General Discussion

Hey everyone,

I've only been using this program for a few days, and I have been downloading many apps to test, I've found a handful that I'm happy with and will use regularly, but.. I have a list of about 25 programs now, and I don't need the others. I have limited space on my flash drive and I was hoping that there is a way to uninstall items? So I can make it easier for myself to locate what I'm needing.

Thanks in advance,

I am thinking of adopting Ceedo as my preferred 'portable environment'.

Alas, when I downloaded the latest version of Ceedo Personal, everything was fine although I kept getting what looked like an internet access everytime I changed something in the Ceedo Options tab. I thought that strange and the Ceedo forum said it was a known bug that would be fixed in their next release.

alright, dunno much about makin apps honestly, only that everything has to be localized to the drive in referance to the folder, not a drive number or anything... so, my best bet is to ask-

this is about the Nintendo Wii, so fair warning about the potential stupidity of the question ^.^;;

In some forum posts I've seen here, it seems that some people overlook the value of having a portable version of an app that you only run from the hard drive. So far, I haven't run any portable app from a USB stick, only from the hard drive. I prefer portable apps because of

- They don't slow down the computer by insisting on loading on startup.

- They don't contribute to WinRot or Registry Rot.

Like a lot of people still waiting for categories. Has been talked about for a while. Any ETA on this feature? It seems the aim of the game getting "more apps" with that pretty little PAF extension rather than improvements to the platform. the proof of this being look at how many new apps come out compared to platform updates & betas.

Excuse my anger but the categories carrot has been dangled in front of our faces for quite a while and has not happend & last time I asked in a post it was ignored.

I am looking for a way to create instructions that pop up automatically when you pop in a usb thumb drive. I would like to display images in windows explorer, if at all possible. I am unsure whether custom icons is the way to do this, or if there is a way to inject html or alter the visuals of windows explorer into something more friendly to create a more intuitive experience for users of my little usb device.

Can anyone tell how to set this up for portable apps. Have heard that Ketarin can do the job, and perhaps also Filehippo, but how?
Thanks.

Can you however convert .u3p files to .paf or to.exe?

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section or has been asked before but I have searched the forum and can't find the answer.

I have recently bought a new flash drive with a write protect switch.I am now using this drive for my portable apps.The problem I have is that when I try to close the menu I get a message saying :-
"Unable to write to F:\PortableApps\PortableApps.Com\Data\PortableAppsMenu.ini"

I can only close the menu if I unlock the drive or pull the drive from the USB socket.

Currently, the version-numbers for all the programs that are part of portable-apps
are only shown on their respective download-pages, and those of the last few updates in the news-sidebar.

It would be useful to have a summary-page showing the version-numbers
(and the date of the last update) for all programs, e.g. as a table.
