PAM modification

Submitted by nttuzydupcpm on February 8, 2008 - 1:50pm

Is there an easy way to modify PAM easily so that Documents is not assumed to be a superset of Music, Pictures, and Video?

I would like to back up my documents without backing up the music. I know I can use Toucan.

Hello, nice to meet you Smile

Last days I've created a straighr clear Theme with many variatons. Can't get enough, maybe I'll generate some more ;-).
I'm a fan of e-paper and hope they finished the process development somedays (also like the new PAM ;-)). This theme is my imagination of a player using e-paper and so it's possible to have a smart click-clack portable.

CommonFiles Structure

Submitted by mstinaff on February 6, 2008 - 12:12pm

Specifically pertaining to commonized GPG.
on the one hand:

PortableDrive:\
  +\PortableApps\
    +\CommonFiles\
      +\gpg\
        +\App\   {GPG binaries}
        +\Data\  {GPG Home dir, keyrings and conf}

Seems more concise and organized. But the data dir is missed by PortableAppsBackup.

On the other:

PortableDrive:\
  +\PortableApps\
    +\CommonFiles\
      +\gpg\
        +\App\   {GPG binaries}
    +\gpg\
      +\Data\  {GPG Home dir, keyrings and conf}

Can you change the icon for the thumb drive??

i tried doing it..i placed the icon inside the drive and renamed the portableapps.exe line in the "autorun.inf" with the name of my icon with its ".ico" word...i remove the drive , plug it in , no result..what am i doing wrong or is it impossible for you to change the icon..but logic wise you should and can change icon...i even read an article from lifehacker.com about changing icons for drives....ooooh...i had a brain blast...do i have to make a separate autorun for my icon??...hm..so what do you guys know about this?

PortableMenu Suggestions

Submitted by chenko on February 5, 2008 - 11:36am

Not sure if this is the best place, I haven't seen many around but I have a few suggestions for consideration.

-Auto start applications when PAM starts, with options for delay.

-Run application/script on close.

-Custom shortcut to open the menu. (Alt+Winkey would be nice I think, though thats not a generally allowed shortcut isn't it?)

-Allow manual addition(and hide) of programs into the list. Could have a settings file that you put in programs to add and the programs to ignore in.
