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.

Adding entries to the PA Menu?

Submitted by DerekMaciel on June 14, 2009 - 6:34pm

So I was wondering if I could add a shortcut/entry to the PA Menu. I want to add #Develop to my flash drive, I edited the configuration file to save settings out of the registry. Using RegShot I found that it adds a couple entries to the registry. The program doesn't rely on these Keys, so I am just going to ignore it (most of the public computers where I live are Deep Frozen, which has a saved state of the computer and then on next start up deletes any changes from the saved state).

Possible bug: Installer corrupts USB drive (XP Pro)

Hello,

Has anyone noticed this problem? Install PortableApps.com Suite Standard (Version 1.5.2) to a cleanly formatted 8 Gb USB drive. (Let's call it drive G:) After installing, run:

chkdsk G:

And it will tell that the drive contains errors, and will suggest running chkdsk with /F option to fix them.

However, if you install the Suite Standard to hard drive (Let's call the directory C:\PortableApps), and after install copy everything to a cleanly formatted USB drive:
