After downloading the Patform, and updating it, does it show the programs automatically or what? Why do I have an emply portableapps desktop? How do I get it working?

I *love* my portable apps setup - it has dug me out of the "brown stuff" more often than I care to admit!

However, I have a 16GB flash stick with a *LOT* of portable apps and other usefull tools installed and as a result it cane take 10 seconds for the menu to be accessible after insertion in the USB slot in the fastest machine I have and on several others it can take as long as 30 seconds.

I suspect that this is due to the menu rescanning the apps and updating its contents.

I have an issue that I haven't seen posted anywhere else.

My wife and I both use PortableApps.com platform applications. We use several applications that are specifically configured for our own use (for example, Thunderbird), and we like to keep these separate.

We also both want to use the same software on our home computer, so we use it from our C: drive primarily, and sync the folders to USB drives when we travel out of town, which is very, very often.

I've just updated to the new "PA.c Platform 'Next' Pre-Release 4.1", which I know is a test and is expected to have issues. One issue I've found is an error message that displays upon every platform launch. It reads: "The PortableApps.com Updater must be run from the PortableApps.com Platform. It will not function properly when run directly."

LibreOffice is not appearing in the PortableApps Store. I see OpenOffice but not LibreOffice. Using PA.c Platfrom 'Next' Pre-Release 4.

I just upgraded to the new pre-release of the Platform, pre-release 4, now when I try to close the launcher like i had always did before, using the close "x" icon, it won't close.
I have already closed all my portable apps, but it still will not close. I have to have Windows force close it. I have tried this on two different UFDs (two different brands), but I have the same issue. I am running Windows 7 Pro, no issue with previous releases.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong area, but what I have a question about the PortableApps.com Automatic Updater and the App Store, if you feel it needs to be moved, please feel free!

Hi all! I just got the Windows 8 Developer edition and installed it on my computer. I really like what I am seeing so far and can't wait till the beta.

I ran the "Next" Pre-Release on my external HDD, and it would never let me close the platform or eject because Windows was not letting PA.c write to the USB. Running PA.c in "Administrator Mode" fixed this problem. The only issue I have is letting it run in Admin mode. Just for obvious security reasons.

Can you get the platform to start up as soon as you conect your portable hard drive? Or do you have to go and find it each time?
