PortableApps.com Platform

I think this is a feature modification or, arguably, a bug report, really.

When attempting the download of a bunch of apps, one of which throws an error, the downloader stops and awaits input. There's only one form of input that's possible, which is the inevitable acceptance of failure of that attempt to download that app.

Is it necessary to await this perfunctory input before proceeding? I think a lot of people might, like me, want to specify the apps to download, go (especially if they're on a slow-ish like, like me) for dinner and come back to find most of the apps have arrived.

I have problem that assigning i.e. .odt extension to OpenOfficePortable will work but then it gets sometimes lost. This behaviour is only on newer Versions (Win7/8). XP was working OK. Is it possible that since Win7 some "intelligence" checks if the drive where OpenOfficPortable is stored is available and - if not (like an USB drive) resets the file-type bindings??

Very strange and I can't google anything about it.

Anyone same experience?

It's a bit hard to explain, so I've attached some screenshots.

Occasionally the updater prompts me to update these apps when they don't need to, displaying errors.

Sorry if this is a known issue and threads already exist.

First I want to say thanks to John Haller and the rest of the team for a great product.

Second I would like to say yes I have searched the forum and read the other posts related to this.

Are the any plans when we get Beta 3. Cause it is almost 1 month since the Last Update.

I was wondering has there been any thought given to making a full screen version of portable apps theme so it can be used on devices like a tablet pc. Even with scrolling screens and other gestures. It would be so cool and sure to get some more attention to PA

Cheers Robeee

I have added a category to the menu which I know longer use, I assume the set up info is in a file somewhere but can not find it.

Why are the categories held so I can remove it.

Thanks

Hi folks, I was wondering whether it is possible to use a pendrive with PA installed as a source for a virtual machine in e.g. Virtualbox. Any idea on this? Or even experiences?

Thanks.

I recently noticed some strangeness with the flash drives I use solely at my local library. It was fairly easy to research the reasons for the suddenly-appearing sony.exe file and the .lnk folders at the root level right there along with all the other portableapps folders and exec's, and I've notified them that it looks like their computers are likely infected with the second Kelihos exploit. Fortunately the only other computers they are used with are my Macs so I don't believe there's any serious consequences, but I wanted to at least mention it as a heads-up I guess.
