[Suggestion] Button on the taskbar and not just an icon

Submitted by zero9002 on August 20, 2010 - 12:53pm

The question is quite simple: I use the platform on computers that are "stuck" (probably this is the wrong word, maybe it is "locked") in various ways, and among them are the icons of the taskbar. There is no way the platform also appear on the taskbar as a button? (Sorry for bad English, I use google translator ...:])

How about a new and advace type of Platform?

I've been thinkin', and actually tryin' to daydream a great platform that everybody can be happy to have. Why not try a portable start up menu platform that you can actually create a customized folder for an application that you can download at? But it needed to have a primary source folder that will hold all the portable application.

For ex.: ("_" sign should be optional)

X:\Portable_Program_Files\Common_Files\Adobe
X:\Portable_Program_Files\Common_Files\Java
X:\Portable_Program_Files\iBin
X:\Portable_Program_Files\Mozilla\Firefox_Portable_Edition

PA Launcher: Possible Bug

Submitted by Gremlin on August 18, 2010 - 9:08am

Hi,

I think I found a bug in the PA Launcher V2.0.

Description:
When you try to generate a portable app launcher you get the notification that the launcher was not generated. In the launcher generator's log file you get the following text in the last line:

Error in script "G:\WinBox\PortableApps.com\PortableApps.comLauncher\Other\Source\PortableApps.comLauncher.nsi" on line 54 -- aborting creation process

This happens when you choose a too long term with too much blanks in the term for the variable 'name' under section [Details] in App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini

Encryption Question

Submitted by patrickmaddog on August 12, 2010 - 5:08pm

I got overzealous and immediately installed the Suite on my new portable hard drive, forgetting that I was intending to install it in a TrueCrypt encrypted file container for protection of my saved passwords and such. Since a TrueCrypt volume is mounted like a drive, to which you can easily drag and drop files, I was wondering if I could simply move the PortableApps directory into the container and use it like normal, or would I have to reinstall?

hi, I'm new at making themes for the potable apps. I've used it for a few years, and wanted to make a theme of my own, so i tried to follow the guide that i found on another post (http://ptc.kain-planet.de/pap20t-en-2.php). I've been able to make it, but i want to change the button colors. is there a link that has all the different colors? (here's a pic of it: http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8278/bleachthemea.jpg)

Problems with re-establishing a back-up

Submitted by Anders Rasmussen on August 8, 2010 - 5:28am

I’m using Portable Apps suite, primarily Thunderbird, and enjoying it.

However I have messed up quite a lot and am now in a bit of a problem.

Somehow Thunderbird has been deleted from my USB-disk. I think it is be course I took the disk out while the laptop was in standby-mode, but with Thunderbird still running. The suite-interface is still showing a disk usage corresponding to Thunderbird still being there, but my XP is showing that it is gone. The Thunderbird folder has formed to a 1-KB unknown file and the icon removed from the suite-interface.

Problem Launching application from the platform

Submitted by 0per4t0r on August 3, 2010 - 10:47pm

I have the game "Plasma Pong" installed, and it will run fine if you open it from windows explorer, but the platform will not open it. If i click on its icon on the menu, it just closes the menu and does nothing.

When the game launches, it usually opens a command prompt displaying the game settings, and then launches the game itself and GLUT (something to do with opengl)
