PortableApps.com Platform

I am eager for the new file associations feature.

There have have been several portable apps [or semi-portable] to handle file associations. Nearly all of them only handle the default [double-click] association.

I am hoping v12 is taking after 'PortableFileAssociator 2.2.1.8', as double-click alone won't help me.

So can anyone know the details on v12's file associations?

Hello.

After installing Platform 12.0 Beta 1, when I would "Check For Updates", I would get an error window that would pop up saying...

"Unable to connect to PortableApps.com to retrieve portable apps. Please try again later. [ URL Parts Error ]"

I'm not positive if I was getting this error every time I would check for updates after installing 12.0 Beta 1, but I know I have got this error every time I have tried checking for updates the last 10+ times I have tried.

Hi,
Is it possible to automatically run an application when you exit/close the PortableApps menu?
What I would like to do is to automatically dismount a TrueCrypt drive when I close the menu, either using the eject button or the close button at the bottom of the menu.
regards,
Michiel

_To replicate the problem do the following:_
1. Start PortableApps.com Platform
2. Click Options (or open another "child window" like the About-splash).
3. Click on something else (e.g. the Windows desktop)

This loss of focus causes PortableApps.com Platform to minimize along with its "child window". After this I can't restore it.

I'm running version 11.2 as Admin under Windows 7 (6.1) [Build: 7601].

I use PA as a way to always "bring my own computer with me", regardless of what computer I'm sitting in front of. As long as I have my phone, I can just jack it in and have all my software neatly available.

Now, to have "my computer" with me, it would be nice to also be able to save web links in PA, preferably in the form of some kind of (multi-level) menu, much like the one that pops up when you click Apps, probably best located among the various document type buttons. Clicking in the menu would launch a browser with the URL.

Good day.
What about a scheduled backup option with encryption ?

Thanks.

Hi !
I was wondering about the possibility to personalize the directories and links in the main menu of PA platform :

Actually, to do this, i need an external program called "Direct folders pro".
Why use another software, when we can directly place our preferred links to files and folders in P.A ?

Thanks.

I've been using PA for a while and it just keeps getting better, thanks guys.

One feature I've been wishing for though is to have the menu pop up in the proper corner. For example, I keep my Taskbar along the left side of the screen (every vertical pixel is precious), which puts the tray in the lower-left corner, but the PA menu still pops up in the lower right, on the opposite side of the screen. Same problem with the taskbar along the top, where PA should be at the top-right corner.

I have been unable to get Portable Apps to work more than once. I install it on a flash drive (3 different ones so far) and everything works fine until I eject it and plug it back in. Then I either get "The Portableappsplatform.exe is not a valid Portableapps program" or "the version of this file is not compatiable with the version of Windows you're running. Check to see if you need an x86(32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version...

Unfortunately, I have searched in vain for the program PicPick in the platform via Apps-> Get more Apps ... -> Recently Updated. Also about the link http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/ I could not find the program PicPick. Is there a special reason for this disappearing of PicPick?
