aundeadrockstar - May 24, 2012 - 2:00pm

i was wondering if there is a way to make my own theme? i had a old portable app and i had made a theme and changed a lot of things. i just started over with the newest one and i have no idea how to make a theme anymore. can anyone help me out? i searched but the few things i could find where for older versions.


Extra Features and ideas

Niisan518 - May 20, 2012 - 1:54am

Just Thought i would throw some ideas out

*Install

when installing there should be a check-box that says update multiple usb drives and let you install to more than one thumb for a quick update.

*Options

In the options and advanced there should be a show at all times check-box to make the menu stay open until minimized again.

*Ideas

There should also be a way to add users folders into the quick-launch menu.

Changing the size of the menu sounds good


Feature Request: disable "Start Automatically" for a single launch

dansmith65 - May 12, 2012 - 3:55pm

I use the "Start Automatically" feature for a hand-full of apps, and find it extremely useful. However, I occasionally want to be able to open the PortableApps.com Platform WITHOUT running all my apps set to start automatically.
Some reasons I want this:
I accidentally closed the platform, so all the apps that would launch automatically are already running.
Need quick access to only a few apps, but don't want to wait for (and have to manually close) all the auto-start apps.

I think this could be accomplished with holding a key while launching the Platform; "Shift" would make sense to me.


Feature Request: clean up AND re-launch

dansmith65 - May 12, 2012 - 3:47pm

Currently, if a PortableApp isn't closed properly (computer crashes, or re-boots without closing all portable apps), the next time it is run you get a dialog saying:
"AppName Portable did not close properly last time it was run and will now clean up. Please then start AppName Portable again manually."

I think the launcher should be able to automatically launch the App after it does the necessary clean up.

P.S. is this the best place to post this?


Is it possible to launch a non exe (shortcut) from the PA Menu?

transcender - May 10, 2012 - 9:18am

Ive not had consistent luck w/ Texter Portable. I'm trying an alternative PhraseExpress which provides its own portabilized version. Unfortunately to instantiate the portable aspect of it, they implemented it to use an argument/parameter
-portable
So to create a batch/shortcut could work but the Portable Apps menu does not recognize this. Is there a way to get this to work as such?

"Options - Refresh App Icons", where is it?

probedb - May 4, 2012 - 3:02am

I'm trying to add foobar to PortableApps and have read the Support page but I can't find this option?

Under 'Options' I just have 3 tabs general, Themes and Advanced and it's not in any of them?

I'm obviously being a dunce but I can't find it :/

Cheers,
Paul.
