PortableApps.com Platform

Hi!

Sorry about this post, I must be stupid!

I am trying to add some portable apps to the 2.0 PR2.1 menu but they don't show.
I've installed the menu to x:\test, the directory then contains the following directories and files:

Documents (dir)
PortableApps (dir)
Autorun.inf
Start.exe

[illegal site] have done it, so I thought it would be good for PortableApps too.

Basicly,what I would like is a program/feature of the PortableApps Platform that overwrites the default applications that open by clicking on a file with a certain file extension. It should also run when PortableApps Platform starts and exit when PortableApps Platform closes. Also, you should be able to moderfy what app extensions open with which program.

ex: HTML and URL files open with Mozilla Firefox Portable, TXT, LOG, INI, PHP etc open with Notepad++Portable

Just an idea.

Hi guys I downloaded PA.c Platform 2.0 Pre-Release2 and when click on start it doesn't do anything, so the only way i could start the platform is by going

J:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe

Is just me? BTW im running Windows 7.

Is there a safe way to disable the eject button on the platform?

The PA Platform can swap (switch) the wallpapers and hide the desktop icons in the host system (Where is that check box in the options menu?). Is it possible to replace the hidden icons in the host system with portable apps icons?

I'm running Version 2.0 Pre-Release 2.1 of the Platform on a Toshiba NB205 netbook running Windows XP.

Under Advanced Options I checked the box to "Check for Updates... On Platform Start-up."

I exited the Platform then started it again.

The Platform loads, then minimizes to the System Tray.

Although I know (from checking manually) that no updates are available, nothing indicates that the application has checked for updates.

Whatever is happening, the messages that appear when I manually click "Manage Apps" | "Check for Updates" do not appear with this Options setting.

I have an older XP Home SP3 laptop that I keep around (only 256 mb of RAM) simply so I have something I can do my work on without being powerful enough to run games.

Anyhow, when I ran PA menu 2.0 PR-2, the Updater comes up saying I have zero apps with updates available.

This topic is outdated. The current Updater will prompt for username and password when applicable, but I'll keep this here for archival purposes.

There are many different types of ways used to filter internet connections. This method is used at my public library (they don't block PA.c, but require username and password to use the internet, which is not prompted by the updater) and I'm assuming other places do this too. I'm not sure how this will work with other setups, but feel free to try.

***DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK***

1. Type in Win+R

When I went to look for my calculator this morning (SpeedCrunch Portable) I couldn't locate it in any of the categories or in my favorites. So I clicked on "Manage Apps" | "Get More Apps" but SpeedCrunch didn't appear in the list. So I checked my installation folders, and SpeedCrunch was there.

I haven't checked to see if any of the other apps I have are showing up in the new platform list, but I know for a fact that SpeedCrunch is not.

Has anyone else found this to be a problem?

Hello,

i'm using PA 2.0 Beta 5 Pre 2.
2 or 3 days ago i tried to update my PA.
After checking for updates the PA Updater told me, there is da required Platfor Update (3 MB). After clicking the "next" button the PA Updater trys to connect to the server. Some minutes later the message "Download Error: Send Request Error on file https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/Portable-Apps.com_Platfor..." appears.
