Rename won't work

Submitted by kirschplunder on December 6, 2007 - 5:40am

I downloaded the mod v. r30 of the PortableApps menu, and tried to rename apps, but when I later restarted the menu the old name is there again, any solutions?
I tried with back up and stuff but it won't work.

non-scrolling menu model preferred

Can PAM have an optional menu model like 'Windows -> Start -> All Programs' where you can see all your programs and categories/folders, and simply hovering on and off a category/folder causes it to automatically expand and collapse?

I am still using ASuite because it works this way.

When you have a lot of programs in PAM, even if you categorize them in one of the mods, finding them takes a lot of mouse clicks, or key presses, scrolling (and expanding and collapasing if using a mod) and it is like looking at the world through binoculars.

Portable apps do not install

Submitted by newbie on December 1, 2007 - 3:28pm

I downloaded and installed the Standard Suite. It installed perfectly on a freshly formatted drive. Then I started download more apps like 7zip, Eraser, Keepass, etc. I put them on the root of the jump drive, then went to the PA.com menu and told it to install each of them. A dos screen comes up for a fraction of a second, then nothing else happens. Period. I have told it to install, gone out for dinner, and come back to find nothing added to my menu. Obviously something isn't working right. I have tried each program (and tried freshly re-Dling them from this website) with no success.

PortableApps Menu

I wondered if it wouldn't come in handy if the PortableApps Menu would have an eject button, instead of a close button.
This way you could easily eject the USB drive if you want to.
If you programmers really love that big closing button, I'd be satisfied with a right-click-on-the-tray-icon menu, in which the option of ejecting the USB drive can be found.
One more thing about the closing button, does it have to stop the application? I always have the intention to click it when I want to close the menu.

PApps Menu with Win2000

Submitted by Matty on November 27, 2007 - 2:24pm

I've just started trying to use PortableApps on with Win2k and can't get it to work. It just says:

PortableAppsMen.exe has generated errors and will be closed.....

I searched for this error, and found a thread that says that the bug should have been fixed in a prior version. So should it be working then???

(I should get a newer computer, I know...)

Make portable apps cross platform

Submitted by toucher5 on November 23, 2007 - 12:13pm

I enjoy using portable apps. However I can only use it on Windows machines. I use Ubuntu Linux on my laptop. I would like to see portable apps being able to be cross platform compliant. Just thought that I would throw that idea out. I would like to suggest this to my customers that come to [link removed] but if they use anything other than windows it won't work.
