# LinuxPA
The goal is to create a fully functional PortableApps.com type launcher that can properly parse data from the PortableApps.com format. Apps are launched by a .sh file in the app's directory. Currently pulls out the Name and Category from App/AppInfo/appinfo.ini
Works well with AppImage apps.
I'm trying to make it work well with [AppImages](http://appimage.org/).
# Why?
I know that Linux only has about 2% desktop usage and I know that the traditional way to install apps isn't portable, but over the past year or so I've started to put linux apps on my flash drive (AppImage is a great example of a portable solution to linux apps. Also a lot of DRM-free games can be run portably), but there was no easy way to organize my linux apps, so I created one. I personally have used the PortableApps.com launcher for years now and I love how properly formated the apps are, which allows me to grab info about the app easily.
