PortableApps.com Platform

Is there an option to make the Portableapps Suite not scan for app icons every time I plug in? I have a 4gig drive with lots of apps and this takes forever.

If it's not done yet, I'd like to submit it as a request.

I Recently encountered a bug where the menu become unclickable when opened for the second time (ie, first time from auto run menu worked, however launcher again from system tray left menu unclickable). I tested this on my laptop, and it worked fine. I had a think, and then realised the only difference was on my desktop, I used ObjectDock. I have an object dock that displays the system tray icons. When the portable apps menu is clicked on from there the menu does not work. I re enabled my windows taskbar, and launched it from there, and the menu was clickable.

I recently defragged my primary hard drive. Don't know if it's just coincidence or not, but ever since then the application icons on the PortableApps.com Menu will not display. I have tried refreshing the app icons multiple times to no avail. I have tried ejecting and reinserting the thumb drive, no help. How can I get the app icons to display again? I'm on the verge of formatting the thumb drive and re-installing everything.

Is it possible to change the height of the Main Window?
It's about 400x570 pixels and I have a rather long App-List
that does not fit into it. (without scrolling)
Since my screen/s is/are fairly huge why not increase the height a bit?

I tried to install the standard package of the PortableApps several times and every time it ends with an error message it can't extract the toolkit.jar (almost at the end of the install).
Could you please check on it, 'cause this makes the installation break off early.

Thanks!

I don't know if this has been suggested or is coming in 1.5 but I was thinking, since I have a 16GB USB, I have a lot of apps. Because of this, whenever I load PortableApps it takes a long time to load all of the apps. If there was a cache it would probably take a lot less time. Of course there would be a refresh option and an option to turn off the cache completely.

I suggest a context menu for the items on the menu.

On it, I have the following:

1. Rename -- Change the name that is shown to you.

2. Hide From Menu -- Removes the item from the menu.

I also suggest a new button on the menu, "Show All", which only appears if you have at least one hidden item.

3. Show On Menu -- Makes the item not hidden anymore. Only shows if the item is hidden, and you click Show All and find the context menu of the item you want.

Several Potential Problems with MojoPac?
After Installing MojoPac to an external hard drive connected to a Host PC which uses WinXP Pro and IE and has a Firewall and Virus Scan software installed, I noticed that in the MojoPac WinXP environment when I would do certain functions that it would show up in the Host PC's firewall that a particular program was active although it was activated in the MojoPac WinXP environment?

I also noticed that after installing MojoPac that the MojoPac username and such is filed under the Host PC's Documents and Settings?

how do i get the platform to autorun, it used to but i don't know what happened
thanks in advance

I guess I'm just dense but I'm struggling with the directions to make a directory
next to the Portable Apps Directory. I'd love to send a screen shot of what I've done but since that isn't possible I'll have to try to describe it.
