PortableApps.com Platform

I know this probably goes against the grain, but I was wondering if there's a way to put an absolute path in the ini file used by various portable apps. I've tried this with 2 programs (Thunderbird & OpenOffice) and in both cases it seems that absolute paths are not honored.

For example, in OpenOfficePortable.ini I've tried every variation I can think of for this line:

SettingsDirectory=d:\OpenOffice\Settings

Hello all,

I've seen some funny behavior on a computer I use PortableApps on. Trend Micro OfficeScan, following (presumably) an update, now goes bat **** crazy on Autorun.inf (Windows XP machine, but it got the KB update that disabled autorun on rewritable removable devices, so it normally doesn't use autorun.inf anyway, except to show the device name/icon in My Computer (which, ironically, still do show up). It does this every time the drive is connected. Can't even delete autorun.inf to make it not do that, at least until I can get it home.

Hi guys, first time on the forum!

An idea about cleaning up the PA.c Platform GUI with folders allowing the user to multiple apps into a folder to sort them out. For example, the open office suite downloads all the apps and places each one on the list of the GUI and takes a lot of room up. Could folders be sorted out to tidy it up?

Thanks guys,

I've noticed over the past few months that the updater frequently can't complete downloads, and hangs somewhere around 2-16kB short of completing the file transfer.

For instance, the past few days, the updater has been telling me a new version of PeaZip Portable is available, yet the updater consistently stops making any progress at 7136/7139 kB.

Hi, Now I'm using a lot of portable apps.
I downloaded them and the platform from an other website. with that platform you can download and install all portable applications (that there are on the website) automatically at one time. i prefer your site but I continue to use their one for this feature. I wanted to know if you you can do the same thing here . otherwise can you add this feature???
Please tell me

Hey there I have programs on separate drives, one is old using the 1_6 platform one is the newer platform, so when I update to a new version of the programs on the 1_6 platform, will the programs become incompatible at some point ? I mean is there something on each programs page that says whether it only works with platform 2 or 1.6 anything like this I should be aware of ?

Hi guys I have just downloaded and installed a flash plugin for firefox portable and it doesn't seem to solve my problem...Well here's is the problem: At the university I cannot seem to access acrobat.com at all since the machines keep saying I need the latest version of Flash so i can create and share pdf files...How do reslove this problem

First of all, does the 'device can be safely removed' notification always come up when it should do, with USB flash drives, when the menu Eject button is used? As I often use a cloud synced folder for PA, I am not completely sure if it does.

Now, this Eject button seems to execute a .exe file to do its stuff. I was wondering if it was possible to get it to run a script instead. I have some other non-PA portable apps, like eXpresso, which I would like it to close as well.

In addition to "Category" feature, may I ask for four more features that will make PA more manageable?

1> Launch applications by their first letter. (Please click on the link below to see the image)

2> Separator akin to Bookmark feature in Firefox.

3> Menu scroll bar or slider.

4> "Home" and "End" keys: Home will take you to the top of the manu and the End to the bottom.

I checked for update and I found "Minefield 4 beta 13 pre 10 mb" update. Then I press Next. The message shows 'connecting' but nothing happens and I get the message
"Download Error: SendRequest error on file ... 4 beta 13 pre english online. paf.exe"

I guess this is the problem of sourcefourge server as I can never download from their automated server but I have to chose Japan server manually.

So, the suit is not helping me at all!
