"Downloads" folder link?

Submitted by Marty8E on May 3, 2013 - 1:32pm

My flash drive has all of the (your) portableapps installed on it that I need + photos / music / videos / documents.

The other thing that I have MASSES of are "downloads" -> stuff to install on PCs -> AV / Firewalls / service packs / openoffice / browsers...

I'd REALLY like a "Downloads" button on the PA menu, rather than "Documents" -> then "Downloads" in Explorer - I'm THAT lazy!!!

Is there a way to create your own folder links already in the PA menu?

Installing the Suite on an External HDD?

We No Speak's picture
Submitted by We No Speak on April 27, 2013 - 11:09am

Hello,

First post and possible duplicate question.

I want to install Portable Apps on a 4tb External HDD - is that recommended (as opposed to a Thumb Drive)?

Two reasons: 1) I want access to a media player that handles FLAC files natively, and 2) would like the application and media files on ONE drive.

If possible to do this, are there any special considerations or install recommendations?

Many thanks in advance,

Rick

Environment variables

Submitted by XSLord on April 27, 2013 - 7:07am

Hi,

I have got a question about ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:

Is it possible to add an environment variable to an (existing) portable app using something as an INI file.

I need to setup such a variable to enable the Pidgin(Portable) to work with the sipe plugin (so it can work with Lync/OCS)!

(please check my post in the Pidgin forum, and please forgive for this "crosspost")

PortableApps not starting from Startup folder

Submitted by Jerom on April 19, 2013 - 6:01pm

Hi,

I installed my PortableApps on my computers hard drive in
D:\PortableApps\ and created a shortcut in my Startup folder referring to Start.exe in D:\PortableApps\.
When running the Start.exe through that shortcut, I get a message like:
Could not find C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe

Do I need to adjust a configuration file or something ?

Regards
