PortableApps.com Platform

I have downloaded platform 10 and had a few problems.
I have been able to update 1 of the browsers then the platform stops working.
I can get to some menu items by right clicking the icon in the lower tray, But not all the menu items work when clicked.
In the end I had to shut down the laptop and reboot.

I've noticed with 10.0.1, I get a crash when PortableApp is running (with a usb drive) and you put the computer into sleep mode. When you come back, PortableApp errors out when you mouse over it or right click the icon to exit. You cannot quit the application and must kill it in task-manager. Windows 7 32bit and 64bit (two different machines).

Under these circumstances, PA used to just unload itself and you'd restart it.

I'll try to grab the error details next time.

Hello,

when the PAP (Portable Apps Plattform) is opened and I start to type any text, then a box character is displayed for the first character.
The second character is displayed normally.

Example: I type "eraser" and I see "raser".

When I delete the box with the backspace key and type an "e" then the "e" is displayed.

In earlier versions of the PAP it worked, this problem is new in 10.0.1.

Hello,

I downloaded "Eraser" and "EraserDrop" via the PAP (Portable Apps Plattform) 10.0.1.
On the web page and on the download window those applications are listed in the category "Security".

After downloading them and going in the PAP to "-> All Portable Apps" they are listed in the category "Utilites".
I would expect them to be at "Security".

I know that I can change the category manually.
This is not the point.
I just ask if the category should be "Security" when the apps are downloaded.

Greetings

I have multiple TrueType Fonts.
But very few of them will load.

For example : A few script fonts will load, but so far no symbol fonts will load.
And yes they are all TrueType (.TTF)

And the path is K:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts .

Hi. In the release your said:

Organize With Folders, Favorites, Type-To-Find Search and More

How to do this? I look all over the platform and don't see anything for this.

Thanks in advance,

This is surely a common problem. I load up my PA.c menu, and am faced with all sorts of trendily-named programs, and can't remember what any of them do. Most of them I installed because they sounded like a good idea when I was looking at a list of all their descriptions, but now I can't remember the difference in Mnemosyme, Tipp10, Daphne, MTR, and Zint.

So, whereas there's a lovely description on portableapps.com, and another when you hit Install A New App from the menu, would it be easy to show these in the mouseover tooltips, or possibly allow users to edit the tooltips?

I've noticed that if you are a fast enough typist, the search in the menu can miss the second key.

Examining things carefully, it appears to have to do with people (like me) that tend to depress the next key before lifting the prior one.

The search seems to react only to keyup events, but the input box for searching needs to see the keydown in order to pay attention to the keyup.

So the timeline goes like this (example of searching for "firefox"):

I got this following error: "Access violation at address 0046204A in module 'PortableAppsPlatform.exe'. Read of address 490260F6." after selecting the option to disable the scrollbar.
And also this error when right click and selecting eject:
"Exception EAccessViolation in module PortableAppsPlatform.exe at 00004EF4.
Access violation at address 00404EF4 in module 'PortableAppsPlatform.exe'. Read of address 0000002A."
Anyone else having the same problems?

No scrollbar appears when listed all applications, and also not the the "old" arrows up and down. Cannot scroll the applications. Scrollbar appears only when folders are shown. I work on Windows XP.
