PortableApps.com Platform

Hi Guys,

Seems the new installer is quite a robust bit of soft, except for one thing..

..when I use the menu to install a program, when I click on the menu (PAP) after the installer has finished it crashes and sends to MS Error reporting.

This only happens after the installer finishes eg, TB or FF and only while the installer page is still open.

My feeling is it is to do with Vista's "did this program install correctly?" and shows that PAP and its' app's arent in full compliance with MS.

Please, I am Brazilian and I really need help with the installer of version 1.5!
She is completely locking my Pendrive, can not be reopened after being closed, and can not be deleted!
What I do?

Por favor, eu sou brasileiro e preciso muito de ajuda com o instalador da versão 1.5!
Ela está travando completamente o meu pendrive, não pode ser reaberta depois de fechada, e não pode ser apagada!
O que eu faço?

Firstly, let me point out that I'm using English Language version. The internal backup function is not working on 2 seperate devices on which I have PortableApps installed. I've tried typing in a path, I've tried browsing directly to the path, I've tried editing BOTH places where PortableAppsBackup.ini is stored, all to no avail. Any suggestions? Is there anything I can do to assist in solving this problem?

On some PCs with multiple monitors, the rename window will not show properly, leaving you with the menu stuck until you hit enter to close it. I've posted a quick fix that addresses the issue. You can download it here:
https://portableapps.com/downloads/app_extras/platform/quickfix/1.5.2.1/...

You can place this in your X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com folder replacing the one that is already there.

I love the new scrolling feature - one click and one page scrolled. This is a huge improvement. I have exactly two pages worth of portable apps in use and now access to the second part of the list is a single quick click - THANK YOU!

Request - maybe a selection of two or three menu heights, or a the ability to size the menu.

THANK YOU - I love the portable apps.

Why did you bump the version number? I was under the impression the "problem with the suite packages" was related to the downloads, not the app itself. If you're just re-uploading the same build (or at least one with no new code), why would you change the version number?

Or am I misunderstanding?

Greetings all,

Recently I asked question about inability to download 1.5.1 (Platform only)
I combined it with other request. My apology

Since then 1.5.2 was released and again "Platform only" is not available

I found that only "Light Suite" can be downloads from SourceForge.net

I never had any issues with any downloads from the site.
I tried clicking any other Application - no problems, all can be downloaded
Is this known temporary hiccup ?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Somehow I cannot download 1.5.1 I need menu only that link doesn't work.
but say Standard 46MB package can be downloaded.

******Main problem******

I am experiencing some troubles after installation of 1.5 menu.
I am suspecting it despite it sounds weird.

I worked with Some applications from my USB drive and that disconnected it.

Then I found that all my hard drives have their normal icons but drive C has kinda notepad icon ????.

Drive by itself works fine.

In the mouse settings, Windows has an option to specify how many lines to scroll at a time when using the mouse wheel. Any possibility the PAP could respect this setting? Right now it only scrolls one line regardless of the Windows setting.

Hello,

I have found a problem with the eject button feature on PA 1.5. It no longer functions when plugged into my work computer which is Win XP Pro SP2. The eject button simply closes the Portable Apps menu - it makes no attempt to safely remove hardware as it did on the previous version of Portable Apps. However, the eject feature does work on PA 1.5 when plugged into my home computer which is Win XP Home SP3. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue or is aware of a solution.
