PortableApps.com Platform

Is there any pre-requirements before you can add a personal picture? I'm not able to add any picture as with any picture I try, I get the same error message: "JPEG error#53"

This really driving me up to the wall. details of the image is as follows; this size is 2.8KB, the dimensions 48 x 48 and the image format is .jpg

I have tried different images, with different names but all are cropped/resized to 48 x 48 size. The image is saved in the Pictures folder of my PortableApps USB memory stick I use the latest version of the platform - 1.1

Please forgive my ignorance. I installed my portable apps into the new platform menu, however, neither Sundbird nor Thunderbird carried over the information. Thankfully, I still have the data (accessible by opening the Sunbird and Thunderbird folders without using the menu). Does anyone know how to transfer the information (calendar events and address book) over to the new platform? Thank you in anticipation of someone's help.--Jay

i cant get any of the icon images to show up on my Portable Apps Menu

This is what i get:

It is only doing it on my home computer, which is what i use the most

i have tried installing it on different drives and devices and same thing happens everytime

i also installed different versions of it, no luck

im running out of ideas, i even tried safe mode

Anyone got any ideas??

I use a few USB-drives, and every one has a specific name. But since I installed PA suite, the name of my drives was changed to "PortableApps.com" in Windows explorer.
Is it a way that I could keep the name of the drive in state of the general "PA.com"?
Thanks

Actually I use VistaPremium SP1.

I realise someone must have done a theme that looks all plain like Windows 2000 but what I'm wondering is if there is a way to simply strip away the theming that comes with the Portable apps menu and let the boring old grey widgets show through?

So it isn't theming I'm interested in so much as stripping the menu down to the bare essentials. Any ideas?

Hey All

I am using version 1.0 with Mod30. didn't even realize what the wallpaper swapper did till saw it mentioned in the v1.1 release.

Checked out the old Mod30 thread and found the only difference was in the image file name.

but it does not seem to work!
do I need to have privileges for this to work either for the Mod30 or the PAMv1.1?

If it doesn't work for the Mod 30 but will for the PAMv1.1 I have a second question.

How do I add a personal picture to the menu for the new 1.1 version of the menu?

While I like the look of the PA Platform and some of the features such as integrated backup, eject, etc. I have found that ASuite is much more flexible and useful. You can add any app to the menu you want in any order. Group apps together any way you want. App EXEs do not have to be adjacent to the ASuite app, you can "launch" any extension type from any directory even those not on the USB drive. You can even set customized parameters to use when launching an app as well as set any icon you want.

Hello.

I just wanted to thank you regarding the introduction of the eject functionnality. I used the Platform 1.0 for a while and was a bit annoyed that such a feature wasn't available, so I switched to Portable Start Menu from another developer. At the moment I think Portable Start Menu has the most user-friendly and most efficient eject feature from all the portable application launchers.

I searched but I could find a forum topic dealing with localisation mistakes so I created one. People should post like this:
