PortableApps.com Platform

Just tell him an update for an app he uses every day will be released later this week .... and then 3 months later hwen there is still no update .... his head explodes.

Like everyone else here I congratulate John on some very cool coding. Some of the add-on's being developed make it even cooler. But teasing about release dates and "keeping features a secret" .... hey wait .... isn't that Bill Gates territory?

I would like to see an addition to PAM that would look at the version of the Portable Apps and then go the Portable Apps web site to provide a list of updates, if any that were available. With more apps being developed, this task is getting more time consuming to do manually. I search the forum but did not find anything on this topic.

Hi, just wanted to start off that this is an amazing piece of work. Thank you for this. Of course we could all come up with a huge list of things we would like to see, I will keep this to just a few of the most important items for me.

1) I likes my portable apps I have a bunch. The ability to group the apps on the menu by categories would be amazing.

i want to make so the music, pictures, all those folders, instead of being inside of documents, is in the root directory, because i access them a whole lot it is a big pain to go into the documents folder and then into the folder i need, i tried moving but then when i launch portable apps it makes new empty folders, with those names.

When I use PortableApps, PortableAppsMenu doesn't run under Windows 2000 SP4.
Dr Watson write this error : L'exception générée était c0000025 à l'adresse 7848CC94 (RtlTraceDatabaseEnumerate)

Does PortableAppsMenu run under Windows 2000 ?

I use PortableApps Standard.

Other Portable Apps, like Firefox or Thunderbird run normally.

Thanks.

Is there any way currently to have more than 20 items on the menu in PAM? I've just run up against this limit. I added my 21st app to my drive, and it wouldn't show up in PAM until I got rid of something else (in this case, by renaming the .exe's on a couple of OpenOffice bits I never use).

Thanks.

The PortableApps Menu will currently allow an arbitrary number of instances to start. This means that if I double-click StartPortableApps.exe (I often do this instinctively to show the menu, since I used to do it with PStart whenever it was more convenient than clicking the tray icon). Instead, the menu should check for an existing instance, and if one is found, just tell the existing instance to show the menu.

Under Vista, the Music, Pictures, and Video folders aren't subfolders of Documents, but are instead sister folders. It'd be nice to have the same layout with PortableApps. Perhaps you could make Documents, Music, Pictures, and Video subfolders of the same folder, e.g. "Personal Files". The Vista layout really is superior.

It is a very high-quality product, but it takes forever to release another version.

@John - Any release dates or milestones to accomplish?

*waits*

In the official screenshots of the PortableApps Menu, there are two buttons on the bottom right: Close, and something else (looks like an Eject button). Yet, after installing the menu on my 2GB Sony MicroVault, all I see is the Close button. What's up?
