Hey, I've been trying out the PAM 1.6 beta and I like what I see but I was wondering how it was coming along as far as official release? I AM NOT asking for a timeline. I know better than that. I was looking more for an answer along the lines of "it's about x% done" or "it's in final bugtesting" or "we have 2 or 3 more things we haven't gotten in yet" or something like that. I'm just curious how it's progressing, especially after reading about John's meetings with the different flash drive companies and him saying that they wanted some specific features and such.

Installed PortableApps first no connection with FF3.5 yet

Memory Stick on public Library PC's

Do I un-install PA and re-install after FF?

Otherwise it defaults to IE on the OS - which is probably a screwed-down version of IE6 (remotely).

ie6 clags in the net-nanny (read surveillance and security - it is what it is)
FF does not.
I use an HTML page as my favourites - it is as graphic and informative as my HTML skills allow (eg telphone numbers, colour coding, and more). Which diminshes any advantage of PA.

autorun.ini - PortableApps Platform

Submitted by nomnex on July 6, 2009 - 2:07am

This follow a thread in the general discussion about safe usage of portable applications.

Since the autorun function is the cause of many infections, I was wondering why the PortableApps platform has one.

It is handy, I agree, but I rather trade ease of use for security. as mentioned on the other thread I use Panda USB vaccin to prevent autorun on external devices to launch. Still, I recently use portable applications and I am glad to have your opinion. Thanks.

Controlling PortableApps Launcher without a mouse

Submitted by Sanos on June 25, 2009 - 3:49am

Hello,
is there a way to control (especially launch apps) from the PA launcher?

Today I found myself in a rather unusual situation.. my mouse was borrowed by a college and since we don't have spare mouses I had to work for some time without a pointer device.

I was able to work without it with most programs, one of the exceptions was PAL - while I could open with Win+P, I was not able to select the App I wonted to launch, or launch any app from the menu.
