I have a general request: because all applications are 32bit apps, is it possible to preview a development for some (or any) 64bit?
I'm particularly interested on graphics and maths apps, but also games could have benefit, isn't?
Many thanks

Portable App Platform - change path of programs location

Submitted by ZeroX4 on February 27, 2013 - 2:22pm

is or will there be a way to change path of folder (or add folder paths) in which PortableAppPlatform search which apps are installed and to where they are installed

my problem starts here

i got all my apps in folder c:\programs\all apps here

and i got external settings (shortcuts,paths to audio files,images,icons ETC...) made in that apps and if i move them to other folder i would need to configure all that settings again

im just tired of copying and pasting all apps i want to update to
C:\Programs\Portable Apps Platform\PortableApps

All

Have following suggestions...

[1]
After downloading/trying various apps both from here and other similar websites, I've noticed that the term "portable" is not accurate and used 'loosely'. Some, perhaps most, apps are TRULY 'portable' - i.e. can be copied/pasted anywhere and they will run. However, several won't. I suggest listed apps ought to come with qualifiers:...

PORTABLE: to mean TRULY portable, can be copied/pasted anywhere and will run regardless

STATIC: after initial install, app cannot run elsewhere unless re-installed from ~.PAF

Open with... app (PortableApps.com Launcher)

Submitted by bloodymary on February 22, 2013 - 11:44am

When I want to open, i.e. a .txt with notepad++, have to browser in the PortableApps folder and choose the application. That's OK.

What I don't like is that then, in the contestual menu, I have a long "caption" (is it correct? :puzzled:): "Notepad++ (PortableApps.com Launcher".

Is it possibile to have in contest menu just "Notepad++ Portable", changing a global setting in some ini of portable apps?

I always change a cuple of registry keys, but after an update or something that goes beyond my comprension, that voice returns long as I said before.
