PortableApps.com Platform

Hi guys,

I've been happily using PA on a 1GB Cruzer drive for a good few months now and I love it but I've installed quite a bit of stuff on there which has gobbled up the space so I bought a new, bigger drive - an 8GB Kingston Datatraveller which arrived today.

I took to the website, downloaded the basic suite (as I planned on copying and pasting all the apps from my 1GB drive) and it installs fine but then when I try to run it, it generates an error - the usual Windows guff and tells me to either send or not send an error report.

Formatted the drive and tried again. Same issue.

I just installed PortableApps.com on my HP 2133 netbook (win xp home sp3) and when I configure Large Fonts, the apps list uses the same line space as regular fonts, so all text is cut in half.

I'll see if I find a way to attach a screen capture of this.

Using PortableApps.com_Suite_Setup_1.5.2_en.exe

What is the relationship between the projects of John T. Haller, of SmithTech of Pam mod? Are co-related and always show the platform's apps are not unified, but John would not agree because when it comes to customization? Or are friends of a parallel project, not unified? What is the true history?

Hi I chose to download the 'Platform Only' package. As I wanted to be able to select only the apps I actually need. I downloaded it to my 8GB memory stick. When I started to install, it seemed to be doing something in DOS? I wasn't aware that there was a DOS on a memory stick? This was followed by my printer, spontainiously spitting out sheets of paper each with a couple of words or lines of gibberish. My response was to cancel install and switch my PC off.

Dear friends do not know if this problem happens only to me but to open some applications (Cooler Player, Pnotes) my application freezes, then only finalizing the process and starting again, anyone knows any solution?

PortableApps is cool even better than U3 that currently have most of their applications out of date, Firefox 2.0 by example.

I think that the only thing PortableApps needs to be more robust is a password protected applications because if you’re using FileZilla and/or Putty and your thumb-drive is lost or stolen other person will have access to this sensitive applications with sensitive data stored between them meaning that someone will have chance to access to your router or servers before passwords can be changed.

Hi, there is an environment variable set by the Portable Apps Platform that point out to the "myflashdrive:\PortableApps" path?

I ask this for some apps have configuration parameters wich point to another app location.

In my case, in Total Commander I can set an external editor, and I usually set Notepad++ for this, specifically my portable usb notepad++ installed on the pendrive.

The problem is: in the path parameter I've to write the full path, example:
G:\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\Notepad++Portable.exe

Is possible to convert this option:

RemainVisible=True

In a numeric options with the number of seconds the menu will stay visible in a future release?
It'll be very usefull when it's needed to launch 2 or 3 apps every now and then but not always.

Just a very-very-background request, on the bottom of the list

I have tried change the icon of Startportableapps.exe to a personal icon, made by me, but when i change the starter dont run, no error messages, my icon have the same parameters (256x256 rgb/a, 48x48 rgb/a, 32x32 rgb/a, 16x16 rgb/a and 32x32 256, 16x16 256)and i rename the icon to Startportableapps.
I am using Iconworkshop, and too tried Executable File Icons Changer.The icon change, but dont run. Why?
