General Discussion

I noticed recently 2 new firefox versions were posted. Is it wise to spend the energy on apps that have auto update to also release the individual updates?

I admit to the dilemma people could think it's an outdated version.

Does anybody got any more geek.menu themes other than the snow, classic, and default? Hey, it' good to know you have a choice. Yes, I searched the topic before posting.

Say you want to install Universal extractor

Download universal extractor.zip from a any mirror.
Create a Directory with any name (eg: universal extractor) in the PortableApps folder.
Now extract the content of this zip file in to into that folder.
In portable apps menu click options and Refresh apps icons.

This can be done with any application on a condition that the directory in which the app is installed or extracted does not have 2 *.exe files. Otherwise both these *.exe files will be viewed in Portable Apps menu.

Is there any way to have a USB access indicator built-in to the tray icon? I have one of those PQI drives that doesn't have an indicator and would like to have one.

So I going to let you choose which one I must take and why you perform that choose.

Ok I know absolutely nothing about NSIS.

I Want to install a theme but I missing a few directory's in PortableAppsmenu.

Following this topic https://portableapps.com/node/4571 I must install the theme in this dir. "PortableAppsMenu\App\DefaultData\Theme directory"

But the only directory in my PortableAppsmenu is an Icon dir so NO \App\DefaultData\Theme directory
