PortableApps.com Platform

Hi,

My PAM isn't displayed correctly. All the buttons (e.g. the programs list, document, video, help, search buttons) are all coloured black. When I hover over the buttons it changes into the colour that would normally be correct. It also doesn't look to be the 'New' PAM. In the screenshot the 'New' PAM has icons for the documents, etc., and more importantly it has an eject button too.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.

Maybe you could have an option to minimize to the tray?
May be useful for some people.

Thanks

I find PortableApps suberb og would like to use it instead of U3. but U3 has a password protection option that makes the U3-usb secure until the password has been entered. It's the one and only detail that makes me hesitate and change completely to PortableApps.
Does there exist a similar password protection for the PortableApps?

i love portable apps menu but when i click on it i want it to start in tray icon and not to pop up like it normally does, is there any way to do that? thank you

P.S. it would be nice if in the new update they added a small litte menu when you right click it to exit, or open.

Hi all,

It seems to me there ought to be a "Downloads" folder within the "Documents" folder that the PortableApps suite installer builds - I often download files from the web onto my USB drive while I'm at the office for use at home, and vice versa.

If there's interest, I built a "desktop.ini" file and an icon that is thematically similar to those already in use, which I'd be happy to donate.

Is there a way to have Portable Apps Menu update automatic of all the apps?

doesn't start apps.

How about checking OS and use Wine to launch apps if needed?

I am now using everything on XP, Vista, and Ubuntu. Plus I have Ubuntu able to run live (and somewhat slower) from my USB drive if I am on a Windows machine. Don't get me wrong, most of my work is still in Windows, but Ubuntu/Wine seems to run everything well, which I manually locate and right click and choose open with Wime. Since these are also open source, free (portable) apps they would seem to be a good match with portableapps.

Aloha,

Rich

I always pop open email as soon as I start up PAM - there a way to have that happen automagically?

The video folder from portable apps menu should be changed to "videos", to make it more compatible with u3, so that there will be only one folder for videos, instead of a folder called video (portable apps menu), and one called videos (u3). Or could someone provide a link to a program that can lock the flashdrive like u3 does, so I can get rid of u3.

Portable apps seems to work fine on 50% of the computers that I use it on and most recently was working fine on computer at work (win NT 2000 i belive) yesterday and today I get the error unalbe to start must program must restart. I am able to run all apps on thumb drive just not protalbe apps menu. Still works fine on home PC and wife's PC both XP pro. Any suggestions?
