Menu crashes when changing user picture

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on January 3, 2012 - 5:35pm

This has been happening since 2.0 Beta 7 at the earliest, but I figured it would have been picked up in testing, so that's why I didn't report it before now. Anyway, when changing or removing the user icon, the menu starts causing access violations with every action and often crashes completely. I can reproduce this faithfully, every single time. Must be a buffer overflow somewhere or something.

Greetings! I have a problem with update system on PortableApps Platform. I'm using Firefox Portable and update it manually (through browser menu), it's already have last version (9.0.1) and when I start PortableApps Platform it ask me to download an update for FF. How can I fix this mistake?

about the library in the platform

Submitted by luciferlibra on January 2, 2012 - 10:18am

i think it's good to have a library in the platform ! it's really useful !
but now the arrangement of file directory is not very reasonable !
now the root of library is named documents and it contained three files --- music、videos、pictures.
i think it's good to put the file of documents at the same file with other three,for example the file named portablefiles

portablefiles

|-documents

|-music

|-videos

Trendmicro currently flags eject.exe (located inside App\Bin in PortableApps Platform 10.0.1) as spyware

Submitted by antonbrk on January 1, 2012 - 10:07pm

Trendmicro is identifying "eject.exe" in Portableapps Platform (10.0.1) as carrying spyware. None of the 41 other antivirus programs checked by Virustotal.com did so, just TrendMicro.

TrendMicro 9.500.0.1008 2012.01.01 ADW_KRADARE
TrendMicro-HouseCall 9.500.0.1008 2012.01.02 ADW_KRADARE

I searched here under "eject" but did not see any previous posting regarding TrendMicro or ADW KRADARE.

Windows ask to format USB key with PortablesApps!

Submitted by ProgMan on December 26, 2011 - 7:23pm

Yesterday, I installed PortableApps and somes portables applications on a 2 GB USB key. Everything seems to work fine.

Today, when I plug in the USB key, Windows 7 asks to format it.

So, I format it (FAT32), reinstall everything and check it again. Everything worked fine. Then, I remove the USB key using the eject button in PortableApps menu and plug it in again. Once more, Windows asks to format the key.

I checked in Window's Computer Management and find out filesystem changed from FAT32 to RAW.

What's the problem?

Version 10.0.1 upgrade question.

Submitted by Cheeky Kid on December 26, 2011 - 2:46pm

Hi,

I am running PortableApps 10.0.1 and have no idea how I upgraded it, I think it was version 2.0 before. Is this an auto upgrade?

When downloading new versions do you have to uninstall PortableApps or install over the existing program on the USB drive?

I do not recall downloading 10.0.1. Strange.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Auto-update problem/bug when used on a hard drive: It just keeps downloading and re-updating 10.0.1

Submitted by Megafrog on December 22, 2011 - 2:37pm

The subject/title just about says it all. I'm running it on Vista64 on the hard drive (because I hate installing anything I don't have to).

Every time I do the "check for apps" then supposedly "update" 10.0.0 to 10.0.1 as the "required platform update" it asks to close all instances of the PA platform, then click ok.
