Feature Addition: Scanning multiple directories for apps, opinions sought

There have been a few requests over the years to have the PortableApps.com Platform scan additional paths for apps. The rationale is usually that users want to keep non-PAF apps separate from PAF apps or apps that are updated automatically by the platform separate from those that are not. I'm planning on implementing this within a future release of the PortableApps.com Platform and wanted to layout the setup and see if there are any comments or suggestions.

Two Chrome Portable versions show as one icon on Windows 10 taskbar

Hi,

I’m using Windows 10 (64-bit) and have two separate Chrome Portable versions running from different folders:

Both launch fine with their own profiles, but when I open them together, Windows groups them under one single Chrome icon on the taskbar.

Is there a way to make multiple Google Chrome Portable instances appear as separate icons on the Windows taskbar?

Thank you.
