PortableApps.com Platform

I tried to transfer my document files from my PC to PortableApps Documents folder on a memory stick. Now when I click the Documents folder in PortableApps I get a folder named Documents with subfolders named Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos. I then have to click on the subfolder named Documents to get my document files. This is annoying. I would like to go direct from my PortableApps menu to my documents. I have tried renaming each of the document folders in turn, but this did not help. Any ideas please? -Mike

I had hidden all of the OpenOffice.orgPortable icons except the main one, then after updating to 3.0.1 they all came back. I'm not exactly clear on how the renaming mechanism on the menu actually works, but is it possible to make it remember custom names of icons through an update? Not a huge problem, just a minor annoyance. Thanks.

Hello

Please modify the PortableApps installer in order to allow installation to multiple directories.

This would be helpful if you were installing to different directories, or different USB drives.

Please add this feature!!!

Thanks in advance,

When I try to eject the Portable Apps Suite all I get is constant error message

"Access violation at address 00488714 in module PortableAppsPlatform.exe Read of address 1DO8D70B"

Finally just took the drive out and tried it on my Vista box and it works fine
there. The XP machine still has the apps icon in the system tray and neither R.
nor L. clicks will produce anything except the above message. I know it is a lock of some kind but how do I remove the icon other than to shut down. There is nothing
in the Task manager.

Hello, I've been using PA for 2 years now but I recently started to experience a change in the name of the drive which, - specially for XAMMP - causes me trouble to start Apache since the drive it's inserted in is not being read correctly; for example, if I installed and used the G: drive and insert it on another PC on the drive, the PA is read as G: (on screen and in the Win Explorer) any ideas ?

Thanks in advace

good day every body;

i'm new to Portable Appz, i know about it by chance while i found one application i always use in a portable mode, actually it was "ADOBE Light room 2" but the trial version, now how can i use the "portable appz platform" to build up my portable software.

i will appreciate it to guide me to some documentation and so on.
thanks

The portableapps menu picks up all the exe files from my applications folders and lists them on the menu. However, I have some folders containing several exe files and I don't want all of them listed. So a particular folder may have files:
main.exe, helper1.exe, helper2.exe
where main is the name of my application and helper1 ... are subsidiary exe files which need to be retained in the folder but I don't want them listed on the menu. How do I remove some (eg helper1.exe, helper2.exe) from the menu while retaining the corresponding exe files in my folders?

most of the time when i want to safely eject my flash drive after using portableapps.com platform for some time, i get a error message telling me "there is a problem ejecting usb mass storage device", that "windows can't stop my generic device because a program is still using it", now i shut down everything i was using. and even looked in the task manager to try and see what might be using it but i still have no idea....

I would like to add SharpDevelop to my portableapps menu but it doesn't seem to allow me to add it since the folder structure is like this:
SharpDevelop
-bin
--program.exe
I.e. the executable is a subfolder of the program folder.
I cannot change this since it requires this file structure.
Any help?

I don't know if this has been talked about before because I dont really know how to search for it. But anyways when I plug my usb drive into my Win2k box and run portableapps.exe it says "loading" in the system tray for about a second or two and opens the menu. Now on other windows xp and vista boxen I open portableapps.exe and its says "loading" for about 2-3 minutes before it opens the menu? Is there anyway to get it to open like it does in windows 2000?

Thanks,

Michael M.
