PortableApps.com Platform

Ok, I am a relative newbie to PortableApps do forgive me if these have been covered but here are a few things I'd love to see in PAM:

I initially was going to suggest integrating Launchy (http://www.launchy.net/) but the more I think about it the more I realize it would be much more useful to integrate Launchy-like capabilities into PAM itself, so here is the wishlist:

Portable App Backup automatically uses the system %TEMP% directory to create the actual backup file. This is not working very well for relatively large portable hard drives which often by far exceed (even when compressed) the maximum available disc space of the drive where the %TEMP% resides on.

Since the 7za tool has a parameter (-w) which could be used to customize the temporary working directory, I actually don't see a reason to not use this. A simple file dialog letting the user choose an arbitrary directory would do.

Hello there,

I was wondering what the lastest is on security, traces, encryption, etc. for portable apps?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Is there a way to automatically launch several often used programs when Portable Apps Menu is launched? Kind of having a "startup" folder within PAM itself.

Thanks!

Before I try this, is it even possible? To say, burn the complete suite to a CD-R media, and use the suite from this medium?

Howdy!

Portable app menu is very fast access to programs but when apps are more than 20, find an app is very difficult.

If we can group programs into sections like Games, Multimedia or other categories finding them made easy.

Also all programs have English name and they can not have another name in other languages, if we can change name of them to another language [App names in menu] we can find them easily.

I thought of it all the time, how to realize it.
Now I found a way, even for 1.1:

I Downloaded the PortableApps.com Platform and installed it on an external USB drive, 300 GB FAT32 in a folder called PORTABLE.
The program starts and puts its window in the lower right corner of the screen but when I click on a folder in the menu, the folder opens and the PortableApps.com Platform shuts down. I suppose this is not how it should be. Any suggestions? I run Win XP home. I downloaded the PortableApps.com Platform only, because it is multilingual.
