PortableApps.com Platform

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:

Is it possible to make a more flatter theme in the next version similar to Windows 8? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8

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).

How can I use the portableApps Installer as a company. What's the price and (if it's not free) how do I have to proceed. I found no information on the website

Hi,

It may be a false positive, but when I try and download PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_10.1.2.exe I get Trojan/Win32.rozena.qek being detected from our PaloAlto firewalls.

Regards,
Chris

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?

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

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).

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.

PA doesn't start when I plug usb thumb drive into PC. Windows dialog comes up asking if I want options like start WM, open folder, etc. BUT NO PA in task tray.

Any ideas? I have the OPTIONS set correctly in PA application.

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in - sorry in advance if I guessed wrong.

I have a file manager and a separate editor that sit nicely under PA - but I need to be able to have the file manager launch the editor.

The problem that I have is that when I launch the editor directly from the PA menu all is well, but if I close it and then launch it from the file manager the launcher throws a warning "The path to (app name) has changed, since it was last started, from to (b). ....."
