PAP doesn't behave like a normal menu

Navigation-wise I mean. This is something that's always bugged me, but as 2.0 is imminent I figure I better bring it up sooner rather than later.

* The arrow keys scroll the menu rather than select. This is incorrect and makes the menu impossible to use with the keyboard alone.

* ENTER doesn't choose. Instead I have to click with the mouse. Again, this makes the menu impossible to use by keyboard alone.

problems with 1.5.2

Submitted by ottosykora on March 20, 2009 - 2:23pm

With the new version of the platform I encountered some problems.

OK, they are concerning only software not from here, but anyway, the problems were not here before.

Some programms do not start when I click on them in the PA menu. When I click on the launcher exe file in its folder all starts fine but not from the menu even it is displaying there. It did start with the previous versions fine.
(example portable pgp java version)

Other programs have lost icons, thight they have icons on the right place in the appinfo, for example wireshark portable.

Please insert a disk into Drive G:

Hi,

Yesterday, I tried to install PAP 1.5.2 on a folder on my 1 GB USB called Apps.
I think the installation was aborted with error that I don't remember.
After that I can't browse my USB and get message "Please insert a disk into drive G:".
I had many other files on it that are important to me.
I hope you have a solution for this problem.

Thanks,
X
