PortableApps.com Platform

Why do I need all PortableApp icons and lots of other files that would never be required if I just work with English? Could not teh download package be made smaller and the installation faster if just the required files are included?

Well, sometimes the unthinkable happens. A USB stick suddenly disconnects due to whatever faulty thing in the chain.

As a result, PA absolutely flips out with every concievable error message that could possibly occur, so it seems. PA needs to be more resillient aginst this sort of thing.

Hello all,

This is my first post, hopefully I'm in the right place.

I am trying to use Inkscape Portable with custom fonts. I read a guide on this site that said fonts can be installed in the 'Fonts' directory (though that may need to be created manually), in the following path:

X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts in a standard platform setup.

So, I copied them to:

C:\Users\username\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts

I was looking at an old themes topic [most of the links in it are dead, ], and it got me thinking:

Would it be possible to have The menu show up in either Win10 or WinXP/98 style, without having to theme the menu [in essence, to make it "themeless" in style]?

Hi !

I run the platform for a year now, but suddenly I get an error message after starting the platform. A dialog with a "red X" titled "PortableApps.com Platform" and saying "The specified file was not found."

How can I find out whats going wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Mate, Berlin

Windows 10 Home 64-bit [Build: 10240]
PortableApps.com Platform 12.1
Installation Path: C:\Users\reinhold\Suites\PortableApps

I wanted to pin my favorite apps to the taskbar:
Firefox
Q-Dir
Notepad++

As it wasn't possible to pin the launchers (e.g PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\NotepadPortable.exe) directly, I created shortcuts to those programs on my desktop and pinned the shortcuts to the taskbar, this worked allright.

What is the best file system to use on a drive for portable apps drive, i have it set for NTFS system, however, i an curios on if there is a better file system that is faster an benefits the portable apps drive ?

I wish there is an option in PortableApps Platform to save *.paf.exe file when installing or updating apps.
Also an option to auto remove old *.paf.exe file when updating.
Thank you for your kind attention.

I'm having trouble updating both Chrome and Skype - it appears that the SonicWALL Gateway AV now considers SourceForge's injected adware worthy of blocking. ("This request is blocked by the SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus Service. Name: InstallCore.A_43 (Adware)")

SF used to be great, but these days...any chance you guys will be switching to less scummy project hosting soon?

Hello,

is there a chance to start "something" when platform is started and ended/ejected?
