A well known example of portable applications that require setting of custom command line parameters is Skype. This program can run in a portable mode only if specific string is added to its INI file. When using our Skype Portable Launcher this process is done automatically. But for those who want to manually add Skype to CodySafe menu we offer the following tutorial.
How to add Skype Portable to CodySafe menu
Adding Skype to CodySafe menu made easy.
Open the Applications Manager and select Add Application tab.
Click “Browse” and select the application executable file (Skype.exe).
In Command-line options field write the following string: /datapath:”Data” /removable
Please notice that this string is specific to the Skype portable application. Other applications need their specific command line parameters. Thus for example to run VLC in portable mode the following string is required :
--no-plugins-cache --config=vlcrc
The process of setting of command-line parameters for every other portable application can be found in the application description on the resource you are downloading it from. Now with CodySafe this process becomes simple. Just copy a parameters string and paste it to the Command-line Options field of Applications Manager.
