PortableApps.com Platform

Good day to all!

I have the older versions of the PA Suite that has only the "X" button in the lower right hand corner of the platform on two seperate USB jump drives. Both drives have different apps (one for office, one for home).

Recently, I noticed the newer version of the platforms have an extra "-" button added. When I tried to swap platforms just for the extra button I wound up having to reinstall all the apps again.

Is there a way to do this without reinstalling all the apps previously installed?

I've noticed there are a few discrepancies in the language codes between 1.5.2 and 2.0. A couple of them are just the 'Name' (which I don't think is important) but a few of the other codes have changed too (French and German for instance) which breaks the language switching.

Rather than list them here, I've uploaded a document I created in Notepad++, noting the changes. Perhaps one of the language experts here could look at it and check what's right and what's wrong.

I'll like to suggest adding folders in the Portableapps launcher, like putting openoffice stuff in one folder and some other stuffs in another folder and also let us customize the folder icon.

Hi,

Is it possible to customize documents directories locations ?
I mean to have Videos directory located in Media\Movies for example.
I need this feature because my media center solution needs this hard coded directory.

Regards,

Laurent.

I have tried to take a screenshot of my specific setup of my platform, but If I try to do it with lightscreen, the platform hides itself before I get a chance to screenshot it. Please help.

I've added a couple of apps to my menu, and these work fine because the folder has the .exe file in the directory which the PA system finds and puts on the menu.

I have a new app to add that is simply an internet shortcut to a browser page (with some flash in it).

How can I add it as a menu item?

Cheers!

I recently installed the latest PortableApps.com Platform on my flash drive.
Since then, the name of my drive has been 'PortableApps.com'.
I have tried everything to change it back, but once you rename it, it reverts to 'PortableApps.com'.
Does anyone know how to permanently rename their flash drive with the latest Platform installed?

Thanks.

Well my previous topic seems to have disappeared when I went to update it so I guess I'll just post it again... if it was deleted it would be nice if someone would let me know (and why) so, y'know, I wouldn't make the same mistake. It's hard to learn from mistakes if you're not sure if it was a mistake to being with.

The basis: laptop with lotus notes installed and no admin rights and no synch software installed.
The Question: is there a software that syncs Lotus Notes on the Laptop with a USB-application (guess yes, if yes which one) and a USB application that sync's with the mobile, google, yahoo or any other service?

Aside from categories, which I know y'all are sick of hearing about (and this will be the last mention of them in this topic), here are some ideas I've been tossing around for a future version. By future I don't mean 2.0 or 2.5 or 3.0, I mean... an idealized vision of where I think the platform should be headed. In my opinion, of course.
