General Discussion

I just started using the suite. I've noticed that some apps, the latest being Pidgin 2.10.1 does not update. It stays on 2.10.0. The updated program is posted on the site.

Something I'm doing wrong, or does it not update minor updates?

When I select an app from the Portable App Directory and click Next, I see a confirmation that the app was installed and available in the PortableApps.com menu. When I look at the App Platform menu there is nothing listed. What am I doing wrong?

OK. I wasn't checking the check box by the app. It works fine.

There is a Guide how to build portable app from ziro?
how to create nice exe file, with nice icon?
how to create the structure folder and all ini files?
how to create a NSIS script with a common command?
how to create a splash screen?

there is an automatic way to create this things?

i think you need to add to Development section a nice
guide with full details and many images and links that people will create there own portable apps and publish it here.

i am a programmer, and i really want to create many of my program that

Hi,

It is making me stop wanting to use the menu even though I love the update mechanism and find more apps without perusing the website.

P.S. Fonts look good in opera

I tried adding the exe file to the start up folder, but it won't start. Also how do I get it to auto start when I plug in the flash drive? I have windows 7 32. I thought when I had it on another flash drive it did auto start.

Thanks,

What ever happened to switching to a monthly release schedule? There hasn't been a platform update since 10.0.1.

I tried to follow the instruction located at https://portableapps.com/node/30214 after my netbook gave me a BSOD. Here's the problem. The file in question is already gone, but uTorrent still refuses to load. What else can I look for. It was a pretty bad system crash, so...

so this is my first post. i've been all over this portable app scene for years. i have close to 2000 programs in portable format open source and otherwise. while i don't use them all, they are just waiting to be used when the time or task is right. i generally have anywhere from 5-700 programs installed on my system that have a high potential use rate. wish i could upload a dir2html list of them for brainstorming purposes. and the funny thing is i find out every day that there are new and useful programs being released all over the web.

Are there any plans to have a custom tray icon for the platform.

I would like a Black and White one Windows 7 style.

Thanks.
