PortableApps.com Platform

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.

Hi, I just installed PortableApps, and it is great, but the above menu items don't seem to do anything. Does anybody know why that is?

Getting so many apps running portable (on USB) I'd had to stop using the menu and just browse the folder structure to run them.

I'd love to see the features in the new version... any ETA?

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

Hi. It's worked a couple of times but now shows as blank, ie no apps shown when I open the menu. Any ideas?
Thanks.

it is possible to subdivide the menu on the left in sub-folder
uniforms for tipologie ?
for example:
folder Internet (all the relative programs for Internet)
folder Music (all the programs to modify and to listen to music)
folder System (all the programs to manage the system)
folder emergency (all progammi antivirus and the AntiSpam)

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?

The problem I am facing defies logic:

My menu works perfectly on my Vista Laptop, but now all the buttons (video, Music, etc...) freeze when I press them on my XP Desktop!
It was still working fine a week ago, and no changes occurred in the meantime.

I tried reinstalling the menu, I even tried your patch for "below-xp" PCs.

I don't know what to do now, and what makes me annoyed is that I really can't understand the problem.

I love this project, I think its fantastic!
I have use of PC's and MAC's so I am interested to know if there is any possibilty of a MAC portable apps in the future? Camino instead of Firefox etc?

I have often thought about downloading all the apps on the site, and putting them on disk in case they are needed anytime. I have older versions of some of the apps, and I am using them in this way, and they have often proved useful, especially if I need quick acess to a file and I am unable to download an alternative pogram.
