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!

PA.c Platform Updater vs. Ninite

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?

Flash Drive

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

Request new feature for Menu

Submitted by jhroof on August 12, 2011 - 3:19pm

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.

Suggestions/Questions

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:

PA next. Possible to change/remove the shortcut?

Submitted by mgagnonlv on August 10, 2011 - 9:19pm

Hello,

I know you can't please everyone, but I am amongst those that really liked the windows-alt-space shortcut that existed in PR-5 (?). Ctl-alt-space really interferes with the french hard space which is found at altgr-space on my keyboard (French-canadian ISO).

Is it possible to either:
– make sure that it's truly only ctl-alt-space (i.e. the left keys only) serve for the shortcut...
– have a customizable shortcut...
– or more simply an option to remove the shortcut through a switch in the ini file ?

Currently i use pstart and it auto runs a few programs on start up i would like to be able to do the same
