PortableApps.com Platform

After much searching and looking everywhere in the .exe with PE Explorer, I cannot seem to find the solution to this. Even google was of little help.

In Vista, I plug in my USB and Autoplay starts just fine, everything works great! But underneath the "Start PortableApps" is the text "Publisher Not Specified."

My intuition tells me that the Publisher information should go in the appinfo.cfg or under the Version header in PE Explorer. I tried adding in a Publisher string in the Version header and recompiled it successfully, but still no change.

When exiting the program the following instructions are given - Always wait until the drive access light has stopped blinking and then click the icon in your system tray to 'Safely Remove' your device. When I follow these instructions I get the message "the device volume cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later". Later never comes and I end up just unplugging the USB device. Is there something I am missing or is this the only way to stop the Portable Apps program.

I tried few times already to create an backup of my stick using the backup utility of the PA.

OK, it starts, the cmd window shows some files in some arbitrary order to be backed up, but the job never finishes. It produces a pregress bar, OK, but this is somewhere in the region of 90 percent and will not move further. The harddrive works all the time, after abt 30hrs I have given up that experiment.

The stick is 8gb, has some 5gb data on it.

am I doing something wrong or does this in general work this way?

I love portable apps. I seem to get a secondhand computer from friends, get a new one at work, or school every other month so keeping all my data on an external hard disk with most of my major apps has been a life send. I don't usually contribute to free ware causes but if i can get this shaped up there are a few developers out there to whom I would gladly give funding money (what little i could anyway).

Greetings, everyone. I just downloaded and installed PA and some additional apps only to have nothing work. I couldn't believe it!

First Q: the auto start file is supposed to start the portableapps suite when i insert the jump drive right?

Second Q: the wall paper swapper, i cant get it to work, u are supposed to name the picture u want to be the background portableapps_wallpaper.bmp correct? and put it in the pictures directory

please help

There's another way to have Windows show custom icons for folders without interfering with other operating systems: set the System attribute on the folder (only System; NOT Hidden). If you do this, the folder will still show up in Explorer with its custom icon, and should allow Linux and others to write to it, unlike currently...

I have 2 small problems with Portable Apps. One, the Menu does not laonch automatically when I insert flash drive. I start it by exploring to the "Start Portable Apps.exe in root of USB drive or by making ashortcut on my computer desktop. 2. One the menu program is running in the Taskbar there seems to be no way of stopping it except by using Ctl-Alt-Delete and ending the application. The "x" in the lower right corner of the menu does nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks
