Catagorized app list

Submitted by Destects on December 16, 2010 - 1:47pm

basically, as usual, the favorited apps apear on top, but my idea is that all other apps be catagorized based on what there catagory is on portableapps.com.......

so the apps would have a {collapsable} header and thus, portable apps are more organized..

(please excuse my errors, im realy tired, and this came to me in a dream.. yes, i dream about computer programming, and arrays >.> ...)

Exit Apps when closing PortableApps.com?

Submitted by schentuu on December 15, 2010 - 7:59am

Hello there!

When i close my PortableApps.com using the X button on the bottom of the menu, the Programm closes itself but leaves all portable apps opened.
When i try to close&eject PortableApps.com with the ^ Button on the bottom of the menu, and still have apps opened, PortableApps close but Windows refuses ejecting my USB device because there are still apps opened.

Is there a way to tell PortableApps.com to close the opened Apps before closing itself?

By using the Search option of this forum i found an old thread from 2007:
-> Eject script (https://portableapps.com/node/7178)

Specify different configuration file at run-time

Submitted by Wizard on December 8, 2010 - 1:55pm

Hi!
I was wondering if there's any way of specifying which .ini file to use at runtime.
I have installed Google Chrome Portable and I'm trying to create different data profile folders for different users who will all use Chrome but not at the same time.
The solution would be to create a shortcut to the launcher for each user which would use a different .ini every time. The problem is that the launcher always uses GoogleChromePortable.ini

Howto remove Music, Pictures, Videos icons

Submitted by taenia solium on December 4, 2010 - 12:25pm

Hello!

I'm new to PortableApps - I've been using it for less than two weeks - and, after browsing/searching the forums, I didn't find the answer to my "problem".

I want to remove the Music, Pictures and Videos icons from the PortableApps menu.

I've deleted these folders from the Documents folder and PortableApps didn't recreated them after restarting, but the icons remain in the PortableApps menu. If I choose one of these icons, PortableApps does nothing.

Not finding apps in subdirectories

Submitted by Everywhere on November 28, 2010 - 3:34pm

Hello,

I have my apps installed in subdirectories for example:

\PortableApps\Internet\FirefoxPortable
\PortableApps\Office\ThunderbirdPortable
etc.

However StartPortableApps.exe can't find them. Is it possible to make StartPortableApps.exe aware of apps in subdirectories? And better yet list them in a sub-menu relating to the directory?

Thanks.

Big issue with backup/restore

Submitted by areiners on November 21, 2010 - 4:00pm

I need help !

I'm using portable apps already a long time.

beside other applications, my complete private email history was on the stick.
Unfortunately the complete Thunderbird directory on the stick got corrupted yesterday.

Ok so I tried to restore my latest backup. The restore from portableapps took the backup file to restore it without reporting an error. Thought everything is fine. But it did not restore the Thunderbird (which I deleted on the stick before because it was corrupt).
