Alt-Tab - Portable Apps Launcher

Submitted by gcore on May 5, 2010 - 1:14pm

I'm a teacher who uses the PortableApps suite at my school. However, the schoolboard has disabled the start menu, task bar, and numerous other features.

I access the portable apps exe by opening it through Internet Explorer's file>open menu. After opening the launcher, I must reopen it again by going through explorer each time I want to open a new application because I am unable to open it through the disabled task bar.

Is there a way that I can customize the launcher to stay open so that I can use alt-tab to switch to it?

launchy-like interface for platform

Submitted by Bob Bagwill on May 4, 2010 - 8:32am

I would like a launchy-like interface for the PortableApps platform. It could be launchy itself or a work-alike. I would like to be able to search/open/launch docs/apps with it, but also be able to manage the platform itself, i.e. update/backup/delete etc.

As soon as you have more than a menu or two of options or commands, a progressive search interface becomes more efficient, IMHO.

Portable Apps Themes installation problem

Submitted by mcf57 on April 28, 2010 - 9:52am

I must be missing & overlooking this somehow, but how do you add the "theme" option to the Portable apps option area? I have a portable apps installation that has been installed & running at work for some time that has this option. But when I downloaded & install a new version of portable apps to put on a flash drive, it doesn't seem to have this "theme" option. What am I doing wrong here? I downloaded the basic platform (2MB). Do I maybe need to download either the 'Suite Light' or 'Suite Standard' editions in order to get the theme option to appear?

Hi,

A few Days ago I installed the newest platform ob P-apps. One of the nice new-features are, the Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird are on the tops. Than there is an horizontal bar, and the other programs are based on the alphabet are running.

Can I sort the programs on my own? Fore example the office on top, and the games on the bottom?

Problem probably related due to virus attack

Submitted by alist1 on April 15, 2010 - 2:41pm

How do i access PortableApps Platform and Portable Apps if choosing any of them via the platform or manually results in an "open with" menu?

This might have to do with me recently being attacked by awe.exe, an annoying fake virus scanner which actualli restricted my access to the internet on a computer browser and caused Portable Mozilla Firefox to crash every time i loaded it up.

Win7 Pinned PAP does not stay in place

Submitted by Rapscallion on April 12, 2010 - 5:35pm

When pinning apps in Win7, you have the ability to arrange the pinned apps in the task bar in the order you want. I like to have the PAP Menu to the far left of the task bar so it is close to the Win7 start orb. Unfortunately the location is not "memorized" properly. If the menu is not running, the pinned PAP Menu always moves to the far right of the currently pinned apps on a reboot/login. Even if I try to move it back to the left, it just jumps back to the far right. If however I launch the platform, then I am able to move the pinned PAP Menu anywhere I want and it will stay.

[Closed] PA.c Installer, DownloadFiles, FTP & $PLUGINSDIR

Submitted by prapper on April 12, 2010 - 6:51am

If the download is cancelled while the installer is still displaying "Connecting...", the folder "$PLUGINSDIR/Downloaded" isn't removed. I can only reproduce this with FTP, HTTP cleans up fine. And so does FTP but *only* if it's cancelled once the download has started.

Is that a bug?

I tested with PicPickPortable (HTTP) & GZDoomPortable (FTP).
