Hi

First of all, thank you for this awesome tool. I've been looking for something like this for ages. (I've been a long time user of the Zalman 2.5" case that allowed something similar to Ventoy, but in hardware.)

Now my feature request:

The ability to put the ISO files anywhere in the USB drive is a great usabiilty feature. I would like it to be possible for the ventoy.json file to have this feature too, so I could put it along with my ISO files in my ISO folder and keep the rest of the drive clean. Since the ventoy folder's existence seems to be there just to hold the ventoy.json file, why not allow that particular file to reside anywhere in the drive instead of a rigid placement inside a ventoy folder at the root folder of the drive? If the ventoy folder is expected to hold more things in the future, just allow the folder to be placed anywhere instead of just the root folder.

Congratulations for what you have achieved already and keep the good work!

Here are few things below which I thought to share:

1.Dont make/call optional menu for Power [power.cfg], it makes the performance bit slower. Instead
in VTOYEFI\GRUB\grub.cfg file:

1. Remove :
function ventoy_power {
    configfile ($root)/grub/power.cfg
}

2. Replace/Add
set VTOY_F2_CMD="reboot"
set VTOY_F6_CMD="halt"

    set VTOY_HOTKEY_TIP="F1:Memdisk F2:Reboot F3:TreeView F4:Localboot F5: Debug F6:Halt"
    set VTOY_HOTKEY_TIP="F1:Memdisk F2:Reboot F3:ListView F4:Localboot F5: Debug F6:Halt"


3. Instead displaying [Memdisk] seperately, is it possible just to highlight F1:Memdisk when activated?

4. Please give/implement an option for user defined Partition size instead of VENTOY choosing the entire HDD for ExFAT. If user could choose the size then rest of the space could have been utilized for some other purpose. I tried formatting the ExFAT partition in NTFS Format and then SHRINK the Partition, but later I created extra Partition/Drive, VENTOY Stopped booting. I did not get any success with Multiple Partitions/Drives. Please look into this matter and explain if we could work on Multiple Partitions with VENTOY and how to?

Hello,

Did anyone manage to get persistence to work with KRD or eset rescue disk ?

The persistence image is correctly mounted in /dev/mapper/ventoy_persistence but the system is unable to use it as a persistence storage.

Thank you.

常见的的内存检测工具，官方只提供IMG档，改成.iso档后无法正常启动，用MemDisk也不行，希望新版能支持一下。

按照官网发布的个性化设置都指向文件ventoy/ventoy.json，我这u盘里怎么找不到这个文件？

First off, thank you for the amazing tool!!  I've been using this for a few weeks and really love what you've give the community.  

My question is, would it be possible to utilize Ventoy in a PXE environment?  It would be great to boot Ventoy over the network and then have it look in a set directory for ISO's.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you again!

Hi,
This may be a total noob question but please help me out here.

I managed to install Ventoy on a usb without problems and I can load Linux live ISO files without problem.
From what I read on the site and this forum it should be possible to actually install the OS so it is not the live version of the OS anymore.
And also it should be possible to run Win10 directly from the usb stick?

Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to do this? To me this is not clear from the documentation on the site or this forum.
Everywhere it just says to dump ISO file on the usb. So, is there a step I miss in preparing an ISO file?
Also my first go with making a multi boot usb.

Do anyone success with alias name plugin, what is UTF8 encoding is needed?

where should I put this UTF8??

thank you
