[PATCH] Mod R31

Hi
The polish language is finished, please add it to the PAM Mod 31, thanks!
Have a look:
https://portableapps.com/node/4852

I'm noticing that Openoffice.org Base still isn't showing up in R34. I know it's not a big deal because most hide it anyways, but I wonder why it isn't even showing at all.

@ one: look for the (sometimes hidden ) autorun.ini file and change the path to your mod
@ two the wallpaper has to be put into the ../PortableAppsMenu(mod)/Data folder and called like the theme you use, eg MyThemewallpaper.bmp. So, if you load the theme you´ll have the fitting wallpaper.If you have only one wallpaper for all themes you can name it mywallpaper.bmp

I think there's no need to change. (Almost) Everybody knows it's a further development of the PA Menu, that's typical for a Mod ;-). But your fixing was a minor step to dev themes; it corrects a big limitation.

Now I'm waiting for someone who's fixing these points:
1 - top on my wishlist - addind an onclick=loadtheme command with an argument to load a special theme (so we can dev. themes in 2 sizes for diff. screen resolutions, like I tried with 2click https://portableapps.com/node/11961 )
2 - A path-to-app command with the possibility to add arguments, for example to open my music-folder with a player or documents with an alternative explorer.
3 - The possibility to change the app-list width (sometimes it looks smarter when it's smaller than 240px)
The mods are necessary to find out whats really helpful. That can't be done with official versions published in an interval of one year.
I'm missing the mod devellopment, you see?

"Where did the eject button go?" is the wrong question. The fork was happened when the official menu also doesn't have one.
The custom themes use an eject script execute by a custom button, not an internal code.

stretch=1 check the .ini! of the default theme, add the code to your wanted theme.ini
e voila
@2 check the PTC theme folder, take the custom button code for eject, put it into your theme.ini and adjust size and position to your needs, copy ejectscript+ini
as Mr.Elchbau said, R33 hasn´t got a built in eject since it´s a fork of Pam 1.0
eject has come with 1.1
just look into some theme.inis to get a feeling for the code

thanx for your email, testing is finished -> suggestions for future development ( R34 ROCKS!)
Your probable dream of a theme selector:
-1 do a basic theme with one switch button like in bar theme
-2 the switch leads to a bar with thumbs of all themes in your selector
-3 clicking on the thumb starts the theme (thanks to custom image pathtoapp code)
-> every selectable theme has a switch button leading to the selector
if I get the time I´ll send you a template by email...

EDIT: check your emails...;)

Hi Mickeyj4j,

1. You have to install the official menu first.
2. Look at http://ptc.kain-planet.de/tutorial.php
There you'll see where to put the files to.
3. Perhaps the file is corrupt by downloading? Is it R31 PaTCed? Try it.

Hope that works.

An setup file would be very comfortable. But the mod wasn't developed to replace the official menu in further times. It's to find out which features are useful and should be implant to the official menu too. So there's no need to make it simple

Okay, once again.
-If you have an official PAM 1.1 with apps on your old flashdrive just copy the whole onto the root of your new drive.
-unzip R34 folder to your desktop and then copy it to the new drive side by side with the official PAM folder. -> you have two Menues on your drive.
-For testing purposes create a desktop link to the PAM within the PatchedFolder and start it. All should work as ever -> PTC Theme is the best choice for beginners
-if it does you should know that R34 can´t be started by the official StartPortableApps.exe on the root of the drive. You´ll have to create a .bat file and convert it to an exe, call it e.g. StartMod.exe and refer to it in autorun.inf
For switching back to the official menu just use the official starter
You needn´t copy the patched menu into the official PortableAppsMenu folder - use it side by side -> no sophisticated installing procedure needed
Please notice that the path to themes is different from that in the official menu, this could have produced your initial error...
And please notice to have made a backup of your drive before playing around with the mods, though stable as they are nothing unexspected should occur...;)

to categorize you can use the mod R34:
- rightclick on any app, chooose category-> add category
- a window appears define the category name and press enter ->
you´ll find the new category in the menu´s app list
- now, rightclick on the app to be categorized, choose category and check the one you have created -> the app will be categorized
It´s somehow selfexplanatory... just play around a bit..

or just use categorizer, an app from the beta forums

at first start..
