PortableApps.com Platform

Can anyone tell me how long this road is?

Will we see 2.0 any time soon ie:- the next couple of weeks

Or will it be months

Hi everyone.

I have been looking over the new 2.0 format, and can't seem to find any difference between anything apart from in appinfo.ini where the version is 2.0.

Could anyone please tell me what the differences are?

Thanks,

These are being installed into "Other\Source\Languages". Is that right? Also, not to nit-pick, but none of the 11 new ones have actually been translated?

EDIT: OK, I guess this is something to to with the updater. I could delete this but I'll leave it here to add to my collection of idiotic posts. Or if someone else wants to do it, feel free! Sorry about that

(I'm very new to PortableApps, so please excuse me for the ignorance.)
As 2.0 is about to come out, I'm wondering how to update my platform. Do I just install the new one over it, without losing old information and getting all the benefits of the new one? Or do I have to uninstall and reinstall? I'm pretty sure it's the first, but when I do so, will there be any information lost at all, old files, or even Firefox bookmarks and history? Is there anything I should do beforehand, such as making backups or anything? Thanks.

Hi All,

I was using PortableApps 1.5 and have upgraded to 1.6.

Can I stop PortableApps searching for new apps on my stick every time it starts?

Thanks all,
Alan.

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…
