Multiple instance is always possible?

Submitted by farat_as on March 14, 2013 - 3:40pm

Hi,

I would be happy if somebody can help me with:

1- If I have two copies of portable 7-zip. I can open two independed process for 7-Zip. As I test it they works properly. Is that 100% valid for all portableapps.com applications?

2- Is there any command parameter to start a portable application with different /Data directory. Example:
"D:\PortableApps\7zipPortable\7zip.exe -profile D:\Data2"

Thank you

help with settings

hi
awhile back when you did an update of your portable apps you would
just click update and they where downloaded and installed, now
you click on update and they are downloaded and then you have to
manually click every program to install, my last update had 78
new programs and i had to click on every program at least twice,
how can i change this to do it automatically so when i get back
it is all done, i dont have to site doing a heap of clicks
to install

Create Windows Shortcuts

Submitted by antgiant on March 5, 2013 - 3:31pm

I have created a "Portable App" that will create Windows Shortcuts in a manner that mirrors the menu layout and installs them in a "Portable Apps" folder in your start menu. This App also includes an "Uninstall" routine that will delete the shortcuts. If anyone is interested you can grab it from https://dl.dropbox.com/u/681536/Shortcuts.zip
