Shortcuts

Submitted by PortableDave on December 3, 2010 - 9:26pm

This may sound like a silly question but how can I make shortcuts in my flashdrive to open applications? I know how to make them but they don't work on a different computer once I have made them.

Portable Apps. Off-line. NOT!

FF 3.6.12
FileZilla (to set-up before use that's why)
Notepad++ (OK it is usable after several hits and a very long wait but langs.xml failed without noticeable effect!)

I run FF 2 on a dial-up machine and it tried to connect twice. I removed the first one but left the second in just to verify normality. Which is the clue - along with the insistent Google box.

So - Why? and how to make these apps work off-line on a PC that has never connected.

I made a full desktop app work on a portableapps.com (by accident.)

I was just playing around with my portableapps.com standard installation, when I had decided to see if i could put some of my regular full desktop apps (IE Collection, mozilla firefox collection, as well as the emulator known as MESS, as well as ubuntu windows installer known as Wubi.)on the usb drive and make them work from portableapps.com. so i made folders with the titles of the apps original names, and put the word portable at the end of there name WITHOUT SPACES.

Latest platform

I was wondering what the latest platform is. i cant seem to se anything except a beter version of the new 2.0 platform that came out in july this year. Maybe I have missed something. If so i am sorry for an extra post. can you link me to things so i can be kept up to date.

I like the idea of automatic updates. atm the auto updater is separate from the platform i have and has a different directory structure than the platform so i have to have 2 entries. one in the updater and one in the platform. takes up some extra space on the flashdrive. hence cant have as much storage there.

PortableAppsThemes.webs.com

Hello everybody. Recently I had created a primative themeing engine and along with it a website to go along with my program's name: PortableAppsThemes. However, with the release of PAM 2.0 on the rise, the use of my themeing engine has died. The website is still active though, so it's now open for everybody to share thier themes. Creating a themes is incredibly easy with the PAM Theme Builder, which is still in beta like most other ingenious programs and may never come out of Beta, i fear, also like other ingenious programs.
