PortableApps.com Platform

Is there any way currently to have more than 20 items on the menu in PAM? I've just run up against this limit. I added my 21st app to my drive, and it wouldn't show up in PAM until I got rid of something else (in this case, by renaming the .exe's on a couple of OpenOffice bits I never use).

Thanks.

The PortableApps Menu will currently allow an arbitrary number of instances to start. This means that if I double-click StartPortableApps.exe (I often do this instinctively to show the menu, since I used to do it with PStart whenever it was more convenient than clicking the tray icon). Instead, the menu should check for an existing instance, and if one is found, just tell the existing instance to show the menu.

Under Vista, the Music, Pictures, and Video folders aren't subfolders of Documents, but are instead sister folders. It'd be nice to have the same layout with PortableApps. Perhaps you could make Documents, Music, Pictures, and Video subfolders of the same folder, e.g. "Personal Files". The Vista layout really is superior.

It is a very high-quality product, but it takes forever to release another version.

@John - Any release dates or milestones to accomplish?

In the official screenshots of the PortableApps Menu, there are two buttons on the bottom right: Close, and something else (looks like an Eject button). Yet, after installing the menu on my 2GB Sony MicroVault, all I see is the Close button. What's up?

Granted, I'm probably the only person in the world still running at this resolution, but I figured I'd bring it up anyway. At 800x600, the very top of the PortableApps menu gets cut off, which doesn't look all that nice. Any possibility you could shrink it a bit, John? I personally think it's too big for a "portable" menu, anyway.

First off, great job on the suite and app portablization. (if that is a word)
I searched the forums and the closest i noticed was someone mentioning about having in the taskbar vs system tray. I'd like to request that your next revision include an option to keep it from fading when i click on other windows, and maybe an always on top option. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Hi @all,

because there are a lot of question for new themes an how to get them into the menu I've created a qick and easy way to change the menu theme from the menu without changing the existing exe or manual copies.

First Download the themes (en-en Installer) or Download the themes (de-de Installer).
At the moment only the colored themes by smithtech and he default theme by John are included.

I have downloaded some of the themes for The PortableApps Menu as I prefer some of them to the red colour. However, transferring then to the PortableApps folder on my databar didn't work. Can somebody help me to apply the theme of my choice?

Thanking you in anticipation
