PortableApps.com Platform

hi,

I'm using portableapps platform for many years now, without any blocker errors so far, but since I upgraded to Win 8.1 64-bit (or maybe it is also related to some other change), I can't run some of the apps as non-elevated user. It is also valid for PortableApps platform itself.

see, when I try to run PortableApps platform by double-clicking on Start.exe , I'll get:

when I right-click and choose "as administrator" it runs ok.

One really nice feature would be if the PA menu could integrate with the Windows Start menu, so that items on the host Windows Start menu would appear in PA as well.

Why? Well, mostly to save the hassle of having two menus. This way, I could use only one menu, PA.

Probably, as the Windows menu is not neatly organized (and that's a very polite way of saying that the default organization is a horrible mess), it would be best to just put it under it's own sub-item.

Hi,
I use PortableApps for a while and use the App auto start in several ones but whenever I want to close the platform and remove the pen drive I need to manually close all running apps.

Is there any way to close an App (at least for the ones set to be automatically started) when we close PortableApp "bar"?

Have you consider it? I would say it makes sense to have a configuration for it.

Cheers,
Sam

Using the PortableApps Platform (current version is 11.2) I would like to be able to use the [Apps -> Install a New App] menu to select a file **directory** and have the Platform build a list of the PAF files in that directory into a checkbox list of multiple apps like the one created by the [Apps -> Get More Apps... -> By Title] menu.

Does this feature exist and/or would you consider adding it?

Hi,

I use Foxit Reader Portable a lot, from both, PC and flash drive. The user signature created from file or clipboard always disappears when the app is closed. On new start the signature must be re-created. Can someone help as to how to overcom this problem? Which directory the signature pdf should be placed? Is there any menu item or .ini file string to change to prevent loss of signature from the menu ribbon?
Thanks
Laszlo

I use the PA apps FireBird(FB) and FileZilla(FZ) mostly, and a few other PAs.

I knew the FB and FZ were a bit behind, and wanted to use the PA platform software / manager to mange updates.
But any time I asked it to check if any apps needed updates, always reported that they were all up to date.

My FB PA was at 17.x , the latest release was 24.x ,,, (didn't realize my FB PA was that far behind).

My FZ PS was 3.7.1, latest 3.7.3 ,,,

I don't have the automatic update checker turned on..

I have loaded the portable apps platform in a folder and shared that folder with the rest of the network. It has read write access permissions but its not loading when I access that shared folder. I am getting error: Invalid Floating point operation. The icon loads in the tray but it wont access the programs. I know it says its cloud usable but i wasn't sure if it was shareable.

Hey there,

happy holiday weekend, for those who are from US.

Recently I have encountered a following problem: when I try to lauch portableapps.exe I get this: http://i.1dl.us/HWD.jpg

the machine is running Win7. I can launch the apps going to their respective folders.

any ideas?

thank you in advance

Downloaded 12B2 to see how the platform looked, but couldn't see file associations anywhere. Two questions Are File Associations in this beta release? (b) If they are, how are they activated?

Hi,

I have a question regarding the automatic update feature, when it was introduced I wondered where the install packages were saved and I found they were being saved in the default temporary folder, and deleted after the update was finished.
