General Discussion

I have started using portable apps on my USB drive. I have noticed, however, that creating shortcuts to my apps doesn't always give me the results I want, because on my laptop at home, the USB is the E drive. On other computers that I use it on, it is labeled the B drive.

Is there a way to create shortcuts that always point to the app in the folders, regardless of the letter than Windows gives to the USB drive itself?

When I attempt to have Platform 'Next' Pre-Release 4.0 update to version 4.1, I get an error telling me it will not update while the application is running.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

One question about portable fonts:

Can I use subfolders for fonts? (like C:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts\myspecialfont\font.ttf)

And a quick note: I think the paragraph about fonts should be added to the suite support page.

Hi,

Could someone with Win 7 64bit please check to see if Cornice runs on that OS? I have just installed it, and nothing happens when I run it. I can see the PortableApps launcher in Task Manager, I can see it launches the main Cornice executable - but the Cornice executable then immediately closes (presumably followed by the launcher).

If someone else can verify that it works on Win 7 64bit, it must be something on my system that is the problem.

Thanks!

I have now tried twice to install RedNotebook 1.2.0 Rev 2. The installation seems to run (although it takes a long time) and finish successfully but the application never appears on my PortableApps drive. Anyone else have a problem with this?

Hi!

I often use some computers who disallowed running any executable from removable drives, although I can run them fine after copying it to local drive. So I cannot run PortableApps' applications directly from USB drives.

I can copy the PortableApps folder in entirety to local drive and run it there, but then I have to remember to copy the Data folder back before I left. An operation that can also be risky (if the copying interrupted, I may ended up with highly inconsistent Data folder.

Rednotebook seems to freeze up for me when loading. Happening for anyone else?

I load Chrome and it opens full window, but if I load a second instance, it only opens half window and I always need to press maximize window icon.

Any fix or solution?

I want to make my apps portable.So I have tried many softwares to make application portable such as Vmware thinapp,Cameyo,Evalaze and many more.

As a newcomer, I have just installed PortableApps to a USB flash drive together with some of my favourite apps.

When I plug in the drive, Windows 7 thinks it just contains pictures for some reason and only gives me two options: "Import Pictures and Videos" or "Open folder to view files". Is there anything I can change on the drive to force Windows to autorun the Start.exe program?

PS: I did a search on 'autorun' first (of course!), but didn't find anything relevant.
