PortableApps.com Platform

When you sign up one of the Portable Device selections is 'iPod or MP3 Player' and the website cays you can use it on an iPod. So just how does one get the Virtual Magnifying Glass onto that iPod. Thanks for any replies (omitting any funny remarks about my technology skills is greatly appreciated) ...

I just installed Portable Apps 10.0.1.0 It installed the "Start" button in the root, then a folder called PortableApps, then within that another folder called portableapps.com then within THAT folders caled Apps, Data,and Other. When I click on Start, the platform comes up, and i working, except there are NO apps listed! All the controls on he platform window work, I just have no apps. And within the Apps folder, the only app folder s 7-zip. I've deleted and reinstalled twice with the same result.

It would be useful if the backup time as well as the date was added to the backup filename.

As it is at the moment it's a bit of a faff to do more than one backup per day, you have to rename the first BU file before you can do a second.

Not sure if the location/path to program's own webpages here on PortableApps are static enough to make this possible. But would be nice if the entries in the App Directory dialog could link to the corresponding portableapps.com pages if you want to know more about a program before downloading it.

Was hoping the new platform would be offering a solution for this (haven't followed the beta and been using a different menu MOD upto now)

What I think is still the biggest PITA is that there's no access to the actual file properties of the programs listed on the menu.

This originates from the fact that program names never indicate whether it is the 32bit or the 64bit version of the same program if it comes with both.

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?

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

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.

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

Hello,

Instead of relying on a third-party app, it would be nice if the eject option (add eject confirmation tick box) would shutdown all apps running from the PortableApps drive.
