Taskbar button always open

Submitted by Soulmech on April 11, 2010 - 7:36pm

I'm running 64-bit Windows 7, and for whatever reason, the main PortableApps window will not leave my taskbar. The window itself goes away, but the taskbar button remains. The only way I can get this button off is to close out of the Platform app entirely.

I'm also noticing this problem with Skype, so I'm guessing it's Windows-related. Is there any way to fix it?

ur portable apps is not how i expected it

Submitted by mc_3112 on April 9, 2010 - 12:32pm

uno wen u open documents, musics, pictures n videos it opens wiv windows explorer which is slightly rubbish. i thought dat wen u open documents, musics, pictures n videos it will open in the portableapps suite or a portableapps explorer (which there is no such thing.) so can u create a feature for portableapps like a portableapps explorer or in the suite. by da way if u create it on a suite put a folder icon on the suite and with a color background with the icon for da background.

Commercial usage of PA

Submitted by Excel on April 9, 2010 - 7:20am

Hello,

There is no mention about the usage of the PA to bundle commercial application. Can anyone help me on this. I have a JAVA based software which I need to bundle with other applications in PA and sell. Is this permitted. If no what needs to be done.

Regards,
Excel.

I am a bit confused. If I want to use this in the installer is it already there or do I hav to call it from the installer? Also if the file sin the directory I wish to move them to already exist does it crash? I do not want to overwrite current file rather merge/update the files in the directory into a different possibly already created directory before the install of an update takes place.

I hope this makes sense?

Screen Reader accessibility

Submitted by Dhoundiyal on April 5, 2010 - 3:24pm

I'm one of the users of Portable Apps who rely on screen reader programs to read/navigate the screen content because of my visual-impairment. I use NVDA, an open source (available from www.nvda-project.org), and JAWS, a commercially sold (available from www.freedomscientific.com), screen reader apps. The PortableApps menu/interface cannot be read by these screen readers (i.e. they are inaccessible).

First, thanks for the useful apps! Second, any chance that we can get "nested menus" for the PortableApps menu system? Last, it would be really nice is some kind of auto-updating functionality could be added in.

Back up

Submitted by sniffy on March 24, 2010 - 4:10pm

I created a 'complete'(all files on your portable drive) back up from an old flash drive. I have downloaded and installed the new platform to my desktop. I run 'restore from back up' on the new platform by selecting the 7z archive....wait for several minutes for the process to complete, click on finish. Go to new platform and nothing seems to be restored, the left hand pane is empty, no Firefox, etc ,etc ?
I'm using the platform only installation - Although I have been using PortableApps for years I have never tried to do this before, obviously I'm doing something wrong?
