General Discussion

I believe the title gives away the question, but for clarification, how the heck do I get my custom themes onto the new platform?

Don't much like the rearrangement of the PortableApps home page. Having to scroll down to skip past the pitch to get to the latest apps (and having much less space devoted to them) is a pain.

It's about the apps.

I will link to the "All News" page instead.

Good favorites/category combination but why not categories only on the first page as a choice or am I missing something?

Love the updater, however I think it would be nice to have a pause button if possible. Also, will it be possible that you can select new apps this way without going to the website (nice home page btw).

Thanks for the inclusion of "run now" after install, saves my many seconds across multiple workstations.

I think this site should have a +1 button.

How to add +1 button?

FWIW, you can run this in the PortableApps directory to create .ini's with disablesplashscreen set:

for /d %i in (*) do echo [%i] > %i/%i.ini && echo DisableSplashScreen=true >> %i/%i.ini

Of course, if an .ini already exists, it will be overwritten.

Are there any encryption programs to put on USB?

Often it is very helpful for understanding when an issue is also described with pictures. Therefore I would appreciate it if in the future would be a possibility for the direct involvement of screenshots in a post. By this I mean not only the use of a link to an image but the direct display of the image in a post. This could be done for example through the use of an image tag.

Is there a portable spell checking app?

I have done a search but can only find them mentioned within existing apps.

Update: Installers that were outdated and did not run silently as originally indicated in this topic have all been updated. Note that if you close the platform while the updater is running, ALL installers will run non-silently. This topic remains to track other installers that are out of date

We're in the final stretch of development to the new PortableApps.com Platform and we've been having some internal discussions on changing the version of it. 2.0 has been very long in coming and the final version will be quite different from last year's betas. Realistically, we've been conservative with versioning in the past, opting for 1.5 (which probably should have been 2.0), a too-long 2.0 beta which should have just been 3.0 followed by a 4.0 with categories soon after. So, we've been thinking about changing it.

Some options (including some silly ones) are:
