Setting up PortableApps

Submitted by nikost4 on March 17, 2008 - 1:49pm

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?

When will the suite be updated?

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.

Changing an App path

Submitted by deivisvieira on March 11, 2008 - 7:35pm

Hello, I did a little search here and couldn't find what I am looking for, so here it is.

I got this Firebird language extension installed. But in order to activate it, I gotta use a shortcut using the -UILocale thing at the end, and it works perfectly.
But now there it is, from the PApps menu I can't open the shortcut, even if I rename it to the same name as the usual .exe file...if there was only a way to change the path to my shortcut, it would be perfect.

Thanks in advance

i hope this is the right section to post this in, i wanted to ask why the portable apps suite requires you to install the exe instead of just adding an exe to the list. i also would like to know where the confinguration file i hear about is. all i see in options drop down box is install or remove app.

transfering applications

Submitted by eddie234 on March 1, 2008 - 1:41pm

Greetings,
I've tried searching but had no luck. I am running out of room on my current thumbdrive and I've purchased a new larger GB one. what's the easiest way to transfer everything from my old one to my new one so all my settings and preferences stay the same. Will the backup function work? or could I just copy and paste them?
Thanks,
Ed

Autorun.inf - Yes I read the topics

Submitted by xLostSoulx on February 28, 2008 - 6:31pm

I have read the other topics and I still can't get it to work, currently I have:

[Autorun]
UseAutoPlay=1
Open=.\AutoRun.exe
icon=StartPortableApps.exe
Label=Keith's Flash Drive
Action=Start PortableApps

It works, because it's renamed to Keith's Flash Drive, but it still doesn't load the application.

Got any ideas?
