New Folder Shortcut in PortableAppl menu

Hi

I'm writing a Comic Book files reader (Java-Comix) and I have prepared portable version of it (unfortunately only manual installation is required) - soon it will be available from source forge page (I mean the portable version).

But back to the question - how to add a new shortcut to a folder from the USB drive to the menu (like there are Documents, Music, Pictures, Video...)?

I want to have a "Comic books" option there. It would be fallowing path: Documents\Comix

Is it possible to extend that menu?

Thanks in advance,
Wrobel-Cwirek

Can't Yet / Not a Good Idea

You can't yet, but you will be able to soon.

And it's not a very good idea anyway since double-clicking the files wouldn't open your portable app anyway.

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

If he was using CAFE and made CAFE

associate the files with the program then it would be a good idea.

Why don´t You

change the name of one of the default folders - the one You rarely use - to "comics" in Your .locale file? Ok, the path must be set to the original folder name e.g. pictures, but it may work till the next PAM ß.
Or else, P-Start can manage .exes, folders etc You can put it into the PortableApps folder and start it from the PAM https://portableapps.com/node/7290

PAM Mod

You can do this in the PAM Mod. Check it out here.

Comix not working w/ PAM 1.1 beta 4

I ran the Comix-Portable app, it started fine w/ PAM 1.0 and after upgrading to PAM 1.1 (beta 4) I can not get the link to open the program. If I want to open Comix I have to open the root file and the start the Comix Window batch file. Has anyone else experience this issue? Is there a workaround?

Thanks
