What is the status of categories? Seems this has been an ongoing request. Is it in 1.6, or if in 2.0, when is it going to come out?


Controlling PortableApps Launcher without a mouse

Submitted by Sanos on June 25, 2009 - 3:49am

Hello,
is there a way to control (especially launch apps) from the PA launcher?

Today I found myself in a rather unusual situation.. my mouse was borrowed by a college and since we don't have spare mouses I had to work for some time without a pointer device.

I was able to work without it with most programs, one of the exceptions was PAL - while I could open with Win+P, I was not able to select the App I wonted to launch, or launch any app from the menu.


Portable apps Auto Startup

Submitted by mikelevy on June 20, 2009 - 1:14pm

Previously when I connected my memory stick to the USB socket on any PC, the Portable Apps Menu immediately appeared on the screen. Now Portable Apps doesn't start itself. Any suggestions please? - Mike

Adding entries to the PA Menu?

Submitted by DerekMaciel on June 14, 2009 - 6:34pm

So I was wondering if I could add a shortcut/entry to the PA Menu. I want to add #Develop to my flash drive, I edited the configuration file to save settings out of the registry. Using RegShot I found that it adds a couple entries to the registry. The program doesn't rely on these Keys, so I am just going to ignore it (most of the public computers where I live are Deep Frozen, which has a saved state of the computer and then on next start up deletes any changes from the saved state).


Possible bug: Installer corrupts USB drive (XP Pro)

Submitted by tniemi on June 14, 2009 - 6:44am

Hello,

Has anyone noticed this problem? Install PortableApps.com Suite Standard (Version 1.5.2) to a cleanly formatted 8 Gb USB drive. (Let's call it drive G:) After installing, run:

chkdsk G:

And it will tell that the drive contains errors, and will suggest running chkdsk with /F option to fix them.
