PortableApps.com Platform

Changing the platform theme could alter the color of the Portable Apps icon that is used in the taskbar and/or the system tray. For example, changing to a green theme could make the icon tinted green; a light theme could leave the arrow lightly colored where a dark theme could make the arrow dark.

This could make it easier when there is more than one PA.c platforms running, perhaps one locally and one from USB. The user could have the default theme on the local install and a blue theme on the USB. It would be easy to tell them apart, even when they are hidden.

Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed.~~

the above is now the message I am getting when trying to open my Carbide as of 2 days ago. No problems prior since purchase in Dec 2013. It is showing as Unknown Device in Device Mgr but not showing in Windows Explorer. I have data on it that I must be able to access so returning it under the warranty for a replacement is not an option. why would this suddenly be happening and what is the possible solution?

Hi,

i use portable apps on multiple locations via cloud sync. The problem is that one location is a multiple monitor setup.

If i move windows to the secondary monitor and close portable apps, this change gets synced with all other settings. This effectively means that now some programs are "invisible" on the none existing secondary monitor on some of my other work places.

Is there a way to resolve this from portable app's? Atm i need to use UltraMon + hotkey to move those windows back.

thx
Andy

Hi John,

I am a little bit confused about the app launching process.
So this is what I did so far.

According to the documentation I created an application folder AppName for my app. In this I put my AppName.exe. After that I created sub folders App\AppInfo and App\AppName.
In the folder App\AppInfo I created a file appinfo.ini holding the settings for the appearance in the platform and the appicon.ico file.
In the folder App\AppName I simply put the file AppName.exe.
Now I created a folder App\AppInfo\Launch and there I created a file AppName.ini. This contains

Dear Portableapps Community,

First of all I would like to say that I really like Portableapps and use most apps on a daily base.

The only issue which I have is that I can't pin apps to my taskbar, I understand that a loader is used for each app so it are actually two different binary files.

I found also this tutorial:
https://portableapps.com/node/31515

It creates the shortcut but I CAN'T move it to the taskbar it shows a red icon (Cause its a external drive?), I created a pin with the app "TaskBarPinner" but in the end I get the same result as with a general shortcut:

Hi John,

I have a liitle question.

To launch a portable app requiring java I created an exe file that lauches the app using jPortableLauncher. If I copy the exe to the main app folder under the PortableApps folder it gets recognized by the platform and can be started properly.

To improve the app structure I would appreciate to locate the exe file in a sub folder like app\launcher\exe because it is not part of the initial application and my exe file will be effected by an later update if I keep it in the main folder.

Firefox and Thunderbird can both access the web from my external USB hard disk.
FileZilla, Quite RSS, GreatNews, Opera and Skype all fail. If I run Skype from the internal hard disk it works fine. I uninstalled Skype and installed a new version. No change.
Does anyone have an idea as to where I should start looking please?
If I have posted in the wrong forum, please advise where I should ask.
