Missing Splash Screen Aliases
Because I have nothing better to do here at 3 in the morning, I thought I'd go through and find which URL's displayed in the PortableApps.com Splash screens actually didn't exists, here's the applications who need to have aliases added to there actual page.

https://portableapps.com/MPlayerPortable

https://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/mplayer_portable

To
https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/winmerge_portable
https://portableapps.com/WinSCPPortable
To
https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/winscp_portable
Also, there's no harm in adding these for users that assume they exist:
https://portableapps.com/VMGPortable
To
https://portableapps.com/apps/accessibility/virtual_magnifying_glass_portable
https://portableapps.com/winMd5sum(Portable)
To
https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/winmd5sum_portable
Have fun. Edit: So apparently I'm spam, John if you see this you can just add these and then delete this.

They are still unfixed and some new ones are here:
PDFTKBuilder, Jooleem, Infrarecorder, Peazip, TaskCoach and the ones I forgot. Smile

If this hosted on a Linux

If this hosted on a Linux box (I assume so) then the "shortnames" that appear in the splash screen could be symlinked to the correct location.

The advantage of the shorter names in the splash is less to type for a new user of PortableApps (if they never find the help.html file that is).

No need for symlinks

This is hosted on Drupal, a CMS system. And, it has clean urls turned on. As this uses a database and some php, there are no fixed pages that actually exist.

So, there is an admin interface that allows you to choose url aliases, in there it is possible to make all of the stuff that is being requested here.

BUMP

John, it looks like you forgot this. It should only take a couple minutes, and it worth is as I'm sure people are using those URL's. Don't forget the new releases, too.

I've added in all the ones from Patrick's original post as well as the others mentioned in comments. If anyone notices any missing, please let me know.

Thanks

I'll let you know if I see any more. Also, don't forget to add them as pre-releases are going out, or maybe add all the pre-release ones now.
