Hello,
I got Portable Apps 1.1 installed on a 4GB USB key with lots of data. I make a weekly backup of the whole key.
Since my last backup, I cannot more open/use any programm on the key!
Ichecked the backup. There also the programs are lost.
In the backup as well as on the key, the folder ..\ThunderbirdPortable\..\profile\Mail\mail.eco-rah.be is still there but the files are empty. Also the total amount of space used on my key is drastically reduced.
The other data folder are well backuped and usable.
I didn't see any posts concerning this, so if I missed it, my apologies. As far as the PA Menu, would it be possible to get a scroll bar to quickly scroll through your list of programs? I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how difficult that would be, but it would help a lot when you have many portable apps. Thanks you...
Hi all,
I am wondering, is there a way to create folders in the portable apps menu, to group apps together? I have some apps I would like to group, to clear up some space on the menu, like a mozilla folder, and other things. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance,

I had another portable program that I wanted to add to the menu, so i copied its folder into "PortableApps", and started StartPortableApps.exe - and the new program shows up in the menu - but with a bad name, i tried changing the name of the exe file, but the menu keeps using the same name - is there some way to rename what name gets shown in the menu?

Hello,
I have portableapps version 1.1 loaded on a USB Key Drive
It works fine on 3 PCs (2 using XP Pro SP3 and one using Vista Business)
But it crashes on another PC also running XP Pro SP3
I chatted to some very helpful guys on the live chat and they suggested I post here.
They also asked me to do a new download and install which I tried, and also asked me to run some apps without using the menu system, I tried Firefox Portable and Open Office Write and they both worked fine.
All other software on the PC works fine
Does one reckon that shortcuts from any program, say Opera-USB could be put somewhere and recognised by the Portable Apps. platform or otherwise Xenon recognise them?
I'm glad for the vast array of portable applications, some which I never thought would ever be implemented in this way but shortcuts in my view are a must on Windows even though open source doesn't mean windows parse.
My dear friend,
I know you're spending a lot of time reading topics at the PortableApps.com forum. And that you're missing that smart layout when you're finished reading all reaplies twice. So I made a forum theme for your PAM 1.1. Take a look:

I hope that will warms up your heart.
In love,

I noticed that all the templates are for the old version of PAM. This is a template for PAM 1.1 with the eject button.
Here it is. It is made out of a theme I already made based on Ubuntu.

Here some themes I made. The Wii one needs work.
