In the new Launcher menu, we see:
Backup
Manage Apps
Options

PortableApp's launcher is designed to launch portable apps, so we know it's all about apps. There is no need for the word '... Apps' appended to 'Manage' anymore than there is for a 'Backup Apps'. "Apps" is a given.

The long-labeled 'Manage Apps' disrupts the interface's balance and logic. 'Manage' aligns with 'Backup' and 'Options'.

I suggest this label be changed to 'Manage' before the official 2.0 release.

For some bizzare reason every once in a while some spammer decides to do a keyboard dump into one of the forums. what is the best way to alert staff that this has happened??

Would anyone be interested to have the menu appear in ALT + TAB?

I tried, PAL, freeUPX, 2 apps i made portable, 7zip. . .
I observed all of them move their data on c:\users\appdata. Even if configured on launcher.ini
[LiveMode]
copyapp=false.
And freeUPX, even running on admin rights, wont work at all, though it run.
This things did'nt happen on WinXP.

when I click search the web from the platform it always open up firefox portable but I also have chrome and opera, how do I change this to either chrome or opera portable?

how can i share my spreadsheets here in portableapps.com

I read today that Microsoft released their own portable virus scanner and wanted to know what you think.
Did anyone test it?
How really portable is it?

Just thought I share it with the community!

Greetings.

1) Is there no way to be sent an email when certain/selected PortApps have been updated?
If not, then I submit that many people would like to be notified when certain/selected PortApps have been updated; so maybe someone could implement that?
2) I also submit that many people would like to be able to see on the main "Applications" page the date of last update instead of having to click each link for certain/selected PortApps to find/see the date of last update!
Many thanks in any case ...

First and foremost you need to decide what you want to replace your U3 software with. there are several programs that can run a file on a different drive, but the one i find is MOST user friendly is an Open Source Program Called u3-Autorun not only is it lightweight it will also let you run ANY program that you want by simply changing the proper line in the u3-autorun.ini that you place on the root of your drive.
