HI!

Mirror R13

Very nice, but I have a couple queries/suggestions, 1st is the problem of figuring out just what path to use for an executable in a custom button, I ended up using the full path without the drive (starting with "\PortableApps\Applic\App\App.Exe" as everything else seemed to be handled differently depending on how the menu got started (The working directory may not be consistent so a relative path didn't seem to work properly). To this end I'd like to suggest the possibility of a few macros for the PathToApp entry.

{DRIVE}  Drive Letter (P:)
{APPS}   PortableApps Dir (P:\PortableApps)
{THEME}  Theme Dir (P:\PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\Data\Theme\MyTheme)

Which could be implemented be replacing line 2776 with

Hint := StringReplace(StringReplace(StringReplace(iniTheme.ReadString(strSection, 'PathToApp', ''),
  '{DRIVE}', ExtractFileDrive(ParamStr(0)), [rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]),
  '{APP}', ExtractFileDir(ExtractFileDir(ParamStr(0))), [rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]),
  '{THEME}', ExtractFileDir(ParamStr(0))+'/Data/Theme/'+strTheme, [rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);

It might be nice to be able to provide cmd line parameters to the app run (ie: explorer.exe P:) but that can be handled by a script run from the menu. (and it would be a lot more difficult to add to the current program as you'd need either another string storage linked to the imgarrCustomImages, or you'd have to add a parser for the Hint property.

The other thing I noticed was that the Theme menu doesn't always show the actual theme, when i changed from my theme to the custom button demo, it would still show as my theme selected. When you first start the theme indicates correctly, but changing to another them other than the first or second (it seems) ends up with an incorrectly checked menu item.

I can still not change the programm list and the up and down arrows ( place and size ). Is there a possibility to do that in the next version because I dont want to arrange my themes and topics around those fixed arrows.

My PAM THEMES BLOG

Very Nice Indeed it comes very comes close to being the number 1 menu on my list currently it's number 2 and number 1 is portable dev's c++ version of pam which can be dragged around which I like because on my laptop the corner the original pam uses is blotched out on my laptop because of an accident that happened to it a while ago

Locales

I did the french.locale file
It's the français-fra.locale file.
It's here: http://whibo.4shared.com

Sorry to hear that production will cease but I do hope that you'll get your chance to catch up on your things

Here I just finished making the modifications to allow the menu to be dragged around the screen, and your quitting on me?

Downloaded and installed Turbo Delphi just for that purpose, the only thing I haven't put in is saving the changed offsets to PortableAppsMenu.ini, mostly because that opens a new can of worms in that when the offsets were loaded I'd have to check that we still fit within the current screen, and if it didn't fit, do I move it just move enough to fit, or drop back to the theme defaults.
And if a new theme is loaded do we use the moved location as a start or do the same check (keep location if fits otherwise move, right now it uses the theme default always)

I was going to paste the mods required here, but if your done I may have to take it over, not that I have that much more time available.

I've modified John's installer for this, I didn't use his wizard image as I thought it would make people unclear as to whether it was officially supported, so I used the only one I have, mine. It should work fine, and it's much easier than .rar.

Thx for the releases man.
maybe you can go on in future time

well done job

greetz

P.S Mirror will be up later

You have managed to capture every feature that just about everyone has suggested in these releases [cept for organization, but that's a tough and time consuming cookie]. Congrats on a great mod!

Now then, back to business. I know you guys out there have been theming this mod like crazy. Now that 13/14/15 is out, theming is just about all-powerful. Share your awesomeness, share your themes!

Here's the source to the installer, I've just posted it to take a look and make sure it's all good, and that you don't see any obvious mistakes.

This may be a little noobish, but my icons don't show for my apps. EX: The Firefox Logo doesn't show up beside the name Firefox Portable. I have all my apps installed in The root folder which is G:\ on my computer. I have NO idea what I did wrong. Can someone help?

I did it
It's the français-fra.locale file.
YOU CAN MODIFY IT AND INCLUDE IT TO THE NEXT PORTABLEAPPS MENU MOD OR/AND UPDATE THE PORTABLEAPPS MENU MOD R15 WITH THIS FILE. It's because I do the french.locale file for each PortableApps Menu Mod and it's never include in. It's........cheap for all my work.

I have repacked it and it's here: http://www.mediafire.com/?f2bcghxyx9t

Continuation of this menu. Current new features are that it is drag-able.

I don't seem to get the wallpaper swap to work i have put a wallpaper file that i have made to a bmp file in:

PortableAppsMenu\Data\myWallpaper.bmp

Any suggestions?

*FIXED* Never Mind i got it to work, i saved the image file again into a bmp file since i sav that my first bmp file was only 39kb instead of my second try it shows 3mb.*

Small but noisy bug. When i start apps from that menu - WorkingDirectory is root of my flashdrive. Fix please.
