TextPad now allows itself to be made portable, and offers a BATch files and a command line to import the registration. I cannot figure out how to pass that command line to the app (or, in the alternative, run the BATCH file instead).
I have searched this forum and one post (about Firefox) came REAL close, but someone derailed it into a KeepPass discussion. I also saw some mention of [Launch] but didn't see where to put it or how it works (I tried).
With this, can some kind soul please tell me how to launch TextPad with a command line or as a batch file instead? If it helps, the command line is:
textpad -f config -k license
Thanks!

I don't believe Textpad is a PortableApps app. Have you tried writing to it's author or vendor?

Don't need to contact the author; this is a question as to the actual method to pass a command line through the PortableApps launcher. if it helps, please make believe I want to pass the command line of
-f config -k license
to Firefox portable.
Any assistance is appreciated.
On this page of the launcher documentation, you'll see that there's an option under [Launch] called "CommandLineArguments". To use your exact problem as an example, the line would read "CommandLineArguments=-f config -k license". Hope this helps.
I don't find TextPad on this page:
https://portableapps.com/apps
so how does Launcher documentation help? What am I missing?

The original poster was asking about commandline parameters and was using Firefox as an example. I don't think it matters if TextPad is an official app or not. Albeit this might be better suited to the Portable App Development forum.
If he is using Firefox Portable as a basis the PAL docs won't help either. Firefox Portable still uses a custom Launcher and hasn't been updated to the PortableApps Launcher yet.
Thank you for the missing piece to the puzzle. FYI, I had found that documentation page but either hit it from a link which didn't show, or didn't notice, the lead in telling me WHERE to put the file. Hopefully I can figure out how to apply that. THANKS!
