PortableApps.com Platform

I don't know something wrong where , when I run opera portable(Vol.11.60)on portabbles.com starter ,the opera portable process would not exit after I closed it, but when I run opera portable directly , the process would exit without anything wrong.
I put opera directly(not portable edition) into PortableApps folder , and run it on starter , the same would happen . So I think there is something work wrongly between portable.com starter and opera.

I'm very much enjoying PAP v10.0 with all its bells and whistles. Congrats to the PA.com Team.

Now, as I've experienced problems with previous versions of PAP; Is it now safe to allow PAP to auto-update itself to its next version?

I installed PortableApps Platform 10.0 in C:\Temp\PAS. When I go to Windows Explorer I can see the PortableApps and Documents directories. But when I go to the C:\Temp\PAS directory from the command line all I see is the autorun.inf and start.exe. Why is this?

Running on Windows 7 64-bit.

Hello there. I just came across this awesome project call PortableApps.com. Having downloaded the platform software, i am faced with some difficulties at the installation. After having chosen my root directory as installation directory, i received an error statement saying : " Error opening file for writing : C:\Start.exe". From here, i can't go on. Might somebody help me out ? If i may mention, the software version i have is the Platform 10.0.1
Cheers, mates

to see in the advance tab of the options menu a check box for Hide the desktop icons.

Hello,

I have a new suggestion for the Portable Apps Platform.
In following I write PAP for "Portable Apps Platform".
By the way: I am using the version 10.0.1 of the PAP.

When I start tying (for example "Eras") to find "Eraser", then I get two results ("Eraser" and "EraserDrop").
Here I would like to select the correct entry by using the arrow keys (arrow up and arrow down).

Yes, I had a look at the PortableApps.com Platform Bug Report and Feature Tracker.

Expect this is a no no but worth asking. Can a setting be changed on PA to force it to load when you insert a USB flash drive? The reason I ask is I would like it to load on my Sat Nav on my car which runs through a version of win embedded CE 6 which I have no access to other than by inserting a USB drive?

If you want to have non-PAF apps appear in the menu I know you can move their installed root folder tree into the PortableApps folder.

However that might break some apps. Seems to me that it's just wrong to insist that an app's installed tree is moved.

I have been using portable apps since the beginning of floppy discs and have a well defined apps tree under \Progs: AutoIt3 scripts, Bats, ConApps, WinApps, and MyProjects.

I like to keep things tidy and for me the PortableApps directory should only contain apps obtained from PortableApps.com.

Can you help me as I cannot find the selector in the current version (10.0.1) or perhaps there is a short cut way of switching between the two without using the Windows switch off the desktop right click menu.

In the previous version of the P.A. platform under 'Options' there was a select for hiding/showing the desktop icons.

Looking on the support page I find that it is still part of the listed information and it is still listed in the PortableAppsMenu.ini.

I have a suggestion. I think that it would be a great addition if the portableapps platform allowed the user a couple customizeable folder shortcuts located on the right hand side of the menu in the area where the documents, music, pictures, videos folders are located. That way the user could link to a folder located on their drive for easy access such as a download folder, or any other folder they may use often without having to explore to it.

Like I said, just a suggestion, nothing crucial.

I love all that has been going on with portableapps!
