Customization of portable apps interface

there isnt really much of a search function in this forum. if there is could someone please point it out.

this is my first post, i have just downloaded the software and looks very promising. works really really well. i do have a question tho.

are you able to customize where documents, music, videos and what not point to. as i have my own folder structure and just want to change the shortcuts to those ?

Thanks for your help.

Search

There is search available in the right hand corner of the page.

Currently the answer is no, you can't change the targets. Some time you will be able to, but not yet.

Custom Menu

You can rearrange the folder structure in your Documents folder all you want, but the Menu won't follow suit (something about satisfying as many end-users as possible by keeping things simple).
There are many menus similar to the PA.c menu that you can use though (there's a nice long list here).

Menu

I see how you want to make it very easy to use. but why cant they put something in the INI file that points these locations somewhere else.

i meen it would be a simple program thing like

if ($ini(PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\PortableAppsMenu.ini,DisplayOption,DocumentLocation)!= null) then
shellopen($ini(PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\PortableAppsMenu.ini,DisplayOption,DocumentLocation))
else
shellopen $appendDIR(\Documents)

this would make it easy to use for noobs and more customizable by expert users

I don't think it will make in the next release

I do have a way to easily add folder shortcuts into the same list as the applications (on the left).
