[QUOTE="krs, post: 1835103, member: 67742"] Thanks for the idea, Ian, but that is not really what I was after. What you suggest will definitely work, as you said many apps come that way with a ReadMe file in the folder with the app, but what I'm after is what I posted in my last sentence in the original post: "to include a note that I can read just glancing down the apps listed in the App folder" I don't want to have to open a folder just to see what the app does., I suppose I could add text to the name of the folder, eg call the folder in your example "Clean Text - Cleans up Text automatically but doesn't work with Libre Office or Pages" (I just made that up). But that is a bit of a 'work-around' Along those lines...some apps allow one to add additional text to the name of the app, like for Ramber I can add (RAM Testing) and that seems to work fine; some other apps don't allow that - any idea why? And what are the potential downsides of adding a short description if allowed? That would help a little bit. I have now started to just make a separate list as just a text file, grouping application by function and then listing the pros and cons. BTW - What brought that up is that there seem to be more and more apps that are one trick ponies. And quite a few have names that don't relate to the apps functionality. So if I don't use them regularly, I don't remember exactly what they do and how good their functionality is. I suppose within limits, I could add a brief description as part of the folder name [/QUOTE]
