PortableApps.com Platform

This may be way too soon, because we are due soon for a PAM update from John.

I'll ask anyway.

It should be possible to have the PAM "install" a .paf.exe folder directly to the PortableAppsMenu folder and overwrite the DefaultData folder right?

Of course someone would have to have the latest release of PAM, but I though this might be easier to change themes.

I have created a new menu theme/skin for PAM.

The Kazoo Spartan

I downloaded PortableApps last week and since then I love it, now I read on the forums that there are templates and localization files, but the portableappmenu.exe program does not seems to read the files at all

So what Im missing??

I have created a more basic theme template for use with GIMP.

Thanks to Ryan for hosting it.

The Kazoo Spartan

I ordered a 4GB SanDisk Cruiser with U3 on Friday morning. Last night, Last night I thought, "Da! I have an iPod!" There is 14GB free on my 60GB iPod Photo. I've installed the suite and it very works and and Firefox starts up faster.

The only thing is that PAM doesn't auto-start like it does on my 128MB Dell thumb drive. On the Dell TD, I only have Firefox, PuTTY, PortableBacup, and PAM. Is there a way I can get PAM to auto-start when the iPod is plugged in?

First, I would like to say that the PortableApps Suite is a beautiful piece of work. I never imagined I would be carrying the majority of what I use on my keychain. The main problem I do have with it is that after getting all of my apps on the usb stick, I have quite a menu to scroll through to launch them. For the sake of simplicity I have switched to using PStart due to the ability to group shortcuts in a similar layout to the normal Windows start menu.

John,
Could we have a menu theme forum?

It seems to be a quite popular topic right now. Some of the threads are getting quite long. It might be easier if Theme's or Menu Customization was in it's own forum. Does Drupal support sub forums?

Support Forums-
-PortableApps Menu
-Themes

Or it might even go into the development as its own forum. Might help promote also if it was easier to find things. Search theme and you will get 17 pages of results.

It appears that I'm running too many portable apps on my memory stick, and the menu doesn't have any scroll bars for me to see the programs that don't fit onto the menu. Is this a bug or user incompetance?

Is the source code available for the Menu Programs? I've been looking, and can't seem to find it. Thanks.
