How can i add an existing free portable application (i.e. Oracle SQL Developer) to the PortableApps Menu

Is it possible to add an existing portable application to the PortableApps menu without using the "Install a New App" option.

Im working with Oracle SQL Developer and Jdeveloper which are both portable. It would be extremely handy if i could add them to the PortableApps Menu so that I could access all my portable applications from one point. Can this be done?

These applications don't have the directory structure of the other official portable applications by portableapps.com

Yea, in fact.

Sigh, this gets old, just drag and drop the folder into "applications". I actually know someone, who by telling Word to put it's registry in the flashdrive in settings, put an unmotified portable Microsoft Word on his flashdrive. No programming, just settings.

Sigh, your somewhat

Sigh, your somewhat demeaning attitude to new users also gets old. I've seen a few posts from you like this. You haven't been a member all that long yourself, and still have plenty of your own questions that i've seen and responded to. Is the type of response you just gave this new member the same type of response you want the other members to give your questions? The user had already recieved an answer anyway, your post was in no way constructive, and could quite possibly be seen as demeaning to the original poster, and also give him the impression that you, or maybe most of our forum members, have some sort of superiority complex, which is certainly not the case.
