PortableApps.com Platform

I would like to be able to use a command line option to close/ kill the PortableAppsPlatform.exe automatically.

I found through a search that PortableAppsPlatform.exe uses a third party eject tool "PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Bin\eject.exe", but found nothing regarding the close but not eject button.

Any thoughts.

PortableAppsPlatform.exe /q /quit /exit /close .... something along those lines.

Hi all,

We have a custom build of firefox that we give to our clients. Today I've been trying to build it with portable firefox 19 (the latest, as of 03/21/13), but functionality that's there with the current release (built with portable firefox 18) is missing with the 19 build.

This is probably best communicated with a screenshot, here's what the build with portable firefox 18 looks like (with nav and ssl buttons outlined in red)

And here's a screenshot of the build with portable ff 19:

I got a new laptop (actually, my first ever - I have always had just a desktop plus a PortableApps-equipped thumb drive for travel), and decided that I like the consolidation of PortableApps enough that even for permanent installation on the new PC's C drive I would install a PortableApps collection instead of standard installations to the Program Files folder. But... How can I set up the default behavior for things like double-clicking files?

every time i open the platform it gives me the warning that it detected changes to the autorun.inf file or something like that and that i should scan it for spyware and viruses if i didnt make the changes and usually that only happens once in a blue moon but for the past few weeks it happens every time i open it and ive scanned my drive for viruses multiple times and checked the drive for errors multiple times but it always comes back with nothing. what might be causing this and do you have any suggestions on how to fix it so it stops happening?

Two things are going wrong here:

1) When the USB-stick is unplugged prematurely, portableapps.exe does not stop itself. Instead it crashes (but remains active).
2) After that, when reinstering the USB-stick and running start.exe, it doesn't start because a ghost portableapps.exe is still running (and consuming 100% CPU!!).

How do I disable update of a specific application? I wish to disable update of utorrent as the new version is adware. It displays advertisements in the main screen & as such is extremely annoying.

Thank You

Implement autostarting apps.

I don't mean to insult, but being twelve versions in, isn't it *about* time that such a mundane feature is to be implemented?

This must have been requested before, but given the nature of the apps, this is more neccesary than one might think. Currently, getting all my apps to exit themselves is a nuisance. Every app has to be exited, and worse than that, I have to exit some apps in a specific order (more on that later).

I say if a menu can start apps, it can exit them. And so can Windows, but since I don't shutdown my pc when I leave it (I use hibernation) nothing is closed by Windows automatically.

I would like it if it were possible to start an app from the menu, after which the menu would *not* hide itself. For example, by holding shift.

This works in Windows XP as well (using the classic start menu). It's very convenient to quickly start a bunch of apps one after another.

Hi,

after selecting "update" and the updater progress window briefly appears, my PortableApps updater closes itself abrubtly and reports the usual dialog that all apps have been updated. However, no such update has taken place and, when I run the updater again, it correctly shows the same updates available as before. The updates have not been applied, as the applications are not up to date, e.g. FirefoxPortable 18.

I have updated from PortableApps.com version 11 to 12b2 without change.
