Is PortableApps Menu Unstable?

Submitted by fellipeh on June 26, 2008 - 3:05pm

Hello, first, sorry my poor english, second.. I like PortableApps, and I use a lot, but, in several times, Portable Menu seem to be frozen, when I set mouse up the tray icon. show me the hint, but, when I click or double-click to show me a menu, nothing appears, To work and get the menu, I made this: Kill app in Task Manager and run again.

My question is, its normal? Whats is my problem in PortableApps?

My Autostart file got over written. How can I recreate without reinstall?

Submitted by JRSofty on June 26, 2008 - 3:10am

I wasn't paying attention and put my stick into a computer that apparently had a virus and it overwrote my autostart.inf in my stick which I find to be quite annoying.

Anyway can someone tell me what is suppose to be in the file so that I can recreate it without having to reinstall portable apps menu again?

Not very good security boys.

PS Found virus inside clam portable 0.93 using a clam antivirus scanner... not the 0.93 version. Also found broken link insdie.

And...., the boys that scanned the files that have been blue pilled will get false results.

GIMP_Portable download issue

Submitted by godt on June 23, 2008 - 7:55pm

Everytime I download Gimp_Portable, irrespective of which version or which download source, I get a corrupt file. This, by doing the standard left click on appropriate download button on whichever site. I have tried through different browsers, for whatever effect that might have. Download stalls about 85% complete, then dies. I have downloaded and installed a new PortableApps platform. I have no problems with downloading anything else.

PortableApps.com Affiliate Button

Submitted by HalosGhost on June 23, 2008 - 5:57pm

Hi, I recently started a webpage at http://darf.ianweller.org/~halosghost/ And I wanted to list PortableApps.com as one of my affiliates. So I created an affiliate button. It uses the PAM logo, but all credit goes to you guys, and I'm only using it to give you guys a little more publicity. Stop by, and tell me if it's okay to use. If it isn't, can you guys post an official affiliate button?

I'd like to continue working on the Dev Test page, but I'd also like to share the responsibility with another few users. Lately my free time has been decreasing quickly, and looks to continue to do the same until mid-august. Any help will be appreciated.

John, could you please grant Stevo edit privileges for the page, and possibly one or 2 other users that show interest in maintaining this page?
