Would it be possible to cater for physically external apps?

Hi All,

(My apologies if my search did not pick this up as an existing post.)

I'm never able to fit everything I need on a single external disc. My needs always seems to stay ahead of the available capacity

One solution I use is to put all my music on separate discs depending of the encoding format. Each music disc has it's own music player (XMPlayer/SongBirg/Foobar) installed on it so I don't have to reset paths and preferences etc.

Now what would be quite useful is if I would be able to add the music player (which is on an physically different drive) to PAM as an external app.

The PAM Mods do not allow you to add programs that's not on the same drive as PAM itself. Espresso/Café Mod does allow you to associate extensions to an application on a different drive. This still means that you have to browse to the drive/file to open it in stead of using PAM and the media players library function.

One way that would work for me is, if the app is displayed in PAM with the drive name appended to it. When it is available, it could be grayed out or even hidden. This would allow me to use the same player on all drives and all I need to ensure is that the (music) drive mounts on the same drive letter on different machines.

This could then also be useful if you organise different (work) projects on different drives, i.e. "xampp - [CustX]" and "xampp - [CustY]" available in your main PAM depending on which customers HDD you've plugged in.

Assuming time is not an issue, would this be an simple addition to PAM?

Thanks
Paul
