PortableApps.com Platform

One of the reasons I use Portableapps at work is to bypass the typical limitations imposed on me by my company (Web filtering, no administrator rights, etc.). I just installed upgraded to Portableapps 10.0 platform and my company's web filter is blocking Portableapps from getting to the server to check for updates and get new apps.

I would like to see the platform support web proxies (like Firefox does). Firefox is the primary browser I use for internet access.

I truly LOVE the new platform. Good job, guys!

The PortableApps Platform gives the folders Documents and PortableApps special qualities that make them differ from any other folder you create yourself on a flash drive. These special qualities can cause problems for other portable programs, e.g. PocketSearch (see my post https://portableapps.com/node/29630), which is a handy program to index and search the content of your flash drive. The folders Documents and PortableApps are invisible for PocketSearch.

If I move the folders Music, Pictures, Videos out of the folder Documents so that they are at the same level as Documents, I cannot open these folders any more in the PortableApps start menu when I click on the folder symbols for Music, Pictures, Videos on the right side.
Could you please add a function that allows to show the start menu where these folders were moved?

The latest release of PortableApps platform interface/menu still is inaccessible to a screen reader. I am using NVDA and System Access respectively. I thought that the latest release would be a screen-reader-friendly; however, I do not find it so in my experience. I sincerely hope it will be addressed as soonest possible.

I had to install portableapps on a new flashdrive, and when it finished loading the program started up. There were no apps in the menu area.
What did I do wrong?
Also when I came to portableapps.com I did not see any options on which version I wanted, whether it being the basic or the suite.
Please advise me on what to do...
Thank you,
Charles
I really do like the older portableapps program. It has saved my bacon in the past; I hope the new version will be albe to also. Ha!

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 .
