PortableApps.com Platform

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!

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:

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
