Not sure if this is the right place for this; if not, please let me know which is the right place.

Why is Bonjour included as an app displayed in the PortableApps menu? What is it for? I think this is new behaviour - or have I inadvertently changed some option somewhere to make it appear (which option, where please)?

I installed the newest version of AIMP portable on my usb drive recently to try it out.  I open the portableapps menu and see that it is listed as an "other" in the menu.  How do I get it to show up in the "music and video" category?  If there is a way of putting the icons and shortcuts in the correct category, please, let me know how this is done.  If this is the wrong forum area, I am sorry about putting it here.

I want to create my own menu for instance with the name MyApp.
Can this be done, and if so how to do this?
Thanx

I'd be more than happy to help out with a donation, but I will not do so using PayPal. Would it be possible to provide alternative payment options?

im running warzone portable app. i open the game and it runs upto the point of selecting a save game or starting any other game. starts to load then freezes and crashes. can anyone help??

I know this is my fault for not having a backup of the files, but I wanted to just warn people to be careful with the PAF installers, as they wipe a folder before they actually install the app, as I have just found out to my cost.

I downloaded the Java Portable installer, and ran it. It detected a PAF thumbdrive in my PC, and wanted to install there. I changed the install path to a folder on my C drive. Stupidly, I told it to install to the root of that folder, and not a new folder (such as Java or similar) that the installer could create inside that folder.

Learning today that Sourceforge has been sold, I thought if that affected their day-to-day work and thus the hosting for us. I think it wont, but I wanted to bring it up here nontheless.

Hey gang. We're debating between doing a longer beta for 11.0 and including all the features we want to or splitting it between an 11.0 and a 12.0 for about the same timeframe to get 1/2 the features out to 'stable' users faster. We're talking about integrated file associations instead of needing an add-on, retention of app installers, customization of platform folders, new automation functionality, search enhancements, speed improvements/app caching, proxy support, app store searching, etc.

Hi, I use portable version of Notepad++. It has "Data" folder which has "Settings" subfolder and which has "plugins" subfolder.
I code in AutoHotkey scripting language, so I use a modified lexer to support AutoHotkey's syntax.
Here is the archive: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3y3wdlkzr2mgpg/AHKExternalLexer-Current.zip?dl=1 with the plugin that should add support of external lexers. If I put this archive's contents to the "settings" folder (so "plugin" folders get merged) - the plugin doesn't get installed.
Why?

Does Notepad++ portable support profiles like Firefox portable does?
