hello my friends!

you have made an incredible work and thank you so much for that!

however there are some suggestions that could make the app updater more functional ..

- fold/unfold for each category (to be remembered by the platform)
- a global fold/unfold
- a show/hide deta/dev
- an active search box

Keep platform on top

Submitted by m0d on September 21, 2012 - 12:44pm

Is there a way to keep platform on top until you click on something else.

I.E. Open more than one app

Now, when you click on an app, the platform hides immediately.
I would like the option to keep it on top until I actually switch views so that I can open more than one app, clicking on the opened program, like it does automatically anyway(when platform is shown and you click away from it - it hides).

Problem occurring again - Download error on application update or install

Submitted by 1state4christ on September 14, 2012 - 5:08pm

On 10/1/2012, I had edited this post to say that "This no longer appears to be a problem."
However, since then, it has recurred a number of times.

It seems to happen most often with larger downloads.

I tried temporarily turning off my PC's security software before an update, but that didn't help.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

***** Original post (September 14, 2012) *****

For the last week or 2 (or 3?), I have had problems whenever I try to update or install PortableApps applications.

Platform language Environment variables missing?

While testing that I had fixed the language-switching issues for bug # 34451, I discovered that for some reason, the platform's language environment variables are not being set. I verified in a VM with a clean platform install, but I'm wondering if this is maybe a Win7 issue, or just something that's happened and no one has noticed yet...Or is it just some issue with my machine(s).

How can you get your categories to stick?

Submitted by cole_interlog on September 10, 2012 - 3:38pm

I've checked support for this issue, but may have missed seeing it.

I have been using portable apps since version 1, and have current up-to-date apps on a Vista 64-bit home premium laptop.

I have both OpenOffice and LibreOffice installed, but I put LibreOffice in a new category calling it Office2. I did this several months ago, but because I was having issues with LibreOffice and long path name, I renamed the directory this weekend. My Office2 category disappeared, and LibreOffice went back to Office.
