Windows 98

Submitted by Controller on December 18, 2010 - 6:09pm

Using the 'eject' feature, the PortableApps tool just quits without even removing the device (nor do programs recieve any removal messages/request)
If I remove the device using Windows, it cannot be removed (seems the PortableApps tool does not support this?)
It's a Windows 95/98/ME Mixture OS, where handling device removal is really easy compared to Windows XP. But as Windows XP is not Win9x compatible, and Win9x does not support all XP features, but I hope this issues will be fixed.
And yes, device removal definitely works on this Win9x OS!

Program Icons

All of my program icons in the left pane are too large (?) and only the upper left quadrant of the icon shows, not the nice full mini icons as pictured on the home page. This makes them hard to identify. Anyone else have this issue or a resolution?

I searched, but found no problem like this. I'm running XP pro SP3 w/ WS monitor @ 1920 x 1080.

Thanks;

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.
