PortableApps.com Platform

Hi!!

I'd just wanted to know if the platform supports/will support .bat files as applications. For instance, I'm using a XMPP application named PSI that needs a particular enviroment variable to run portable, so I use a .bat file to set that variable before launching the app. Or I've to pass some parameters to a java program (javaw.exe -jar programName.jar --parameterToBePassed).

It would be great if I can make PortableApps Menu handle those kind of applications!

Thank you very much for all your help and hard work!

I'm not sure what the Platform is doing when it refreshes the app list, but for whatever reason when I have Microsoft Security Essentials (MS antivirus) running, it seems to take a long time to load the list. However, I don't notice this problem with ASuite, which loads just as quickly whether MSSE is turned on or off.

I would like to point out a compatibility issue with my Windows Mobile PDA running WinMo 6.5

I use my PDA's drive mode (it becomes as a cardreader for it's microsd card, so it works as a usb flash drive). I have a lot of portable apps on it, which i use daily. This works perfectly, except for one thing: in Windows Mobile 6.5, the documents folder is called "My Documents" in stead of "Documents". So my pda it keeps on making the folder "My Documents" and subfolders like "My Music", "My Pictures" and "My Ringtones".

Since i upgraded to version 1.6 the menu is being resized according to my dpi-settings. is there any way to deactivate this feature?

Hi all,
I Would like to upgrade PA Platform: How can I do it?
TY.

Hi

I am very new to PortableApps platform and just wana ask a basic thing, if I put portable apps suite including open office on my usb drive and then, I go and try to open a .doc file, it doesn't open in open office, it opens in default Microsoft Word installed on the system, or doesn't open at all if the system doesn't have MS Office installed.

Is there a way to associate doc to open office on thumb drive? Or would I have to launch OpenOffice Writer first and then open the file manually?

Thanks a lot.

Firstly thanks to the devs, I've been using this for a few weeks and being able to use Openoffice at Uni is a real help.

Now to my problem:

To help with my studies I installed Portable GIS from

http://www.archaeogeek.com/blog/portable-gis/

It all works but there are a couple of niggles after doing so:

1/ Portable GIS has taken over the autorun , I would prefer The portableapps menu to load as default. I had a look around and couldn't find an autorun file for portableapps [edit] I replaced the autorun script but it still doesn;t work and the icon's doesn't appear.[edit]

Is it possible to make folders in the platform to group applications?

The PA.c Installer never seems to remove the folder it creates in the %TEMP% directory. It usually contains "textreplace.dll" (maybe I saw "registry.dll" in there a few times but I can't reproduce that one at the moment). Anyone else?

I promise I searched this before posting. A (hopefully) simple request I have is that the Portable App Suite window be shrunk from 599 pixels to 536 pixels. This is to accommodate Netbooks with their reduced resolution and would (hopefully) not adversely affect the experience of non-netbook users. If it would, perhaps a Netbook-specific version?

536px is the space I have excluding my taskbar (Win7 standard theme), some Netbooks will require less but i suggest any other Netbook users post if they have even less (obv within reason ) to work for everyone.
