Checking for Updates

Submitted by tvme on January 20, 2012 - 2:54pm

Is is possible to stop Platform 10 from checking for updates? I realize it isn't supposed to download without checking but I don't like anything "calling home" without permission.

Wow, Portable Apps have gotten pretty big too. My current version runs on a 2 GIG drive with room to spare and I still have one version operating one a 1 GIG drive. I don't see a "light" version cataloged.

Thanks,
Bob

1st character is a special character

Submitted by fgecme on January 17, 2012 - 9:15am

Due to the many apps I have in my Portable Apps List, I search for a particular app by typing the first few characters. Before v10, all the apps with the same first characters appear. Further typing shortens the list until I see the app I want. In the current platform, the first character always starts with a special character. (¬),(HEX 00AC). I have to delete this character and start typing again to give the name of the app I am searching for.

Suggestion: Magnet-URI's on portableapps.com enabling the platform itself to perform the downloading

G'day,

It would be handy if users could have the flexibility of browsing the portableapps.com website with the convenience and ease of use of having the portable apps platform perform the downloading/installing.

A possible way to achieve this could be the use of Magnet URI links on the download page of applications on the website specifically for users wishing to download and install an application with the platform.

Clicking the magnet link would instruct the web browser to open the requested link with the portable apps platform which would perform the downloading/installation.
