Development Test Page

Submitted by Devo on April 9, 2009 - 12:00pm

I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice if there was a way to sort by columns. That way the apps could be listed alphabetically, by category, author, or release date. Hopefully it's something minor that wouldn't be a problem to implement. If it is a hassle, don't worry about it.

It's my birthday! :D

*Wow did the forums get a change.... O.o*

Well anyways. Today is April 7th and i'd thought i might tell you all it's my birthday. Smile
I'm going to get my present in 3 days. Hopefully it's an iPod Touch (i hope it is cause my mom holds back gifts due to money... O.o)

Changing the Default FolderIcons Problem

Submitted by channi3 on April 6, 2009 - 11:24am

Hi,, I've tried to customize my portableApps a little by changing the folder icons.

I've replaced all the icons in "USB DRIVE:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\DefaultData\FolderIcons"

But when i re-connected the drive, only the documents icon has changed, the rest (PortableApps, Music, Pictures, Videos) still have the original icons showing, even when I've removed them from the drive.

Is there another copy of the icons that exist in the drive, that they are linked to?

Changing of Titles in the Portable Apps menu

The menu items when on the Portable Apps pull up all say "Portable" after each one but this is totally unnecessary! We are already on the Portable Apps Menu!

What would be better is a minor note that the App is for "activity" such as FTP, Anti-Virus, game, etc. if it is not included in the name already. I appreciate that the app name is given but I do not always remember what it does just from the title.

Cant write registry

Submitted by jsangiorgi on April 4, 2009 - 6:30pm

I tried opening a program off the platform and says "you are not allowed to write the registry, continue anyways?" If i press continue it loads it to a point then closes it out. What can i do to get around this problem or even better fix it?

Fonts for OOo 3

Submitted by Michael36 on April 4, 2009 - 5:01pm

Can anyone tell me quickly, and in a nutshell, where to download and how to add new fonts in Open Office 3... getting bogged down with tech jargon and I figure there must be a simple way to do this...
