Same comfort as with installed programms

Submitted by rinolt on October 30, 2011 - 12:30pm

Hey guys,

I asked my self lately if there is the possibility to get the same comfort which I'm used from installed programms with portable apps . I mean things like catching links, mailto: , open jpeg's or other things.

I tried change the settings in the Control Panel where I can define default programs, but the apps are not listed and i can not add them. I can assign every file extension manually to my portable apps, but thats pretty dump and it's likely i miss some extension...

PocketSearch (file content indexer and search) does not index PortableApps Suite folders

Submitted by dodi on October 28, 2011 - 3:46pm

I am looking for a portable file content indexer and search tool similar to Windows desktop search. I saw older posts discussing Puggle and Wilma in this forum but it seems that there is no such tool that works properly. Index Your Files (www.indexyourfiles.com) was also mentioned, but this one seems to index file names only.

About a week ago I noticed that the login fields are a bit too long. Maybe this can be fixed?
I made sure my Firefox's zoom settings arent set so I think its not my copy of Firefox.

EDIT: I think its me after all as other browsers are fine. I updated my Linux box last week so maybe thats the cause.

Way to create absolute/permanent links to programs on USB drive?

Submitted by prr on October 23, 2011 - 9:16am

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?

Portable Fonts

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.
