command-line switches, portableapps menu

Submitted by NiveusLuna on June 17, 2008 - 1:10pm

Is there a way to incorporate command line switches for programs using the portableapps menu? I run mIRC from my flash drive, but whenever I open it from the menu, it assumes it's supposed to use the registry. I have to open up a command prompt and use the -portable switch to get it to do what I want.
Is this part of the menu already, or should I make a feature request?

Portable apps on C:Drive

Submitted by Charliemac on June 12, 2008 - 1:24pm

New to Portable apps and already screwed up.
Installed on ipod, but to play around w1th it I installed to C: Drive also.
It now appears on explorer as C: Drive.

It appears to have removed my Administrators privliges, and will not allow other browsers etc. when running. It does not appear on list of Add/Remove programmes and I cannot do a system restore to unistall either.

Any ideas?

I have Opera@USB installed @ PortableApps.com Menu. since the Opera@USB is not formatted the way PortableApps.com format them, 2 exe file shows up @ the menu, which is kind of annoy. I wonder if there is a feature where you can hide an shortcut in the menu

configurable 'eject' function - TrueCrypt dismout

Submitted by joejoe2048 on June 8, 2008 - 11:59am

Hi all,

it would be great to have a configurable 'eject' function to add custom actions in addition to stoping PAM and calling the windows USB eject dialog.

I need this feature for dismounting the TrueCrypt volume my PAM is encrypted saved on.

Like already requested on the forum, it would be really great to have a complete shutdown function for all portable applications running and closing all open file handles. Open file handles prevent true crypt volumes from cleanly dismounting.

Thanks for all the great work,
Johannes
