Removing some programs from the menu (but not from the flashdrive)?

Submitted by gaikokujinkyofusho on November 10, 2007 - 12:42am

I have installed some apps on my thumbdrive that aren’t the nicely made paf files so some of them have additional .exe files. The problem is these additional .exe files are needed by the main program but just clutter up the menu. Is there a way I can remove/exclude these superfluous .exe files? Any help would be thoroughly appreciated!

Cheers

How to install an app into Portable Apps Menu manually?

Submitted by rjobs on October 31, 2007 - 10:51pm

Dear all,

I have installed some application and made some configurations to them separately.

Then I decide to integrate them all into portable apps menu, so it will be more easy to me to access them.

Does anybody know how to integrate them into portable apps menu manually? I don't want to install a new one, but I want to use my already installed apps, because I don't want to lose the add-ons I have already installed and I don't want to do setting to these application again.

Thanks for your help,

Regards,
Ronny

Multiple USB drives

Submitted by HdxBmx27 on October 30, 2007 - 4:14pm

Is there any possible way to add a second 'PortableApps' folder to the menu?
Heres the setup, I have two USB drives.
One holds my utility apps. (FTP, DevC++, Clam, etc...)
And the other holds my games (Starcraft, CS:S, WoW, GuildWars, etc)
It would be nice if I could add another folder that the menu would look at.
So that I can plug both drives in, click 'Add App Dir' nav to my 2nd USB, and have it list all my games.
So I don't have to run two menus.
Not to big of a deal, just curious if it is possible. in any manor.

Menu Suggestions

I know there are modified versions of the PortableApps Menu but some of them are unstable and do not work as well as the original so I cam providing a few suggestions for the next version of the Menu.

- Allow the addition of folders within the menu so that Programs on the portable device can be categorized.

- Allow renaming of programs that are placed in the Portable Apps Menu.

- Allow resizing of the Menu and also allow the menu to dragged around on the screen.
