Hi all,
Just installed PortableApps on my USB-stick. It looks good!
There are some things i couldn't find so quickly, only old topics or it's not clear for me.
- Is it easy to add own portable but paid software? I use the Pro-version of NoteCase and i like to integrate it.
- Can i easily ad a shortcut to the startmenu?
- Is there a searchbar available for the startmenu like the windows-startmenu?
- And, last but not least, how can i quickly register portable programs on a computer?

1) You can create any apps you want portable, but you can't release them for testing unless you follow the guidelines for Portable Apps (basically free and open source, or freeware with permission, or freeware as an online installer)
2) If you package an app properly, then either copy the folder to the PA.c folder or make the installer, it will show up in the PA.c menu automatically
3) Push forward slash then start typing, that's where the search box went to
4) I'm not sure what you mean "register portable programs" but CODYQX4 has a "Start Menu Enumerator" up for testing here and I think that's what you're looking for
Check out the topics under the Development tab above or linked here to see the basics (and in-depths) of packaging an app. Happy trails!
There is a wealth of info on the page dedicated to platform and suite support:

I'm sure you'll get answers to questions you didn't know you had!
