i was wondering if theres a way to make the portable apps menu start automatically
Hi!
I have a question:
Is there or is it possible to incorporate a version checker for the apps that you have installed in the PA menu?
It would be nice to be able to check whether or not you have the latest versions of apps that you have installed, so you can update them easily, even after you didn't check the PA site for a while.
Can you guys replace the eject button that you have now to the one on the U3 launchpad, so you can eject the flash drive quicker?
Or are you working on this?
When ive downloaded and am installing an App how do i make it appear in the menu
After installing PortableApps to my thumb drive and using it for the first time, my computer either stopped starting up Avast! antivirus on startup or Windows failed to recognize Avast! and Comodo firewall.
I haven't yet figured out a way to correct this problem. PortableApps is the only thing that I changed or altered in this session.
Why is it interfering with my A/V and Firewall?
All apps installed and working.
Installed to:
F:\Portable_Apps\PortableApps
into their own respective folders.
For example (7Zip):
F:\Portable_Apps\7-ZipPortable
I can run it just fine from that
folder but when I open the
PortableApps Menu, I see nothing
except the basic menu - no
apps icons.
The apps were installed using:
Options / Install new Apps
from within the menu system.
Anyone?
Thanx
I can't exactly figure out why or when, but my USB drive icon, which used to be the PortableApps platform icon, suddenly disappeared. My Autorun value is
icon=StartPortableApps.exe
StartPortableApps.exe looks fine until I right-click and go to Properties. The icon is not shown and I only get a Windows Vista dummy icon (a page with a window on it)
I'm running Windows Vista. Everything else with PortableApps works fine, but my icons are missing.
Sorry if this was asked before. I wasn't able to find anything on it.
Is it possible to automaticly start some applications at the moment PortableApps starts?
Thank you!
So I just installed PSmart onto my flash drive.
Then I go to my computer and I saw that right next to my flash drive name is the PSmart Icon.
It used to be the Portableapps Icon when I installed the portableapps menu.
Now it's PSmart.
Is there anyway to change it back?
Gotta say that I love the Portable Apps Suite! But for some reason, some basic functionalities are missing on my installation (USB thumb drive, XP Home):
Cannot move the menu location (mouse functions only on the menu items)
Cannot resize the menu (adding new apps runs off the normal display area. Cannot stretch.)
Cannot find or activate an 'Eject' button (have to close the menu prgm from Windows Task Manager in order for the drive to be "safe to remove")
Cannot rename the drive as explained in FAQ (mouse does not activate that)
