backup utility - "Complete (all files on your portable drive)"

Submitted by pelican on June 30, 2008 - 5:58am

A dumb question I know, but I've tried search and can't find an answer. In the Portable Apps backup utility I assume the option "Complete (all files on your portable drive)" actually means all folders and files - not just those in the Portable Apps folder. Therefore if I have my Portable Apps folder on my main C: drive , does that mean the utility will try and backup my whole C: drive?

Needs Help - Portable Apps Totally Not Working!!!

Submitted by herodom on June 28, 2008 - 7:39am

I'm a new person here, and my creation of this account is to mainly seek help from the forums about my problem here. I have used PortableApps for 2 days already, and so far, I am impressed with it. I first used PortableApps on a computer which is not mine, where I downloaded the basic suite of PortableApps. I then went home and started downloading apps to fill it in. This morning, I also downloaded more and more apps and switched off my computer just a few hours ago. Now, when I try to open PortableApps, I go into my thumbdrive and double-click the Start PortableApps.exe icon.

Menu programs list

I'd like to know, how does the PAM launcher auto generate a list of all available exe's?
I'm not a developer but I'd like to know because I have a folder with lots of exe's and I want to auto generate it shortcuts, if possible.

Thanks in advance for this odd question.

HELP !!!! Changing the text of the extensions listed in the popup window

Submitted by Itgnius on June 24, 2008 - 12:06am

Hi there.

I have portable apps installed on my USB stick.
How do I (if at all possible) change the text on how the programs appear in the popup window.

i.e I am happy with the icons however for example I would like to do this:

I instead of having 'Notepad++Potable' I want to simply rename it as 'Notepad'.

If this is possible how do I go about doing it ??

Any help would be much appreciated.
