Suggesting/requesting that Calibre Portable include the standalone ebook-edit.exe and ebook-viewer.exe programs located in PortableApps\calibrePortable\App\Calibre
be included, therefore independently launchable from the PortableApps.com Platform, in the PortableApps\calibrePortable
directory.
To clarify, I mean that Calibre Portable ought to be packaged like OpenOffice Portable and LibreOffice Portable. ebook-edit.exe and ebook-viewer.exe are technically standalone applications that ebook developers and end-user modifiers alike benefit from using independently of the main calibrePortable.exe manager program. Because we don't have different import
versions of the in-development or currently modifying ebook project we're working on cluttering up our Calibre library. Which is otherwise, as currently packaged, the only way to launch and utilize these applications for development purposes and, for developers and modifiers, resulting in an avoidable mess of our Library to deal with.
I understand OpenOffice and LibreOffice are currently the only exceptions to apps featuring multiple executables, as described. I also understand that the PortableApps.com Launcher cannot, at least in of itself, be used to achieve this result. It is entirely unclear how to manually attempt it.
Failing the official release(s) of this packaged that way, I'd appreciate information on how to package, or modify the existing PAF of it, this software as described myself in PAF format. With as many details and/or examples as possible, if possible. Please and thank you.

Additionally, as an example of the sort of how-to information I'm seeking, I'd be curious to know if it could be as simply done as to make a copy of the existing Calibre Portable PAF, modifying the PortableApps\calibrePortable\App\AppInfo/appinfo.ini
and/or PortableApps\calibrePortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher/calibrePortable.ini
then using the PortableApps.com Launcher to get an .exe
of these two where they need to be, and then roll them into one, or if other methods to these means are required. And if so, what and how?
