Temporarily disable automatic app starting

Submitted by jaybz.e on May 25, 2011 - 12:28am

Hi. Is there a way to temporarily disable automatic app starting other than editing the ini and editing the contents of the [AppsAutoStart] section and reverting it afterwards?

I use PortableApps in multiple computers, however, on certain computers, I don't want the apps that are marked as "Start Automatically" to run.

Backup from commandline

Submitted by hirak99 on May 18, 2011 - 3:48am

Hi,
I have migrated almost fully to using portable apps for most of my software, and I use it in my PC.

I wanted to write a backup script to generate automated periodic backup of the data. Is there any way to use the portable apps platform's backup from the commandline?

-------

I will also be happy with a 7zip script, and I almost got one -
7z.exe a -ms=off -mtc=on -up0q0z1 -r PortableAppsData "D:\Programs\PortableApps\*\*\Data"

Problem is that it also backs up any other data folder that might be present with an application (eg. with Inkscape).

NSIS option?

Submitted by plethora on May 15, 2011 - 10:06pm

Hi there,

I posted this here earlier:

https://portableapps.com/node/27599

wanting to know why I could not see my apps (was most confused) so now I'm wondering if there can be an option in the installers to use a defined location in the app directory, providing of course the menu is open.

I believe this would make it very easy to use particularly for non computer-savvy people such as myself.

Cheers

Help, it renamed my drive.

Submitted by GeekInAsia on May 4, 2011 - 10:36pm

Hoping someone can help me out with this as it is a real pain.

Been using standalone portable apps for years, however thought i would try the new platform updater. What a nightmare !!!

It has renamed my USB SSD to "PortableApps.com" and I can't change it back. I have deleted the files for the platform updater and restored a backup to the drive but I still cannot get back to normal.

The drive label is unchanged ( checked via Drive Properties ) so it must have changed something on my system Registry or installed a hidden program maybe.

2.0 Release?

Submitted by GrahamG on May 3, 2011 - 3:20pm

The Easter Weekend has been and gone. I think I read that the release of 2.0 was being deferred until after the Easter Weekend in order to maintain a better release profile.

Just wondered what lead time we should now expect?

No hassle, just trying to stave of my disappointment.

Thanks.
