PortableApps.com Platform

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!

...use the PA Platform 2.0.5 Beta!

I've been a long-time user of PortableApps, but have tended to use them in conjunction with other launchers. Today, I decided to download and install the PA Platform 2.0.5. I liked it.

When grouping categories are available in the menu, that would make the menu navigation easier.

I hope the PA file association module isn't too long in coming. For the time being, I'm using coffee to create the associations and that works perfectly.

Menu space saved for more apps

I noticed the other day that when I added a new Beta of Firefox my menuspace on the portableapps launcher had ran out and some was displayed on page 2 (the arrow on the bottom) which works and the interface looks really nice and minimalistic (which I love) which makes it abit awkward to use.

Here is what it looked like

When I first installed the platform, I decided to delete the music and video folders, then changed my mind and replaced them from the trash. Now the quick link on the platform doesn't work. The *.ini file looks ok.

Anyone know how to fix this without a reinstall? Thanks.

The topic; "Please Add Password Protection to PortableApps", seems to crop up time and
time again. IMO, this is a truly unnecessary feature request since there is a FOSS program
that is specific to this type of functionality and does it very well.

TrueCrypt [http://www.truecrypt.org/] can be used in portability mode and; as such, is well
suited for just such a task.

I use it in conjunction with a partitioned portable hard drive. I use a 160GB USB portable
hard drive for my PortableApps home; of which, I've created a 5GB* unencrypted partition for

Hiya all. It's been a while and I'm on a new account but enought about excuses. It's time for some new PortableApps Menu skins. 2.0 beta 5 is out now so we all have some familliarity with it so I encourge everyone to submit their own skins as well. I'll get the ball started with Hazardous.

I started using PortableApps some time around 2007 I think, but I never really used USB flash drives that much until relatively recently (for work). Now that I have rediscovered PA, I have realised that they can also be used with my synced folder, which I use for all my other portable apps, command line programs, shells, scripts, etc. So I have found just how incredibly useful PortableApps portable apps are.

I have not started making any of my own portable apps, but I am going to start doing so.
