Wishlist : category filter (or tab ?) in the sidebar and "portable like" version

[Virgus]

I've had so many apps in the sidebar that I've wondered if one day we might get an option to have grouped apps, either via tabs or just a text filter field.

About the "portable" setup I faked the two versions I'm currently using so that they behave as "portables". With a startup script I re-create at each launch a junction folder into the Roaming Appdata folder (I'm under Win7) so that each Station version can start from my removable SSD drive on any PC.

To be able to use many Station instances at the same time (and solve the "grouped apps" need I mentioned before), I created two profiles (now three with version 2.0.9) with Next version and Canary version. That's not possible with a single version: each version has a different Roaming path so the three can be "portable" without any conflict.

I use Canary for social media, Next for file sharing and more personal apps (even if Next release is even older than Canary it works quite well) and now v2.0.9 for testing. This kind of setup would allow to switch among different versions easily provided that only one instance per Roaming folder is executed.

To be able to use newer versions in this way there should be the option to set the Roaming folder name in an ini file or something similar, so to allow the two instances to use two independent sets of data. An even greater option would be to be able to assign the "profile folder" like we do in Firefox, via command line parameters. It would be a dream to avoid using "tricks" like the ones I'm currently using...
