General Discussion

I'm happy to announce the addition of three new forum moderators here at PortableApps.com. Tim Clark, Patrick Patience (Have Some Patience) and Steve Lamerton will be helping out with postings in the forums and comments on news stories. They join Ryan McCue, Marko Moeller (Marko MLM) and myself.

Please join me in congratulating them and thanking them for agreeing to help us all out.

Regards,
John

Well, it's been asked for, so here's a state of PortableApps.com update. We'll be doing these more often now with input from the other developers on board to keep everybody appraised of where things are at and how things are progressing. I'll break it up into sub topics for easy readability.

An Apology for the Delays

I have Portable Apps installed on a USB External Drive

I have photos in "Images"

When I click on "Images" on the main Portable Apps Menu, however it does not open
the images folder. The same with "Documents"

The only way to access these is by clicking on "Explore"

Can you advise how I access the files by clicking on the relevant icon on the menu please

Thanks

I wanted to take a minute and apologize for the delays in the releases of the platform, the current official app updates and the delay in approving apps for 'official' status done by current moderators (Ryan, in particular) and other developers.

Is it possible to list shortcuts (.lnk files) rather than executables (.exe files) in the PAM? Or is there support for this in some variation (such as the "PAM MOD") ?

I noticed that v 1.1 is still in beta. It's been quite a while since its release. Has is stalled?

Okay for those of you that are more computer savey you all know what it is like to have a friend or family plead for help because their computer is too slow or just not working right. Well in an attempt to make this easier on everyone post what portable software you use to help fix the computer. Please also put a link to where it can be gotten from.

My tool kit includes:

Genreal Cleaning

I'm looking for the geek.menu forum. I searched to no avail. John did mentioned in a November posting that one was available.

Is it illegal to post a link to to a torrent or to make a reference to where to find a portable app? Just wondering, Thanks for the answers
