PortableApps.com Platform

I dont really have much knowledge about this but heres the problem.

I wanted to put some games in the menu, and one of my favorite games is the freeware game called little fighter 2...

I copied it to the usb drive\portableapps\LF2

I doubleclicked the exe and the game worked perfectly... BUT when opened from the Menu the game comes with an error... Do you know if i can solve this problem in any way?

This isn't much but i just wanted to comment on the PortableApps menu and folders. All the folders in the Documents folder are in the plural tense except the video folder. Don't you think video should be plural too? This isn't a big deal but i was just wondering if anyone else noticed or cares.

I am on a school computer that lets me run programs off my drive, but has the system tray lock out (or doesn't show on the bar)

How can I access the programs that are running, without the system tray?

On some computers, the memory bar at the bottom of the menu shows the correct location of the thumb drive. But on my computer, it shows the C: drive. What causes this? what can I do to fix it? My computer is a HP running XP SP1.

Hi,

Since I have most of the portable applications found here at portableapps.com it's getting pretty messy.

So if there could be an option to group selected applications under a specific category that would be great!

Don't you think?

I use Synctoy as a way to backup my portable drive (I simply back up the entire drive so I don't have to reinstall each program as well as any data I have on the drive). So yesterday I decided to test out my backup. I made a backup (using echo mode) then proceded to format the drive and lastly copy and pasting all of the files and folders from the backed up folder to my drive.

I have looked and searched, but cannot find anyone else requesting this, so....

How about a feature to be able to 'categorise' the portable apps into sub-menus (as PStart can do). At present I run over 40 apps from my thumb drive and it would be so nice to be able to have sub-menus for Graphics progs, SQL progs, Viewer progs, AntiVirus progs, etc, etc

2 questions, one for John, the other for everyone.

Nummer Eins:
How about putting a development team with access to the Subversion repository to work together on the next version of the menu?

Nummer Zwei:
If said team was put together, who would volunteer to be on it?

Hi all,

It's my first post on portableapps forums although I use portable applications since a long time ago...

I recently downloaded and installed the Portable Apps, installbase version, in order I hoped, to replace the PStart software I used to start programs from my usb stick.
The problem is that this PortableAppsMenu is apparently very graphical and as I'm blind, I cfan not see the screen content and so use it.
I work with a screen reader under windows in order to read the screen and interact with the various programs I Use.

Hello all

I was sorry to see that there is still no update to the PortableApps Menu app. At this point i wish to ask if there is any other app with similar functionality that one might try.

Also, i can only wonder about the future of this project. Without any doubt, John's work is a life-saver. Yet, the fact that applications are not being updated in a predictable manner leads to fears.

Would John care to clarify on the project's status?
