PortableApps.com Platform

A feature I would like to see in the next release of the platform is automatic and/or scheduled backup. I use PortableApps on my USB key, and know that they have a short lifespan, and tend to die within a few months. I think a backup scheduler would be useful to those of us with USB keys. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Seeing as I would want to use Firefox Portable, I would also like to protect the saved passwords in case the flash drive gets lost/stolen.
Is it possible to password protect the PortableApps platform? specifically the PortableApps folder?

Thanks,

Rocky

Today I wanted to update the commonfiles java to the latest version. I had 53 mb free space on my drive and the java folder was about the same size.
I run the installer but it told be I didn't have enough space to install it. I deleted the java folder inside CommonFiles and I had 123 mb free space. The java installer needs 105 mb so now I could install it.

Shouldn't the installer subtract the installed file size correctly when it does its calculations or does that not work with plugins in non-standard places like CommonFiles?

Today I updated 3 of my apps and when I clicked the platform icon in my sys tray (Win XP SP3), it made that "blonk" error sound and the icon disappeared. I restarted it and everything was normal.
The same happened several times during the last months when I uninstalled an app.

I know this is one of those incomplete error reports no dev likes but I cant say anything else.

Is it possible to reorder the portable apps list, add lines or folders so it's better organised?

Hi, folks!

I just absolutely love PortableApps, and am eagerly awaiting the newest 2.0 release (beta or stable) I am currently using the 2.0 Beta 5 Pre 2 release. I have almost all of the PA.c programs installed (though I don't use all of them, I'd like to try them, y'know?), as well as several other natively portable apps.

Within the last few days, the PA platform has stopped reading the .exe files of a handful of non-PA.c apps that it used to read just fine.

Based on John's Happy New Year message, posted of January 1,2011, this should be the week that the 2.0 platform should be released to the public.

"We'll be following that with 1 or 2 more betas and then the 2.0 final release later this month. Yes, you read that right. The 2.0 final release later this month... or within a week thereof... just to be safe. :)"

I can hardly wait.

I am filling up my stick with the new app releases.

There is a nice feature in PortableApps to have an application Start Automatically when PortableApps starts.

I'd like to suggest a related feature: the option to have an automatically started app shutdown on PortableApps exit.

If it helps, I'm specifically thinking about KeyPass Portable. I have it start automatically and go to the system tray. I can always shut it down manually before exiting PortableApps, but it'd be nice to have it stop automatically.

[If this has been discussed before, I apologize. I did a search and didn't find anything.]

I almost gave up on this menu but am looking forward to the new features. Hopefully it won't be too much longer but i do know that when it's done it'll be done right!

I've tried almost every type of portable menu i could find some have better features but only one came close to stability. That was CodySafe. But i prefer PA.com to that

Now for some suggestions, which i understand won't be implemented til some future version!

1. I'd like to see the menu have an option to change to a dockable bar. Like Advanced Launcher, with all it's features.

Ok so I have recently downloaded the 2.0 beta and I was wondering how i add a theme to the themes list that I can choose from
