfolders: X:\Documents\WebPages X:\Documents\Work Then create the following folder structure: X:\PortableApps\Folders\App\Appinfo ( categories: )

Request: Per-icon parameters for multi-icon apps![]() Submitted by qwertymodo on August 18, 2009 - 12:52pm
One thing I don't like about the way the platform handles multiple-icon apps is the way it handles custom parameters. Using AppNamePortable.ini's AdditionalParameters field appends those parameters to all of the icons. Also, it might be conceivable that it might be useful to have two icons both pointing to the same executable with different parameters. I've tried adding parameters to the end of the Start field of appinfo.ini, but that doesn't work. The ability to use custom parameters should be added into appinfo.ini on an icon-by-icon basis (i.e. Name1, Start1, Parameters1, etc). ( categories: )
How to take a screenshot of the platform?Submitted by 0per4t0r on August 18, 2009 - 10:16am
I have a custom theme that i'd like to show off, but I can't take a screenshot of the platform, because it hides itself before I get a chance. I use lightscreen portable at the moment. ( categories: )
PA Suite Platform UpdateSubmitted by Kaotik762 on August 18, 2009 - 9:45am
Good day to all! I have the older versions of the PA Suite that has only the "X" button in the lower right hand corner of the platform on two seperate USB jump drives. Both drives have different apps (one for office, one for home). Recently, I noticed the newer version of the platforms have an extra "-" button added. When I tried to swap platforms just for the extra button I wound up having to reinstall all the apps again. Is there a way to do this without reinstalling all the apps previously installed?

Languages in the platformSubmitted by prapper on August 18, 2009 - 5:32am
I've noticed there are a few discrepancies in the language codes between 1.5.2 and 2.0. A couple of them are just the 'Name' (which I don't think is important) but a few of the other codes have changed too (French and German for instance) which breaks the language switching. Rather than list them here, I've uploaded a document I created in Notepad++, noting the changes. Perhaps one of the language experts here could look at it and check what's right and what's wrong.
