Need help getting a java app into the launcher

Submitted by trinsic on January 18, 2016 - 2:46am

is this page up to date https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/topics/java.html
?

I am trying to figure out how to make a java application show up on the launcher. Im going through the example part of the instructions. The instructions talk about a path App\AppInfo\Launcher\JestPortable.ini but I dont see a Launcher directory in: PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\AppInfo am I in the right directory?

Thanks to everyone for supporting this platform

I have been an avid user of single portable apps for about a year or two now. One of the things that is really important to me was being able to run my computer repair business without having to install apps on customers' computers. Latley I have been getting more and more involved in making sure I can run all the apps I need to troubleshoot problems in a more stream lined fashion. Whats funny is I was going though installing individual apps one at at time on my USB stick thinking, I wish portable apps had some kind of laucher that would make this simple.

Best way to remove not used programs?

Submitted by Dirki on January 16, 2016 - 4:45am

I want to remove all of the programs I do not use, respectively I haven't been used / accessed since one year or so. What is the easiest / most effective way to do that? Could I just remove these programs with e. g. a file manager from my drive and may be after let PortApps scan the folder \PortableApps\PortableApps for the programs still available on that drive and actualize its catalog that way? So just remove all of the programs (or just archive them in e.g. a zip file?) to be shown last accessed in 2014?

Issues with Iron portable

Submitted by werty8763 on January 13, 2016 - 6:15pm

I'm using the platform 12.2, and I downloaded Iron portable, and then when I tried to sign in with my google account, nothing happened......
It would put in my username and pass, and then click login, and then it would load for a few seconds and then nothing would happen..... Sad
Is it just me, or does this happen to everyone?
And if it happening to everyone, would someone please look into this and fix it?

A lot of installation windows have become to appear

Submitted by Yanpas on January 13, 2016 - 1:32pm

I've noticed that 1-4 months ago, during software updates a lot of installation windows have become to appear. Most of them consist of "Next, Agree, Install and Close". It is very annoying... What has happened? Maybe it would be better to show all licences in one window and click agree only once? Licences even do appear for opensource software like firefox
