Suggestion for GUI/Bug

Submitted by stepnet on November 27, 2006 - 12:37am

Hey guys, love the project - have been trialling a few options (such as U3) - and I'm hoping Portable Apps Menu will be the winner.!!

On a different note, I recently installed the 1.01 patch, since the icon in windows explorer was showing the version as 1.0.0.0. After applying the patch the version is still showing as 1.0.0.0. (I realise if I actually navigate toe the PortableAppsMenu folder it shows the right version, but a new non-tech user would never look that far)

Could I suggest adding the version number for the suite somewhere obvious in the gui - or at least in the options an "about" dialogue?

Creating Shortcuts / Batch Scripts

Submitted by eegreg on November 27, 2006 - 12:19am

If I put KeePass.exe in \PortableApps\KeePass it will show up on the menu, but I would like to pass it parameters. I created a batch file for this:

START KeePass.exe .\Data\Database.kdb -keyfile:.\Data\pwsafe.key

I tried creating a shortcut KeePass.exe to the batch file, but that did not work.

Is there a way that I can start this batch file from the start menu or otherwise accomplish pass these parameters from the start menu?

Keepass is running perfectly otherwise- should be easy to turn into an official portable app

Thanks,
Greg

Looking for good portable HTML editor (No, not NVU)

Submitted by pwright2 on November 26, 2006 - 5:22pm

I'd like to find a portable HTML editor at least as capable as Coffee Free or 1st Page 2000. Syntax highlighting, HTML help, built-in preview plus call up preview in specified browsers, multi-file search and replace. WYSIWYG editing not required. CSS awareness required.

I don't like NVU. It makes changes in my code without telling me and doesn't seem to deal with local relative address links well.

Securing files/folders?

Submitted by uapyro on November 26, 2006 - 1:59pm

I've seen a few apps, but didn't like them. I would like one that I can use to secure a folder of an app, but that lets me password protect the folder and any files.
I've seen some that will let you do the same, but you have to decrypt and re-encrypt them every time you want to use them, and then have them secure again. There anything like I'm looking for? Most preferably a portable app, but if there isn't, anything would work for now.

Antivirus

Somebody knows some portable antivirus in addition to clamwin, as they can recommend.

Auto Run PAM

Submitted by Redneck on November 26, 2006 - 10:30am

I'm trying to get my Portable Apps Manager (PAM) to auto run on insertion.
I've created an autorun.inf and all instructions I've inserted are working except the one for PAM. Any Ideas an what I'd doing wrong? Here's the file I've created:
[autorun]
open=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
action=StartPortableApps
icon=Documents\USB.ico

How do you make an app portable?

Submitted by teqnilogik on November 26, 2006 - 10:17am

I am wondering what modifications are made to applications in order to make them portable. I know that for a lot of apps all that is required is to just copy their program files over to a flash drive and they'll run as long as they don't rely too much on the registry. I am just curious how apps on PortableApps.com are modified to make them portable. What changes are made to the programming code, etc?
