PortableApps.com Platform

PA 2.2.1: I'm trying to hide the task bar icon as desribed in the doco. It doesn't seem to work.

In this case, I am running PA from the HDD not a USB message stick. (C:\PortableApps) on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

I have a shortcut to C:\PortableApps\start.exe 'pinned' to the task bar. When I run it, I end up with 2 PA Icons in the task bar (the pinned shortcut and the running program icon) and another in the tray.

Other than that, I can't find fault with the new platform. Looks great!

I've been using portable apps on a USB drive for years. Only recently did I find out about portableapps as a wrapper.

I really liked the simplicity it offers, and I don't have to navigate through folders, etc. etc.

Only problem I'm having, is that a LOT of the apps I downloaded thru portableapps refuse to run in a 64bit win7 environment.

I have tried running the portableapps exe as well as the individual program exe's run in xp compatibility to no avail.

Please I would like it if on right click it would take me to the file location on the hard disk drive.

thanks

Just wanted to report that in the "Check for updates" window, when it lists which are available to you, if you try to order the list by size it gets ordered alphabetically, like this:

1 MB
10 MB
15 MB
19 MB
150 MB
2 MB
21 MB
3 MB

I believe it should be ordered by the size itself, shouldn't it? Not very useful the way it is...

Att,

I would like to have all the application help files be local, rather than having a local html file with links back to portableapps.com. I often use portableapps when I don't have internet access. Thanks.

I really appreciate all the great work done here. 10/10.

Can someone please let me know steps to upgrade/igrate to PortableApps platform "2.0 Pre-Release 2" from 1.6.1 ?

Does installing PR2 over the 1.6.1 installation will make platform migrated to PR2 ?

Thanks a lot,
Shabeer

Anyone know the source of the 'Document' folder icons?

Not the ones in the App itself, but the ones installed to give the Documents folder and it's children the polished look...

The ones stored in PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\WindowsFolderIcons

I'd like to add a few folders to the documents folder and would like to see if I can't find/create icons that fit the theme.

I did try a google search and the site's search and didn't seem to come up with any relevant info.

Thanks!

Is there a way to set up the Portable Apps launcher to point to a specific (different) location for the Documents, music, and other pre-programmed buttons?

Is it possible to use the backup utility without the zip function.
I want to backup documents from a 160gb drive to a 500gb drive incrementally on a daily basis. (is there a portable "sync toy" type program?)

Hello,

I would like to start a portable app with additional start parameters.
They could be added by a .bat or .lnk file. But these files are not listet as startable programms inside the PorttableApps launcher.

Is it possible to get this changed?

Regards,
Lars
