PortableApps.com Platform

Hi everybody,

I am completely new to PortableApps and before I start wasting hours with experimenting, I thought it a better idea to ask first.

I have an external hd attached to my router in order to access data from remote location via internet. So far I am able to access with FTP. Reason is that I am pretty often in remote offices and don't want to carry around an HD.

You added an icon in the taskbar for Windows 7 but what about a jumplist?
It's contents can be what you have in the right click menu for the tray icon. (Minus the close command, since Windows has it's own already in that menu)

It will be quite useful.

EDIT: BTW if you do decide to implment it, Windows should store the jumplists for applications somewhere so if PortableApps.com Platform had a jumplist it might leave traces there whether it is plausible to remove it or not I'm not sure about so thats up to you to figure out :P.

Hello

I'm stuck on 'Generating Installer Code'. (format wasn't correct, pressed yes to all the prompts)

Any ideas on how I can get past this step? (been stuck there with no progress for over an hour)

I've tried manual compilation with the included MakeNISW, however got the following (after troubleshooting all I could);

Processed 1 file, writing output:
Adding plug-ins initializing function... Done!
Error: resolving install function "Nsis2Io" in function "mui.FinishPre_151.5.9"
Note: uninstall functions must begin with "un.", and install functions must not

It's time to prove your girlfried that you're thinking of her all the time (you're sitting in front of your 24" TFT).

Ouch ouch stop reading this... don't hurt me, darling,...ouch

The current portable apps format specification describes a help.html file that is included in the "AppNamePortable" directory.
Exploring the file structure of the official apps, you see that this file is present for every app.
However, in order to access it, you need to browse to the folder for the app.

May I request that this be added to the context menu that you see when you right-click on an app shortcut, so that it can be opened directly from the menu?
The fact that they all are called "help.html" should help with coding this, n'est-ce pas?

PortableApps.com Platform 1.6 "RemainVisible" does not appear to be functioning properly. Added "RemainVisible=True" to PortableAppsMenu.ini and menu does remain visible, but clicking PortableApps.com Platform icon in system tray does not minimize menu.

Feature appears to be functioning properly using PortableApps.com Platform 1.5 & PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 Beta 3.

Is it possible to add shortcuts to other folders on your portable drive on the portable apps menu, next to the "explore, music, pictures, etc?" I can't figure it out.
-thanks

Hi there,
the previous version could get the menu shown when you pressed Windows key and P. The new version does not respond to that, I can't recall if this is something you can create yourself or is part and parcel of the platform? Does anyone knows how to restore this?
Thanks

Hello,

I'm the admin of DocFetcher, a desktop-search app written in Java. Currently, we have a portable version which is capable of running on both Windows and Linux, provided that a Java Runtime is installed. On Windows, the program is launched with an Exe, on Linux with a shell script.

We'd like to make this portable version Portable Apps compatible. However, after having skimmed the docs, I have the impression that Portable Apps are generally Windows-only. Is this correct? And if so, are there any plans to support programs that run on multiple platforms, especially Java programs?

Is it okay if I remove the icon portableapps platform sets for my drive from the autorun.inf?

Maybe it will also be nice to have an option for disabling it in the menu? (Translations are keeping you from adding settings to the menu john...?)
