Start Screenpresso with a Command-Line-Parameter

Hello,

the application Screenpresso consists of an EXE file.
When I start it, I can select to install it in my system or to run it portable.
In both cases the application data is stored in the %appdata% folder.

There is a command-line parameter to force Screenpresso to store the user-data in the folder of the EXE file:
--portablemode
I tested this by creating a link that contains the command line parameter and it works.

How can I start Screenpresso with the command-line-parameter via the PortableApps Launcher?
Unfortunately I can not right-click Screenpresso in the PortableApps Launcher and select Properties.
Here I can define a command-line-parameter.

This would be the most user-friendkly way

PA.c Launcher or PA.c Menu?

Just to prevent missunderstandings...
With the PA.c Launcher, you have to work with the launcher ini file (AppNamePortable.ini) in AppInfo and use the CommandLineArguments entry in the [Launch] section. (https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/)

The PA.c Menu itself does not support command line arquments natively. You have to use other ways to handle them. Quick and dirty: Create a batch to launch the app with the command line switch and use a bat to exe converter to create an exe that is recognized by the menu.

Added a Feature

I've added a feature to the new 26.1 release I just posted to help: https://portableapps.com/support/platform#addingotherapps

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
