PortableApps.com Platform

Why not have it look for "shortcuts" instead of exe's then when a non PA app is found nearby it would just add the shortcut to the menu - much cleaner.

or maybe a "package factory" type util to make other apps PA friendlier?

For some reason the icons in pam do not work. Ive tried the old version, the default theme, custom themes, and i still don't know what the problem is. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like. Im on xp if u need that info.

Hi all,

Have being using portable Firefox for some time now, and recently made the jump to the full Portable Apps - very nice!

Everything works just fine except there is one problem. Where I work we plug-in different jump drives to the same computer, and thus each user renames the portable drive (right-clicking the drive and selecting "rename").

To give theme designers and end users more choices, I think it would be cool if you could allow the apps section and folders/options section to show either icons , text, or both. We could then design themes that used only text ( some people don't like icons ), or text on the apps section and only icons on the folders/options section. Combined with my idea of adjustable margins this allows a lot of flexibility in theme design.
This would be a setting made in the .ini by the theme designer, and the end user could change them by editing the .ini if they wanted it different.

Hello, I love portableapps, but it wont auto run on my U3 dongle as it is not a .u3p extention any chance of making some kind of shortcut thingy??

Also any way to rename things on the menu?? I put my own stuff in the portableapps folder but it is called shockwave flash and not what it actually is (it is a flash program)

Keep up the good work appers..

hey

i was wondering if you would consider putting the close button on top (or a right click close/shutdown option).

I had a working copy of FF 2.0.0.1 on my 512. I also had its exe. file on the drive.
When I installed the Apps Suite Menu a non-updated copy of FF appeared on the menu.

My drive is locked in that I cannot remove the unwanted copy of FF nor can I get
the Apps Menu to delete as it says it cannot remove FF because it is being used some where else. I stored a copy of my working FF in My Documents and stripped the
drive virtually except I CANNOT delete the Apps Menu. It's beautiful to look at
but PStart worked very well and I never had problems like this. Somehow there are

For accessibility, it would be nice to add a right-click option for PortableApps in Windows Explorer.

This can be done by adding the following lines to the autorun.inf:

Shell\Read1\Command=PortableApps\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe
Shell\Read1=&Start PortableApps

You can have as many pairs as you want for any options. Perhaps have a command here to launch Firefox or Thunderbird.

Forgive me if I'm opening up old wounds, but I was wondering where the source for the menu could be found. I've read though the previous discussions, and didn't find anything, and a quick search over the download and spec. page didn't show and source files or links. Any help in finding this would be great.
