Install new launcher?

Submitted by thaKing on July 7, 2011 - 7:45am

I have the older (original?) launcher for my portableapps. I'd like to keep the apps I have and get the new launcher. However, the only way I see to get this is to install the suite, which comes with apps I don't want, and doesn't have the apps I *do* want. How do I get the new launcher and keep my existing apps?

Is it possible to add command line startup switches to 'other' apps in the PA menu?

I know how to add command line startup switches to PortableApps launchers.

I have added several apps within the PortableApps folder, which are already portable, so they do not have PA launchers.

These programs' icons appear in the PA menu, which is great, but I was wondering if there was any way to add startup switches to these icons, in a similar way you can with Windows shortcuts in the Start Menu.

If not, is there a workaround? Is it possible to make an ultra-simple launcher which opens the executable with command line switches and then closes?
