PortableApps.com Platform

Is been quite some time since the Portable Apps platform has been updated. The latest I still see is the 1.1 Beta 4 Aren't you guys that are busting your butts making new portable applications worry that ones Portable Apps 2.0 comes out it won't be compatible? I would like to learn of the status of the next release. But where would I find news of it? Anyone knows anything about this?

Could somebody teach me how to change my PA tray icon?

It is so easy to use U3P files on your Portable apps usb.

I figured it out myself and I am only 16.

First open your .U3P file with (Rar) - There you will noramly see 3 or 4 folders
Extract them with rar and you will now have a folder made with the uncompressed folders, in that 1 folder.

Now open the folders one by one and look for the exe file of the app and move it outside the folder so you have Appfolder---Folder,Folder,App.exe. and put this Appfolder in (portable apps) in your usb.

Then Refresh your apps icons in Options then the app should appear in the list.

Hi,

I love Portable Apps, but I don't like how everything is named on the menu!

(I think they are automatically being named from "Product Name" in the "Other Version Information" section in properties, but I can't change this.)

Is there any way the shortcut on the menu itself can be renamed?

E.G can I somehow change Firefox Portable so that it just says Firefox, etc.?

How do I uninstall the suite from my flash drive?

Hi,

I have a remote hard drive I access via https (WebDAV). I would like to install portable apps on my remote hard drive. However, when I run the installer, although I'm able to select the drive from the browse window, the Install button is never highlighted (clickable).

Also, I'd map the drive to a letter (as a work-around) but XP doesn't support this, especially when using SSL.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I use PA Suite for 1.5 years already. But only today I noticed the ejection button on the main page and /suite screenshots. I read carefully through the forum and all FAQs , but still couldn't figure out the reason why I don't see that button with any of my pen drives. Please give some kind of explanation ))))))))

I'm not sure if you already have a working solution, but if not, I found an app called USB Disk Ejector. I'm not sure of the quality of the source code for it, but it was written in Delphi, so should be fairly easy to integrate this code into the Menu.

I read that the application currently only works in XP and Vista, but with the team of developers we now have for the menu, it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt to work with other Windows versions as well.

Hi I was wandering if you could give me a hand. I installed DiskHero on PortibleApps but its made lots of icons in the launch menu is there away to reduce this to just one. I would also like to install ThreatFire on PortibleApps as its one of the best heuristics based antivirus programs available. But I can’t get it to work with is it possible. Finally I would like to have these two programs auto start with PortibleApps is this possible?

I really do appreciate the PortableApps program and use it all the time. But, it has been a long time since the Suite has been upgraded. It is still version 1.0. Thus, I just download the base program and then all of the individual updated programs that I want every time I install it on a new flash drive. Mind you, I don't want to sound like I'm whining about a program so useful, well-designed, and dare I say it, FREE. I REALLY appreciate the work that went into creating this marvelous & useful program.
