PortableApps.com Platform

This might not be the right place for this, but...

I've been using PA for several years and have accumulated quite a hodge-podge of portable software on my stick. Some current PA, some really old PA that doesn't show up on the website anymore, and a few non-PA that I just installed alongside so they show up in PAM.

I want to clean house and get rid of old 'stuff' or upgrade it. I'd really like to see if any of the non-PA or off list old PA apps have a new PA version. I don't see an easy way to get PAM to tell me what it found on the stick but can't find a current entry to update to.

First of all, I want to say that the updater, the options dialog and so on are quit accessible to blind users.

Would it be possible to modify the portableApps menu so screenreaders can read the Dialog and programm names?
the Menus are accessible allready.

If you need more help I'll contact you with the developers of NVDA. An opensource screenreader for windows.

Thanks

I feel like PA.c Platform 'Next' Pre-Release 3. Because the interface and hight customizable.That so, I support the auto update feature of PA.c Platform 'Next' Pre-Release 3.
--However, if virus or trojan infected USB it can not run. PA.c Platform 'Next' Pre-Release 3 is the more polished Icon is very great!!!!.
Thanks so so much portableapps.com!

maybe something changed? should i set the path where to search for the apps? new updater doesn't find updates for any app

Just wondering, is there a good reason the updater can't/doesn't work like Ninite? A lot of geeks know about Ninite now, and I think it's reasonable to expect that level of performance from a batch installer, so when the individual installers come up, one at a time... I mean, especially with big stuff like LibreOffice, you really should be able to set it, forget it, and come back to it being done.

Right?

Hi all,

Could someone tell me, please, if it is possible to update the Portable Apps launcher platform, if so, how to do this?

I have two installations - I think one is version 2 and the other version 3.

Many thanks.

I use a common Sandisk thumbdrive. How many insertions do these things last? Is there a preferred thumbdrive make and model? Is Iron Key a good choice with respect to longevity?

Thanks

I am wondering how can I keep my settings for my platform? Every time I turn on my computer and open up my portable apps platform I have to reset my settings the way I want it.

I really love PortableApps, but one thing has always bothered me. On the PortableApps Menu there are a lot of clever names and icons for all the wonderful apps, but who can remember what they all are? Does everyone remember what Juice is? How about Toucan? It would great if a short description would pop up when I hover the mouse over the shortcut. Right now, the folder location pops up, but that is not very useful. Thanks.

I would like to start by saying great job to the PortableApps.com team for the great job done on the pre-releases. I have followed this portable platform for a few years now and it's awesome to see the developments made. Now for the questions/suggestions:
