I am requesting that some modification be done to the Control section of the platform's appinfo.ini, and maybe up the version to a minor 3.1 to reflect changes.
1.=================================
As it is right now, for an app that has multiple icons like libre office, we declare it like this which is confusing:
start=app0.exe
start1=app1.exe
name1=Application One
start2=app2.exe
name2=Application Two
extracticon2=app2.exe
I propose it be done like this which is easier to understand and write logic in the platform to split by the pipe symbol to get the values. (application.executable)|[name to display it as]|[extracticon]
the stuff in () is required and the stuff in [] is optional.
// All on one line version
start=app0.exe|app1.exe|Application One|app2.exe|Application Two|extracticon
// Multiple lines version
start=app.exe
start1=app1.exe|Application One
start2=app2.exe|Application Two|extracticon
2.==================================
In the file type icons I propose it be done like this:
if the app supports extntions that the platform does not, then we can add these extensions like this:
video=np3,np4,nkv
ebook=pdf,book
Or if we want the app's own icon to show for the extensions instead of the platform's:
app=mp3,mp4,mkv
Or if we want a custom icon to show for the extensions instead of the platform's:
custom=mp3,mp4,mkv
