PortableApps.com Platform

Some programs are compiled with ridiculous descriptions in the "Internal Name" of the program Properties, which is what Portable Apps seems to display. It would be nice to be able to easily change the displayed name if required.

Hello,

I have always update all the portable appplication program when was come out, now it's stay the possibility just to make the update of the platform 1.1 without need to re-install all the programs ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi John

First of all thanks for releasing V1.1 of the platform.

Would it be possible to add a sticky in this forum (or the main platform page) that addresses the following?

1) Which versions of the software are included in the suite(s). I.e. the latest or the versions at the time of release?

2) What mods/betas V1.1 replaces. It might seem obvious but there seemed to be many mods out there to fill the gaps waiting for the release of V1.1.

3) What mods are still supported/compatible with V1.1

is ther any way of portsableapps menu using custom locations. ie music folder in the root of the drive instead of in documents folder? reason for asking is my car head unit reads the mp3s off my pen but cant see them in folders more than 3 deep ie root\music\artist\album but it cant see root\documents\music\artist\album

I am utilizing a trick that automatically opens certain apps during autoplay. I point autorun.inf to a batch file and it does the trick. I open up my Hottnotes (sticky notes) and DexposE2 (Mac Expose Clone). They both run through the system tray, but it is annoying to close the menu and the other apps individually. Is there any way to point the close function on the PortableApps Menu to a batch file witch will close all these apps in one swoop? I also need help in actually writing the batch file, because I don't know how to kill processes from a batch file. Any help?

Thanks

With about 60 applications on my USB key here are some important improvements needed:
1. A search like Vista's start menu or Kickoff menu (see below).
2. Categorize content
3. More functions like the Kickoff menu of OpenSUSE.

The Kickoff Start Menu is the new start menu of OpenSUSE which impressed me a lot because it provides fast access to everything. Here's a screen-shot:
