General Discussion

is or will there be a way to change path of folder (or add folder paths) in which PortableAppPlatform search which apps are installed and to where they are installed

my problem starts here

i got all my apps in folder c:\programs\all apps here

and i got external settings (shortcuts,paths to audio files,images,icons ETC...) made in that apps and if i move them to other folder i would need to configure all that settings again

im just tired of copying and pasting all apps i want to update to
C:\Programs\Portable Apps Platform\PortableApps

All

Have following suggestions...

After downloading/trying various apps both from here and other similar websites, I've noticed that the term "portable" is not accurate and used 'loosely'. Some, perhaps most, apps are TRULY 'portable' - i.e. can be copied/pasted anywhere and they will run. However, several won't. I suggest listed apps ought to come with qualifiers:...

PORTABLE: to mean TRULY portable, can be copied/pasted anywhere and will run regardless

STATIC: after initial install, app cannot run elsewhere unless re-installed from ~.PAF

lost its gradient; now it's just yellow--pale and flat. Intentional?

I liked it better before.

Please fix this PA peepz since I don't want to have to uninstall just because an update is too big for my internet allowance and I don't use the program(s) very often.

Otherwise, good effort and thanks.

When I want to open, i.e. a .txt with notepad++, have to browser in the PortableApps folder and choose the application. That's OK.

What I don't like is that then, in the contestual menu, I have a long "caption" (is it correct? :puzzled:): "Notepad++ (PortableApps.com Launcher".

Is it possibile to have in contest menu just "Notepad++ Portable", changing a global setting in some ini of portable apps?

I always change a cuple of registry keys, but after an update or something that goes beyond my comprension, that voice returns long as I said before.

Hi

After upgrating from the platfom, the GoogleChromePortable does not start. But the chrome.exe in /App/Chrome-bin/ can be started. But then I lost all my settings and extensions. Can you guys tell me how to fix it? thx

Is it possible to close all running portable apps automatically when clicking the umount or exit button in the Platform launcher menu?

Почму долго загружаются приложения ?

It seems like the latest version of uTorrent leave an entry in the Add/Remove Programs.

Hi!

On Windows 7 Pro. SP1 I log in as a user who is not an administrator in Windows but only a "restricted" user (more precisely, the user is not a member of the local Administrators group but is only a member of the local Users group). Sometimes I need to run an app as another user in Windows, namely as a user who is an administrator on the local machine or an administrator in a Windows domain (in corporate environment). I can't find a way to do it in PortableApps 11.2.
