Firstly, I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong place. If I am, please don't eat me.
My problem concerns uTorrent Portable and VLC Portable. One of the main reasons for my using portable applications is that they're supposed to not leave traces on the host PC. However, that is not the case with these two. Now, this is indeed a small problem, but it's still a pain in the arse for me. My problem is that both of these supposably portable applications leave traces on the host computer, as demonstrated here:

Notepad2-mod paste link references to Notepad2.exe instead to Notepad2-modPortable.exe

Submitted by djnavas on December 7, 2012 - 10:36pm

With notepad2-mod 4.2.25 r796, "file - create desktop link" creates a reference to the non portable executable.

Follows link contents:

C:\USB8\PortableApps\Notepad2-modPortable\App\Notepad2-mod\Notepad2.exe -n
"C:\Users\usuario\Google Drive\notas.txt"

Instead, I suposse that should be:

C:\USB8\PortableApps\Notepad2-modPortable\Notepad2-modPortable.exe -n
"C:\Users\usuario\Google Drive\notas.txt"

[Fixed] different failures in Peazip Portable

Submitted by tapsklaps on December 7, 2012 - 10:26pm
  1. Automatic switching of the language in the platform

    Due to missing custom code in the file PeaZipPortable.ini doesn't work the automatic switching of the language in the platform.

  2. False code in the section [FilesMove]

    I have also discovered, that the code in the section [FilesMove] is incorrect. Here is the proper code:

    [FilesMove]
    settings\conf.txt=%PAL:AppDir%\PeaZip\res
    settings\custedit.txt=%PAL:AppDir%\PeaZip\res
    settings\bookmarks.txt=%PAL:AppDir%\PeaZip\res

Technical Details:
- Platform 12.0b1 (doesn't tested with 11.2)
- PicPick 3.2.0
- This happens intalling PicPick anywhere, the difference is when you execute it form the platform menu (you can also install the platform anywhere, it doesn't depends if you install it on your hard drive or on your external drive).

Google Chrome not closing all the way, makes ejecting USB drive a pain

Submitted by teamfatman76 on December 4, 2012 - 11:27am

I am running Chrome 23.0.1271.95, when I click the red X button to close Chrome, the window closes, then I go to eject the USB via the Portable Apps launcher, but it says the drive is currently in use, and to try again later. I wait, try again, same message, repeat, repeat, etc. Unless I go to process manager and end the Chrome process (of which there are several, I am figuring out this is due to the plugins I have in Chrome) then I can eject my drive.
Does anyone know what is going on or how I can fix this?
