PortableApps Suite - Choosing custom software option

Hiya chaps.

Would it be possible to provide an "advanced" option for download of the PortableApps suite where you choose exactly which software you want from the complete list?

Because that would be so much more convenient than downloading all the extras I want like InfraRecorder or Notepad++.

Cheers,
Robin.

This has been asked quite a few times before

But the amount of logistics and sheer work is more than anyone can handle right now.

Anyhow, the total DL time would be the same anyway. The biggest PITA is that you have to click through a bunch of windows to pick each package. However, if you go directly to the SourceForge download page, you get a nice list to pick and choose from.

Me, I use Portable Firefox and the Download Now! plugin, which increases DL speed dramatically, so downloading individual apps doesn't take too long at all.

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.

Fair enough. I see it's a fair bit of work for little gain. Just thought it'd be nice.

Maybe I'll get involved with PortableApps development sometime soon.

A possible workaround

would be to install just the menu and the updater and pick the Apps that way.
Maybe the updater will be included into the next version so it will be even easier.
