Command line arguments in appinfo.ini

Can I use the appinfo.ini to append commandline arguments to an exe?

I am (again) working on Birthday Reminder Portable and when I install it locally, it has 2 shortcuts in its folder. One just launches "bday.exe" and the other launches "bday.exe 1".
I am trying to get it working with the new PortableApps.com Launcher. It works great but I can only have 1 exe.
Chris said here that appinfo.ini can do commandline arguments but it looks like it cant do them the way I need them Sad

Any hints?

Nope

It doesn't currently support command line arguments.

Use the PortableApps.com Launcher. The next release supports multiple launchers.

The latest version (from

The latest version (from Mercurial) does support multiple launchers; it supports command-line parameters too. Just put the appropriate command-line args in the [Launch]->CommandLineArguments section.
