some people were complaining that pam can't import normal applications and with a click import it in the menu.
There are people who don't need completely portable, no traces behind, software. They just want to be able to plug and launch their favourite apps.
Other people download apps at other websites which offer portable apps but not In the right format.
I want to write that and I am thinking in the way of generating a .lnk file pointing to the software who is copied in the apps map.
at appinfo.ini, can it handles a .lnk file instead of a exe file?
do you have a better idea?
Is there interest in something like this?

don't use a .lnk file.
Yes, the appinfo.ini can handle things other then .exe. But you'd be better off with some code that does (in NSIS)
ReadINIString $APP $EXEDIR\Data\settings\data.ini Program Location ${GetRoot} $EXEDIR $0 ${StrReplace} $APP @Drive\ $0\ $APP ;( I think that's right) IfFileExists $APP Launch Error Error: MessageBox MB_OK "Can't find $APP." Abort Launch: Exec $APPThe advantage to this is that if you want to launch a app in another place on the drive, or you can launch apps from another place on another drive. For your drive, just use @Drive instead of the drive letter. For implementation, check Geany Portable.

If it works like that it would be useless for recreating that
