PortableApps.com Platform

Firstly I am not happy posting this in the open forum I would have prefered a private email with the developer for reasons that will become obvious but as there is no email support here goes.

Portable apps menu CLOSES my F-prot anti virus real time protector DOWN on launch from my USB pendrive.

I am running F-prot for Windows version 3.16f on WinXP SP2 with all updates on an K7S5A based machine with 512Mb RAM and Athlon 1800XP CPU.

This is not an isolated abberation but occurs every time I launch Portable apps menu

Ok so here's my issue I work in IT support for a large corp, using win2000 and Xp, the portable software has been a boon to my job and I am a big fan,,,,,But I am for my sins at home a linux user and will not change to using anything else. Is there a way i can get the ports to work on both systems as I have started using thunderbird and sunbird all the time, can use both on my linux box,

any idea's

Me ofrezco a traducir PortableApps a español, pero no se que debo de hacer.

Si alguien me puede ayudar mi correo es:

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,
