to be sure its not fault of modifications i made to my folder of PortableApps
i download fresh PortableAppsPlatform
installed it to PAP folder on desktop
and moved all apps you see on my list to PAP\PortableApps
i did not make any changes in PortableAppsPlatform i just launch it after installation and it still says all apps are up to date
I have a general request: because all applications are 32bit apps, is it possible to preview a development for some (or any) 64bit?
I'm particularly interested on graphics and maths apps, but also games could have benefit, isn't?
Many thanks
Piero
is or will there be a way to change path of folder (or add folder paths) in which PortableAppPlatform search which apps are installed and to where they are installed
my problem starts here
i got all my apps in folder c:\programs\all apps here
and i got external settings (shortcuts,paths to audio files,images,icons ETC...) made in that apps and if i move them to other folder i would need to configure all that settings again
im just tired of copying and pasting all apps i want to update to
C:\Programs\Portable Apps Platform\PortableApps
All
Have following suggestions...

After downloading/trying various apps both from here and other similar websites, I've noticed that the term "portable" is not accurate and used 'loosely'. Some, perhaps most, apps are TRULY 'portable' - i.e. can be copied/pasted anywhere and they will run. However, several won't. I suggest listed apps ought to come with qualifiers:...
PORTABLE: to mean TRULY portable, can be copied/pasted anywhere and will run regardless
STATIC: after initial install, app cannot run elsewhere unless re-installed from ~.PAF
lost its gradient; now it's just yellow--pale and flat. Intentional?
I liked it better before.
Please fix this PA peepz since I don't want to have to uninstall just because an update is too big for my internet allowance and I don't use the program(s) very often.
Otherwise, good effort and thanks.
When I want to open, i.e. a .txt with notepad++, have to browser in the PortableApps folder and choose the application. That's OK.
What I don't like is that then, in the contestual menu, I have a long "caption" (is it correct? :puzzled:): "Notepad++ (PortableApps.com Launcher".
Is it possibile to have in contest menu just "Notepad++ Portable", changing a global setting in some ini of portable apps?
I always change a cuple of registry keys, but after an update or something that goes beyond my comprension, that voice returns long as I said before.
Hi
After upgrating from the platfom, the GoogleChromePortable does not start. But the chrome.exe in /App/Chrome-bin/ can be started. But then I lost all my settings and extensions. Can you guys tell me how to fix it? thx
Is it possible to close all running portable apps automatically when clicking the umount or exit button in the Platform launcher menu?
