PortableApps.com Platform

Long story short, I got up the enthusiasm to organise my files, installs, links, and everything, so I am now using ASuite as my application manager. I think I used 7zip to extract the PortableApps.com Suite to /PortableApps/System/PortableApps.com/ where I link solely to the backup utility.

When only using the backup utility, are there many redundant files in the App files, or can I only delete the PortableAppsPlatform.exe? I know its not a lot of physical space being freed but it is "cleaner" to me, which is what I want.

Well, for some reason, when I use my flash drive on some computers, my autorun disappears, completely. When I try to make a new one, and save it as autorun.inf on the root directory of the drive, it says it can't save because it's a read-only file... It doesn't appear on the drive, and doesn't even show up when I enable viewing of hidden and system files.. When I try to open it using windows explorer, it opens it, but it's encoded with a bunch of weird unicode characters that don't register.. I can't seem to delete the file using any means, including the command prompt...

I am attempting to make some tweaks of my own to the portable menu for personal tastes but I am having a problem. I get this error whenever I try and run or build or compile in Delphi 2010.

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?

PA version 1.6

I have a 4 GB flashdrive but the main window of PA says: 3,3 GB / 3,6 GB (used/free). This should obviously be 330 MB/3,6 GB

I’m using Windows XP SP3 version 2002 (at work)

Can anybody confirm this bug?

Thanks…

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.

Hi

I've created a couple of Mozilla Prism App and i want them to put them on the portableapps.com suite. Is it possible to these app(shortcut) on the suite ?

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?

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.
