2.0 PR1 Doesn't Save Theme Settings

Submitted by Iislsdum on July 22, 2011 - 11:53pm

After updating to 2.0 PR1, my theme was reset (which was fine, and to be expected). The problem is that when I change it back to a theme that I like, then eject my flash drive, and re-insert it, the theme is again set to default. Is this a known issue? I found the setting from which the theme to be used is read in a .ini file, but wasn't quite sure how to set the theme manually. I hope you guys come up with a fix for this! Thanks in advance!

PortableApps platform doesn't launch automatically from USB memory stick

Submitted by sn1975 on July 22, 2011 - 3:45pm

Hi all,

When I insert the USB memory stick with Portable Apps installed into my USB port, I would like the Portable Apps platform to launch automatically.

As far as I know autorun is enabled and the autorun.ini file is present on the stick so not sure where I am going wrong.

Many thanks.

unable to update apps

Submitted by m_c on July 17, 2011 - 6:45pm

Using 2.0 beta 5, Vista Home Basic 32bit (also tested on XP Pro, Win7 Pro).

If I try to update my apps at least 1 app is listed (firefox 5.0.1). Currently i'm using Firefox 3.6.18, and I don't want to upgrade in the moment.

So today I try to update again and two updates were listed: VLC and Firefox.
I uncheck Firefox and clicked on next. After a while of downloading the updater responds: download error: transfer error on file http://...VLCPortable_1.1.11.paf.exe

Search Button

Not sure if this ?? should go here or Other Apps forum. I have discovered and installed a Search app called UltraSearch from this location http://www.jam-software.com/ultrasearch/
What I want to do is have the Search Button in the PA Menu launch UltraSearch instead of Windows default Search; how can I change that?

This UltraSearch is amazingly faster (I'm not touting; just discovered it); found 7903 records across two drives in 8 seconds, compared to Windows search taking 90 seconds.

Hi,

I'm on Portable.Com 2.0 beta 5 pre 2 and I have thunderbird 3.1.11 installed.
Since I updated to firefox 5.0 I cannot update thunderbird anymore.

I always get this message when I check for update :

"The downloaded copy of Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition is not valid an can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete".

What should I do ? Remove Thunderbird and reinstall ?

Regards,
