PortableApps.com Platform

Hello downloaded latest version of software 10.0.1 installed on freshly formatted ext 600 gig drive and will not show any app icon software. I have re-installed twice and clicked on apps icon refresh button. Nothing, alos tried on different machine still no luck. Any ideas?

I don't know if anyone else struggles with this one, but I look at the apps in the apps list, decide what would be useful and download them.

Then sometime later (usually a number of months) looking through my installed apps I see the name of the app, but I've forgotten what it is for, and it's not apparent from the name.

I think it would be tremenously useful if the tool-tip that appears when you hover over the app name could give a description of what it is/does instead of the full path/location on the flash drive.

Since the latest update to the platform, the Start.exe in my USB has been flagged and deleted by my anti-virus.

The message is "Advertising program by Secret-Crush"

This worries me. Has anyone else found this?

is there a way to manually modify the position of the app list. i want to move the app list to a few pixels to the right
Thanks

apps overlap my boarder

In the past I remember that when I installed the PortableApps platform on my USB flash drive, this changed the default icon of the volume to the symbol of PortableApps itself. In Windows, this was due to a "desktop.ini" file.

Since some months, I haven't been able to customize this icon anymore.

Is this normal (maybe due to the new Windows 7)?

I'd like some other opinions.

Hello,

How do I create new categories?

Adding or Removing a Personal Picture on the PortableApps I get an error messages:

Exception EAccessViolation in module PortableAppsPlatform.exe at 00000000.

or

or

what is the cause and how to prevent

Well, I thought I'd report this weirdness.

I downloaded and installed PortableApps.com Platform 10.0 plus 5 portable apps with no problems using Firefox+FlashGot+Free Download Manager.

The next day I downloaded 2 more apps using Chromium (not Chrome) + Free Download Manager. Those two apps would not install. I got the "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction" error each time.

I wiped the USB flash drive and tried again. PortableApps Platform installed OK but not the last two apps (which I tried first).

I just updated to PAP 10.0.1 and I've noticed that typing in the window will type a random symbol in the search box instead of the typed character. Anything typed after that appears as usual.
Is it just my system or is this a bug in the platform? Screenshot: http://imm.io/cJDq

Is there a way, or is it coming, to change the location where application updates are downloaded to? I would like to be able to define the location I want so as to keep copies of the installer programs for each app.

Let's say I could define my updates download location to I:\PortableAppsSuite\PortableApps\PortableApps.com then when I run updates the files would get downloaded here run/installed and the installer would be left in the directory it was downloaded to.
