Updater Issue

Submitted by RTurbay on November 27, 2012 - 1:14pm

Hi,

I always install my portable apps in a directory without the word "portable", because I think it's useless, once they're all in the PortableApps folder. So, inside the "PortableApps" folder, instead of install, for example, my Firefox portable at FirefoxPortable dir, I install it at Firefox dir, but i've realized that when the word "Portable" is suppressed, the updater can't find any new version. If I rename the dir to FirefoxPortable, the updater works fine.

App Category not Sticking

Submitted by Thilobu on November 18, 2012 - 1:17pm

I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but search turned up nothing, so...

I have a portable game that refuses to stay in the Games category. Every time I refresh the menu, update any apps, or even plug the USB drive in and turn the menu on, it defaults to the Other category.

I understand this isn't very important; it's just an annoyance and I was hoping someone could help me.

request: auto-scroll upon category expand

Submitted by Kevin.York on November 14, 2012 - 10:20am

In regard to PortableApps Platform scrolling, I see two (tiny) problems:

  1. Upon expanding a category, it should try to auto-scroll the menu to display as much of the category's contents as possible.
  2. Clicking in scrollbar area, causes the menu to scroll-up-one-line or scroll-down-one-line.
    ...it should do a PAGE-UP or PAGE-DOWN.

P.S. ...can't wait for v12!

Pre-selected apps in the PA downloader?

Submitted by zoc on November 12, 2012 - 5:02am

Right now, when the PA downloader is started (Menu -> Get More Apps), all apps in the list are unchecked. I'm looking for a way to start with a list where I can configure it to automatically check apps of my choice.

Is there any way to accomplish this with the current downloader?

If not, would you consider adding such a feature?

Unable to run apps from menu

Submitted by k.372 on November 7, 2012 - 7:56pm

Hi,

After having to send my laptop to be repaired, I dug out my old PortableApps USB drive so that I can use whatever Windows PC that I have available to me.

I haven|t used my old PortableApps drive for a couple of years or so, but had never experienced any problems with it.

Now however, on the first PC that I plug my drive into, I am unable to launch any of my apps from the start menu. I can access my folders, and files from the PortableApps menu (but the back and several of the "Manage Apps" options also don't work).
