Enhancement request

Hello!

I stumbled over PortableApps recently and am very very pleased with the idea and the functionality it provides. This was a really cool idea!

The program so far is working well. I would like to see two small enhancements in the program (already knowing, that everybody has some of these Smile ). First ist a 'subgrouping functionallity', that would allow me to fit different types of programs into one section (e.g: Following folders: 'Tools', 'Graphics', 'Games', 'Sound' and so forth). Right now the list of programs in the menu is so large already, that it got somewhat difficult sometimes to find a specific program. Thats the reason for this request.

The second wish is a really small one (and I admit, I could live without it), but it would be nice to have :). I would like to see an 'autostart' folder in the overview window, where I can put applications, that should be launched anytime the PortableAppsMenu.exe is called.

The idea is, I'm trying to finde, if this program wouldn't be sufficient enough to fully replace my regular startmenu, which would allow me to keep me from creating Images of my harddisk, because everything I need is in the PortableApps Menu on my stick and in my Harddisk (which both are manually synchronized). In case I would set up a computer from scratch, I would just copy the whole PartableApps directory to the newly installed one and thats it. I see a potential chance to push this project this far.

Again, let me express how pleased I am with this program. For me it is one of the coolest ideas in computer maintanence and management in years. Keep up with it!

kind regards,

Dietmar

Your requests

First thing, before sergentsiler gets to you you should read https://portableapps.com/node/7706, about you're requests if you run a search using the Search button on the top of the Forum you will find a Take-off of John's menu. The menu is just as good but with the first requests functionality. I don't know of anyone that has created a autostart feature, however I think that Patrick Patience may be working on something like that.
