Batch install or update of several apps in one single operation from the PortablApps start menu - possible?

Submitted by kamosan on January 17, 2009 - 9:10am

Is there any way to install/upgrade many portable apps in one single operation from the PortableApps start menu?

I have got quite a few apps on my USB stick now, and it is a bit tedious to install or upgrade them one by one.

I have tried to find some info about this in the forum but to no avail.
Feedback would be most welcome.

Autorun: The Limiting Factor to Portable Apps

Submitted by tlivingston on January 16, 2009 - 9:51pm

I love portable apps, I really do. But how can we ever expect this to take off with the public when autolaunching is such a pain? Can we really expect people to know to click into my computer, and then into the drive letter, EACH time they want to launch the software? To me, this is a massive Achilles Heal.

Adding folders

Submitted by VToine on January 12, 2009 - 4:06pm

Hi,

Is it possible to create folders in PortableApps.com menu to sort the various shortcuts for example by subject (Internet, Productivity, Games etc. ..). Otherwise would it be possible to add this option in a future version.

Nevertheless thank you for the work poduit.

change sequence of programs to be launched

Submitted by Hilmar99 on January 4, 2009 - 7:08am

Is there any way to change the sequence of the listed programs to be launched in the PortableApps.com Platform.

Default is in alphabetical order. I would like to have the most used ones first.
Or can the displayed names of the programs be changed, so I could do it like this.

(01)FirefoxPortable
(02)ThunderbirdPortable
(03)FileZillaPortable
(04)7-ZipPortable
....etc

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hilmar
