PortableApps.com Platform

I accidently ran firefox in the app/ directory and started accumulating bookmarks, passwords etc. in the wrong place because it came up first in Search.

I was wondering if the non-portable executables could be marked hidden, or renamed without the .exe extension or something, so that they could only be invoked by the portable launcher.

established a program to create portabe software - PortableApps.comLauncherGenerator.exe. In the installation folder placed the installation file, which should have been done in a portable version. In this case it was a mail agent. In the same folder found two programs that need to be together with PortableApps.comLauncherGenerator.exe. - NSISPortableANSI_2.46_Rev_2_English.i NSISPortable_2.46_Rev_2_English. In the process of creating a portable software creates a file PortableApps.comLauncher and thus cause errors.

Hi!
I have already some portable apps but they are not in "Portableapps.com" how do i add them to my Portable apps menu?
Actually that portable apps is "Revo uninstaller and IObit Toolbox etc"

Please have the menu appear in ALT + TAB as a regular "app" next update, it would be appreciated because I am using it a lot now and I'm sick of having to go to the notification area all of the time.

Cheers anyway and good (luck) working on the next development phase

I've searched quite a bit, and can't find a start-to-finish tutorial for the launcher. I understand that it's supposed to be simple, but I guess I just don't get it. What am I supposed to be pointing it at? Here's an example. I use Treedbnotes quite a bit, and like the portable version. Now in the interest of full disclosure, I currently use [Illegal platform that has stolen PortableApps.com code, please don't mention it again - mod JTH], but have never been able to get it to work in Wine with Linux. So I plan on switching to 2.0 when it comes out hopefully next week.

If you're using the [CopyLocalFiles] section, once you get past the language selection page, cancelling the installation leaves this file in a folder in the %TEMP% dir.

Years ago, an open-source fork of the PA.c platform showed up. It was called Geek.Menu and held several advantages over the original platform. It included a search bar in the bottom corner, with compatibility with Google, Google Images, Google Maps, and Wikipedia. It did not discriminate between portable apps and packaged executables; if it saw an executable, it listed it as an icon on the menu, with the included option to remove the icon. The menu even allowed users to organize their apps into personalized folders, a very appealing utility. It could also autorun apps upon starting.

As in the title, the corners - normally supposed to be transparent - stay pink (R:255 G:0 B:255). That happens only with the included themes. The Windows7 Example theme from the Beta (4) Topic does not have this issue. Both background images use the same color for transparency (Full Magenta) but the default one appears to use png transparency (for chrome?).
Do they use the same theming engine? The custom theme seems not to be affectable by chrome options, so maybe that is the cause.

My enviroment: XP 32 SP3 Admin, classic theme, Platform 2.0 Beta 5.

When I plug in my usb flash drive, the autoplay menu appears instead of the platform menu. What is the fix for this?

Just curious to know if the platform themes are customizable? If not, are there any plans to make them so? Not sure if it's just old age, but most of the themes on PA 2.0 beta 5 seem pretty dark to me.

The application text descriptions are pretty clear, but the options down the right hand side of the platform menu are quite dark. Any chance these could be changed with a user option?

Thanks.
