Hello everyone! The problem is: PortableApps platform and soft for it are installed but after the installation not started. What to do?

Hi everyone

Installing/using Portableapps menu on my pc I have the following issue:

- at some moment, maybe after going to 'options', my desktop icons disappear
- some kind of unwanted (more or less blank) window appear

Could it be an incompatibility with Stardock Fences that I am using ?

Any help welcome

Hey gang. I'm considering implementing a new feature into the app launchers and wanted to get feedback and suggestions. The idea is to let the individual app launchers be able to check for updates of their apps independently of the PortableApps.com Platform. This would be designed for folks that use the apps outside the platform and would automatically be disabled when the launcher is used in conjunction with the platform.

i have to day upgraded my portable app menu from 1.6 to 14.4.3 (ya, i know)
but now i notice i cant scroll anymore in the aps, i have 30+ apps installed but only the 1st 19 are shown.
any sugestion ?

What is the MINIMUM storage capacity to install Portable Apps on a USB Flash drive?

I tried to submit a request for a new app over at the Request Apps thread, but my comment was flagged as spam.

Can't download - file not found (404).

Is there a way to disable the subject when replying to messages on the forum?

I understand the purpose of it when you're creating a topic but it doesn't seem to serve a purpose for replies and I constantly find myself ( a ) having to make something up when replying or (b) forgetting to put something in the subject and having to edit the reply because it just grabs the first few words of the reply and puts it in the subject.

I notice that when I open an Internet link from my e-mail programs, Chrome PA opens them in an extra window. How do I get these links to open in the same PA Window...as in the Google Chrome non PA?

I've developed an open source note-taking app, which currently needs to be installed but since it only reads and writes from its own profile directory it would be easy to make it portable. As a PortableApps user myself I wouldn't mind doing the extra work to package it.

I'm wondering though what are the criteria to get an app accepted here? Basically before doing the work of making it portable and packaging it, is there any way to know if it's going to be accepted?
