Summary-page with version-numbers for all programs

Submitted by hajo on August 27, 2009 - 4:34pm

Currently, the version-numbers for all the programs that are part of portable-apps
are only shown on their respective download-pages, and those of the last few updates in the news-sidebar.

It would be useful to have a summary-page showing the version-numbers
(and the date of the last update) for all programs, e.g. as a table.

XP bare essential IT lockdown...

Submitted by Maggew on August 27, 2009 - 3:33pm

Hello,

Recently my work computer underwent a new Image Boot Load. The copy of XP is bare essentials!

RIGHT Button Mouse click and window shortcut keys are disabled.
Internet Options disabled
Control Panel and My computer disabled
etc..

Only thing you can really do is access the pre installed programs and the Network Drive and navigate and view the network map set up.

Also, I can log into router as a guest...

The internet works for just about every website...and I know if that's the case there must be a way to ACCESS my USB thumb drive?!?!?

Development of Launchers for Non Free Applications

Submitted by Saij on August 27, 2009 - 3:22am

Hi,

sorry if this was already posted some time ago - didn't find something with Google or the search function (or I'm to dumb to use it).

I would like to make TotalCommander (and some other non free applications - but I will use only TotalCommander in this post as example) portable so I could use it every where I go (yeah I have a license).

flash card

Hi

I just wanted to know that whether portable apps can be used on
flash card such as microSD and others. Using this flash card along with multi card reader in a computer can portable apps work same as on a pen drive.

thanks

Update beta menu

The homepage news says that the menu beta is beta 1, and the post says that the PA updater was left out of Beta 1 (which is correct) and will be in beta 2. The forum beta release is Beta 3, and states that the updater will be in beta 4.

Edit: Removed the MyDefrag/JKDefrag point. (I haven't been on the forums in quite a while, so I forgot to search)

App Icons won't refresh

Submitted by polaris20 on August 21, 2009 - 12:32pm

Hello,

PortableApps is just flatout an amazing tool! One problem I'm having is getting the new icons to show up after I've installed new apps, such as GIMP, Putty, etc. I click on refresh in the settings menu, and nothing happens. Using this on a Win7 64-bit machine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

If I browse manually to the apps, they run perfectly fine.

Thanks in advance!!
