PortableApps.com Platform

When there is no icon in the Platform's AppIcons folder (X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\AppIcons) for an app (such as RBTray), the updater shifts icons down to fill the space, and icons get placed in front of the wrong apps as a result. See here for what I mean.

Every time I check for updates it says there are updates but when I hit next is closes and says all apps are up to date except they are not. I check them and they have the same version as before and if I do another update check it will show the same apps on the list to be updated.

Any help would be appreciated, for not I have to manually update each app individually till this gets resolved. Thanks.

Just got a BlueScreen updating the PortableApps platform from 10.1.2 to 11.0.1 (I didn't even realise Windows 7 could bluescreen - I haven't seen one of these for years and as an IT manager I install a LOT of software!

I'll start by pointing out that I am primarily a Linux user at home. I study full time and the idea Portable Apps has been a god send for being able to use Open Source apps at school instead of being locked in to the propriety junk they have installed there, and being unable to install alternatives due to the admin. The concept of having all my favourite stuff launchable from a USB is fantastic.

Please, explain me how to install it? How? How can I install it?
How? Please, write short , clear and understandable step-by-step guide.
Why do you think , all will have x:\ path? Why do you think all world will install first time?

Hi there,
I have the following problem with downloading the updates for portable applications with the official updater:

- I get the SendRequest download error every time for every application
- the link that is given in the error message window works just fine when re-typed in the browser (FF and IE)
- the problem has been there for ... well, almost the beginning - the update worked only for a short some time when it was still new in the beta version of the platform, but not in all versions after that (I completely removed the platform and reinstalled, but no improvement)

I sometimes load as many as four USB drives at a time for purposes of backups, upgrades, etc. Horizontal Position evidently has three options, left, center or right and with three options I end up with two menus that are in the same position.

Clearly this is not a big deal and it is a minor thing to move those two. If there is something already in existence that addresses this it would be nice to know.

Infinit loop of try to connect on the website, and witch portableappsupdate.exe

portableappsupdate.exe stay in the taskmanager, even if portableapps is closed.

For the moment to reach portableapps website, i have to go windows 7 x64 safemode with internet.

I try 11.0 beta 1 beta 2, 10.2 stable = same problem.

Even the portableappsupdater try to donload updates, it have made several try to download some update. I have to press cancel button.

Did i am the only one with that problem.

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

Hi,

I am using PortableFileAssociator since years when I started to use PortableApps on my local machine.

I have associate the file types properly. But on Windows 7's file manager (I don't know for other versions of Windows), I have a problem. I will explain directly with an example:
