PortableApps.com Platform

Hi.

I've noticed the following bug.
When installing an app, it gives you an option to give a custom name to destination folder. I gave "FirefoxPortable" the name of "[INTERNET]FirefoxPortable", and gave the [INTERNET] prefix to all the apps that go under Internet category. I gave other prefixes to other apps to keep them organised and easier to find also when accessing them from a file browser without neeeding to start the PA platform (which takes to long to load all the apps from my USB stick).

Could it be my flash drive or the computer? But when I try and run either Firefox or chrome the browser is super slow and it freezes. It will say that Shockwave has stopped. Its only a 4 GB, I have a new 32 Gb I will try with a new install of PortableApps.

Thanks,

I was wondering if it's in any way 'unsafe' to keep files here. For example I use Audacity and keep the Lame/FFMPEG files here. But also it's a convenient place to keep other stuff like Sounds for certain apps like KkMenu, as well as Roms and VST collections. Rather than keep them in the Documents folder where they aren't ever really needed to be accessed directly puts them 'in the way.'

Currently I've created a directory called - Common Files - but would rather use the existing one if it's ok to do so.

Thanks

Since I wasn't able to glean an appropriate answer from searching the forums I figured I'd post this. I was wondering what the practical limits were for the total number of apps that menu system will support?

I use a 64 gig stick formatted as exFAT. It has just under 900 separate portable apps stored on it. Occasionally the menu crashes. Sometimes it just freezes, other times it throws exceptions. This doesn't happen a lot, not enough anyway for me to submit a bug, but I was just wondering what the expected limits are.

I am a computer repair tech by trade and I have clients all over the state. Some of them I access their computers remotely. Is there a way to run my portable apps remotely on their computers or would I have to download the software on their computer and delete it when I'm done?

The autostart feature is a usefull thing, but I need an advanced autostart that can start a program, when the PortableApps is run, only on a specific PC.

I want to make a programm autostart only on a specific list of pcs (1 or more), but not on all of the pcs that I use with my usb.

Can this be done? Is there an alternative available (other than the existing autostart)?

Hi everyone
I'm a long time user of this beautiful platform and i never had big problems with it...
In these days i'm experiencing some strange errors i never saw;
2 examples:
1)If i launch the portableapps "Start.exe" i have this error:

If i launch it as administrator it works, but i don't think that's normal...

Dear all,

How can I add a new portable application thas is not in PortableApps fortmat (.paf.exe) ?

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Greets,
Philip

Hi,

In previous versions there used to be a set of apps bundled along with the platform. Is this no longer available? This was very useful to me whenever I wanted to reformat my USB; now I have to manually download each and every app

Thanks in advance

When I run Start.exe after booting into WinPe4 (the latest version of Windows PE, modeled after the Windows 8 platform), the PortableApps interface comes up, but I get the following error panel:

Title: "PortableApps.com Platform"
Body: "Class not registered. ClassID:
(56FDF344-FD6D-11D0-958A-006097C9A090)."

When I close the error panel, PortableApps stays up but seems crippled.
There are no other applications installed, just the PortableApps platform.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
