Feature Request: Find-as-you-type program filter in Launcher (a la Win 7 start menu)

Submitted by durex on November 15, 2011 - 12:12pm

As my list of portable apps is growing larger and larger, its starting to become much more difficult to find apps - even when using the "smart categories".

Would it be possible to implement a search at the bottom where one could simply start typing a program name to have the list automatically filter down in the same manner the Windows 7 / Vista start menu does?

Im sure this has already been suggested elsewhere, but I couldnt figure out how to easily search through these forums, so apologies if this has already been addressed.

Thanks a bunch!

Mouse Over In Menu

Submitted by salavine1 on November 14, 2011 - 10:26pm

Hello All,

Any thoughts on how to display the appinfo.ini Description for an app on mouse over of the icon in the menu. It currently shows the Version (I like that), It shows the Author(That's OK), and the path to the file(Not Needed for me). I would like to replace the Path with the Description. I'm guessing that this is probably hard coded in. I sometimes find it hard to remember what the app does based on the name, so the description would give me a hint. Thanks for reading this.

Instead of the current large portable apps menu,
I would prefer a permanent, single column of only the icons of the programs i have, perhaps optionally with the name of the program showing when doing a mouse-over, over the icons.

a single column, just the width of the icons currently, stuck to the right or left of my desktopspace, and making it always-on-top over everything, would be great!

Disable Ctrl-Alt-Space hotkey

Submitted by PowaUserOne on November 7, 2011 - 7:54am

I wanted to try out portable apps but ran into a problem. Currently the Ctrl-Alt-Space hotkey opens up the portable apps menu. I am a developer and I already have assigned this in my IDE (Resharper default).

I don't really see the need for a portable apps hotkey for me at the moment and I would like to disabled it, but I can't find it in settings.
Is there a way to disable or change it?
