Can I add beta portable apps to the start menu in platform?

Submitted by Bathplug on March 10, 2012 - 5:54am

For example mp3tag.Can that be added to the portable apps platform with the rest of the other portable apps? https://portableapps.com/node/18890

Or can I add any portable app to the platform suite? I prefer it to liberkey but I want to import some apps from liberkey to the portableapps platform that aren't available in the directory.

Thanks

Need for specific/supplementary Antivirus + Anti-Malware + Firewall software on a Flash DriveUSB Stick

As a happy newcomer to PortableApps I wonder whether full real-time protection is ensured by the resident Antivirus + Anti-Malware + Firewall software on the host PC (the one into which the USB Flash drive is connected) assuming of course those are up to date and work properly. If so, I would promptly conclude they are useless on a Flash drive.

Thank you for any confirmation.

is it possible to create working copies of a portable app?

Hello, instead of running portable apps from a removable drive, I am using them from the local disk. When I tried to copy over to another computer, I ran into problems. Specifically, Thunderbird portable didn't work as expected, most of the mail folders showed without any content in them. I am wondering whether it is required that a portable app be always stored in the same physical device.
Thank you

When I select an app from the Portable App Directory and click Next, I see a confirmation that the app was installed and available in the PortableApps.com menu. When I look at the App Platform menu there is nothing listed. What am I doing wrong?

OK. I wasn't checking the check box by the app. It works fine.
