PortableApps.com Platform

Hello,

On some slower computers, the fading effect when opening or closing the menu is excruciatingly slow. I've dug around the FAQ and the settings file but found nothing to turn it off. I found another post with a reply saying that an option to turn it off would come "soon," but it was made over a year ago. I would greatly appreciate the addition of such an option.

Thanks for your time and the excellent software!

I am testing Portable APPS (PA) on a Vista PC using a USB thumb drive. The text of the PA menu items does not fit into the image and the X button to remove PA from task bar doesn't work. I have tried different display setting but that doesn't help. Works okay on my XP and 2000 systems. Has anyone had this problem?

Why no xenon forum, it's just as important as the installer if not more now isn't it?

I have only been using TB for about 1 month now - I just finished installing Portable apps with TB - I am trying to sync my Portable version to my desktop and I do not know how to get same email accounts on both. I can see the accounts on my Portable Apps but cannot use them. It is the same with Lightening calendar appointments scheduled. I need to know if I can sync my address books, email accounts, addons and calendar appointments? Also sync my GnuCash files.

Hello John;

I am using a app called "PortableFonts". I asked the developer if he had spoken to you about adding it to PAM. The idea or thought would be to load any fonts at the start up of PAM automatically. Then on shut down removing them.

He said I should ask you. So I am. You could add an option box that could be checked off if you want to add the fonts silently at start up.

I ask this because it is a great app that answers a question posed by many in this forum, How do I add fonts. Being added to PAM and done silently if wanted would in my opinion be worth looking into.

Hello and first, thank you very much for making our beloved and favorite apps portable. I enjoy a lot carrying them and work on the go.

Right now, the only issue that have is the next. I'm a college student and as such many times I have to work on the public computers. Obviously infections are easily spread, shame to accept, by USB drives.

I have no problem making at home as I always assume that my device is infected so most of the time I catch the sneak and null it. In fact, this isn't the problem I'm reporting. (ClamWin makes wonders usually)

Hi all,

I'm planning on getting a flash drive with true hardware encryption but I'm wondering about read/write speed. Is Kingston a reasonably fast drive, or is there a faster drive than that?

could update the portableApps installer would be great.
i think that menu could check the apps versions installed and check on the web for download the new version.
i can't see the version of my apps quickly for manual update.

How to change the destination of the music, video, picture buttons in the launcher..

This is my first post so first of all, thanks for the software, It's was exactly what I was looking for.

It would be awsome if we could manage the folders inside Documents and get them listed on PortableApps Menu like Music, Pictures and Videos does atm. At the same time, you could give us the chance to rename the defaults folders, and get the name updated on the list.

Btw, sorry for my english, isn't my native language.
