PortableApps.com Platform

The updater cannot update itself after downloading, since the updater executable is in use.

After clicking ignore, the update continues, but a new check on updates again shows platform 2.0 pre-release 1.1.

Hi,

is there any way to make the updater update via a (to be authenticated) proxy? When I try to use it, now I only get a proxy error and an empty updater screen in return.

Cheers,

I agree with some previous comments here and there on the site that the menu should have a simple and minimalistic alternative appearance much like pstart/asuite (i really don't like those big "windows start menu" like designs but that's just my personal preference), where you could drag programs to it (again, like pstart) so that you're not "stuck" with the default folder structure. I would gladly use it then, as i would really like to have the automatic updates feature. But for some reason i think you're not going to implement this (think i read you saying it before, not sure).

I recorded this video, don't know if you guys already know this bug.

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!

I tried to update the PortableApps.com Platform from within itself to version 2.0 Pre-Rease, to only run into a complete failure.

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.

Currently, the PortableApps SF Mercurial repository contains:
- PortableApps.com Development Toolkit
- PortableApps.com Installer
- PortableApps.com Launcher
- Toucan
I would love to see the flagship app, the PortableApps Platform, added to this.

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

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.
