PortableApps.com Platform

The Autorun.inf file in my USB's root directory does not seem to have an effect on the computers I insert the USB drive into. It does not change the icon for the drive with the one of the PortableApps Menu icon, and the drive doesn't get assigned the label name.

I have tried this mainly on 3 machines and the pattern I'm seeing is that the first time you insert the USB drive into the computer everything shows up ok (meaning the settings are being read from the autorun.inf file), but on subsequent insertions the settings aren't read.

Hello all,

Is there a way to remove the PortableApps.com menu overlay? Clarification: the title bar at the top of the portable apps menu. I have found how to edit the background and icons, however in my search of the portable app package and the forum noone seems to have done this. Let me know if it is possible.

Thanks

Hi All.
I install multilang Gimp Portable to my USB stick.
Now I need only two languages (English and Russian).

The size of GIMPPortable folder is 42 625 573 bytes.
Who can tell me witch files I can delete for reduse size?

Thanx.

Thanx for author(s) for this great utility

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).
