Will realized the possibility of a delayed start applications when you run the platform in turn launches the application, which is marked "Start automatically"? Because while running 5 - 7 applications is a big load on the disk subsystem.

[Closed] Updates in PortableApps.com Platform 12 Beta 2

Submitted by OLLI_S on January 3, 2013 - 4:10am

Hello,

the PortableApps.com Platform 12 Beta 2 reports two updates for my portable apps:
- Crystal Disk Info 5.2.1
- Free Download Manager 3.9.2.1281

If I click on "Next" then nothing happens, I just get the info that all portable apps are updated.
If I then check for updates, I get the updates shown again.

Is this a bug or a beta limitation?

Greetings

Any details on v12's file associations?

Submitted by Kevin.York on December 30, 2012 - 7:33pm

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?

"Unable to connect to PortableApps.com..." Error I started getting with 12.0 Beta 1

Submitted by J0KE on December 28, 2012 - 1:02pm

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.

PortableApps.com disappears but remains running

_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].

Feature request: Links in Portableapps?

Submitted by Troberg on December 19, 2012 - 9:23am

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.

CUSTOM DIRECTORIES and FILE LINKS in main menu ?

Submitted by cybmatrix on December 16, 2012 - 7:59am

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.

request: menu pops up in correct corner

Submitted by Immerman on December 11, 2012 - 8:40pm

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.
