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.

Using PortableAppsBackup and -Restore without the PortableAppsSuite

Submitted by Cathryne on June 21, 2008 - 1:25am

Hejhej!

I have FF3 and TB2 Portable allready installed on my PC an would like to use the Backup function of PortableAppsSuite.

What I tried is this:
- copied the PortableAppsBackup-folder somewhere else
- launched PortableAppsBackup seperately from the Suite from the new folder
- started a "Complete" backup

I guess that's not what I wanted Wink

Of course there are other backup programs, but this is the only one I found, which I can run, it knows the location of my PortableApps(-Profiles) and backs it up to a 7zip-file.

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?
