Application creation source folder

For example creating an app that has the same name as the source folder would make it easy to track the what source folder is attached to what application. They current way requires you to adhere to a specific naming standard defined by someone else that might not match what you already have,

    Having the app version rather than a UniqueID would be quite helpful too, we sometimes need to manually install stuff and going into each UniqueID folder and checking the version in the app properties (if it has it) would get old fast.

Allow full customization of Application Storage Path

Merged

Merged
I would love to see the ability to change the name of the directory created by PMP for application deployments when stored on local file servers. For example, our deployment was setup to put all of the source data in \\fileserver\IT\Apps but due t...
