PortableApps.com Platform

On the menu, if you have many applications, an up and down arrow appears.

Is there any reason this cannot do the same thing as the page buttons do, instead of the up and down arrow keys?

It'd be better so that when you pressed the up/down arrow, it moved up/down a page, rather than 1 item.

Is there any reason why this could/should not be done?

I'd really like to see this.

I think applied the old Winxp patch.
Only started with the menu, then insatlled apps.
It works on WINXP Home.
But the menu does not start and will not manually start
on Win98Se, but I can start 7zip portable manually.
any fix for this ?.

Hi

I have some portable applications - is there a way I can add a shortcut to each one to the PA Menu?

thanks

Hello,

I got Portable Apps 1.1 installed on a 4GB USB key with lots of data. I make a weekly backup of the whole key.
Since my last backup, I cannot more open/use any programm on the key!
Ichecked the backup. There also the programs are lost.

In the backup as well as on the key, the folder ..\ThunderbirdPortable\..\profile\Mail\mail.eco-rah.be is still there but the files are empty. Also the total amount of space used on my key is drastically reduced.
The other data folder are well backuped and usable.

I didn't see any posts concerning this, so if I missed it, my apologies. As far as the PA Menu, would it be possible to get a scroll bar to quickly scroll through your list of programs? I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how difficult that would be, but it would help a lot when you have many portable apps. Thanks you...

Hi all,

I am wondering, is there a way to create folders in the portable apps menu, to group apps together? I have some apps I would like to group, to clear up some space on the menu, like a mozilla folder, and other things. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance,

I had another portable program that I wanted to add to the menu, so i copied its folder into "PortableApps", and started StartPortableApps.exe - and the new program shows up in the menu - but with a bad name, i tried changing the name of the exe file, but the menu keeps using the same name - is there some way to rename what name gets shown in the menu?

Hello,

I have portableapps version 1.1 loaded on a USB Key Drive

It works fine on 3 PCs (2 using XP Pro SP3 and one using Vista Business)

But it crashes on another PC also running XP Pro SP3

I chatted to some very helpful guys on the live chat and they suggested I post here.

They also asked me to do a new download and install which I tried, and also asked me to run some apps without using the menu system, I tried Firefox Portable and Open Office Write and they both worked fine.

All other software on the PC works fine

Does one reckon that shortcuts from any program, say Opera-USB could be put somewhere and recognised by the Portable Apps. platform or otherwise Xenon recognise them?

I'm glad for the vast array of portable applications, some which I never thought would ever be implemented in this way but shortcuts in my view are a must on Windows even though open source doesn't mean windows parse.

My dear friend,

I know you're spending a lot of time reading topics at the PortableApps.com forum. And that you're missing that smart layout when you're finished reading all reaplies twice. So I made a forum theme for your PAM 1.1. Take a look:
