PortableApps.com Platform

Hello!

I want to suggest a option to use a portable file explorer, like FreeCommander or Xenon, instead of Windows Explorer, when you click explore/documents/etc buttons on PortableApps Platform.

[]'s

this is a sub mini icons for the platform

check this screenshot

I do not intend to modify or alter the original files
(backup you original files first!)

go to:
.:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\DefaultData\Themes\Default\menu_icons

all icons involve in the platform resides there.
change it to whatever icons you might like!

one more thing the icon type is "png" not .ico! 24x24

Hi, I'm new here, though I've been using PortableApps for just under a year now. I'm wondering this: is there any way to reroute the folder shortcuts (e.g. My Documents, My Music, etc) to new locations? I'm wondering because I currently have ProtableApps installed on my MP3 player, and would like for the "My Music" link in the menu to direct to "%root%\MUSIC", instead of "%root%\Documents\Music"

Thanks in advance!

P.S.

Stellarium causes permanentely problems:
1) I installed and it said always NO SPACE and I found the information copied the ini file and then the message came "encountered error, must close down".
I really do not understand why portableapps.com recommends such rubbish applic.

Hi,
I post this in "platform" forum because it looks like the issue is not application specific :
- when I update Firefox or Thunderbird with PortableApps Updater, the application language automatically switch to english after installation.
- if I download the french version and run a manual update, the language is french, as expected.
I'm wondering if PortableApps Updater is aware of user language when it downloads updates for firefox and thunderbird.
Any ideas ?

Hi everybody! I would like to solve a doubt!

Can I download the source of portableapps menu, change some code (for my own purpose) compile and use it only in my own USB drive? with no problems about copyright or this stuff?

and is it possible, change the source and compile my version? what compiler do I need?

and what is the language that it is built? I know something about C/C++

Thank you so much, and sorry for my horrible english :S

Is there any way on how to put folder shortcuts in the portable apps menu?

Hi!

I am trying to make TeXnicCenter portable (and make it work with miktex-portable), I have managed to make it start just fine, but since it saves most of the settings to registry I have stumbled upon problems.

The registry key values has directory paths such as:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ToolsCenter\TeXnicCenter\Profiles\LaTeX => PDF]
"LatexPath"="C:\\ProgramCopies\\miktex-portable\\miktex\\bin\\pdflatex.exe"
"BibTexPath"="C:\\ProgramCopies\\miktex-portable\\miktex\\bin\\bibtex.exe"
"MakeIndexPath"="C:\\ProgramCopies\\miktex-portable\\miktex\\bin\\makeindex.exe"
...

Hello, I tried to search out more information on my particular isssues to no avail. I downloaded/installed Portable Apps and must have goofed it up somehow, or still need to do something, or its corrupted by me..? OR need more instruction on operation/functioning. On install, I created a new folder (PORTAPPS) which it all resides in (inside the Virtual Expander file), and the "start portable apps" circled arrow doesn't launch any programs within, it just has a LONG error message can not find: -WW/PORTAPPS blah blah..... (which i could post).

At this time I use one (1) external HDD to run PortableApps. I need to expand the disk space. I have two (2) more external HDD on which I would like to store Media such as Pictures and Music.

Is it possible to use three (3) separate external disk drives, where one contains the primary "PortableApps" menu, and the other two (2) drives contain the Documents and Media?

In other words, can I specify the directory or drive which the PortableApps menu uses as the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos directories?

Thanks in advance,
