PortableApps.com Platform

Portableapps platform 16.0
windows 10 64-bit
JAWS 2019

I just installed portableapps 16.0 on a usb harddrive and was disappointed to discover that the app store context menu is no longer readable by the JAWS screenreader.

When I click (press space/enter) on apps, the context menu pops up but jaws can't read any of the items in the menu.
When I perform the same steps on portableapps 14.0 (the last version I have available, the context menu is completely accessible and reads fine.

Basically, i have modified my autorun.inf to look like this

[Autorun]
Icon=PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Assets\terminal.ico
Label=CygDrive

And i keep getting this error everytime i launch portableapps. How do i supress this? https://i.imgur.com/JD4YIy6.png

I am using Linux Mint and have installed Wine to run Windows programs. I want to use PortableApps on this machine, I haven't found one that I can use as a "native" application in Linux, and the version I have downloaded from the PortableApps website PortableApps.com_Platform-Setup_16.0.2.paf.exe is a paf loader & Wine does not like it. I think what i need is something like PortableApps.com_Platform-Setup_16.0.2.exe as mentioned in the support section in Download & Install. Where can i get it?

Is there a .exe switch or setting somewhere in the program I can use to keep the Platform from auto searching for a network connection when starting? Thanks

Hello !

Is there something (similar to FireFox's synchronisation account) like a central PA synchronisation feature, allowing to automatically keep the same installed apps on all the computers where I've installed PA or am using PA ? My problem is that those computers don't always have permanent Internet access (hence the memory stick) and/or are not fully under my control/exclusive usage, which makes me reluctant to use a cloud service and/or leave my cloud account credentials on these computers.

Thanks for your feedback and advice !

Can somebody please tell me how to make this Platform autostartup when I boot my USB WinPE stick? I have indicated to "Start after Windows boot" or whatever during the install process and I have tried editing the autorun.inf file six ways to Sunday and I just cant seem to get it to autostart upon booting WinPE...it is in a root directory named \Programs. Thanks for any info!

I run portable on several different sticks for several different reasons, depends on whether I am a network tech, hardware/software tech, or just general office drudge. I would like to put a header on the menu page so that I can tell which stick I have loaded without unloading and looking at the label on the underside of the stick.

How can I do this?

Thanks for the help. Love the products.

Hi there.

I accidentally delete the autorun.inf nested inside my "Documents" folder.

So I am left with a boring looking folder icon. I missed the old PortableApps custom icon.

Can someone provide me the contents of the .inf file for the PA custom Documents folder icon?

I want the original one to stay true to PA.

I'd like to install the Platform to make updating easier, but I've already got many portable apps that I installed manually (as standalone apps) without the platform. Is there any way to bring them into the platform without a lot of difficulties?

As i understand a "short cut" to HELP
of a program was added.
But this is not enough since my main problem
is to find a program by its help or use.
General calcification is not enough.

What i did i wrote a Delphi program that shows ALL help
so i can choose a program by knowing what it dose !!!

I miss that kind of help in your software.

P.S if the developer wants my Delphi source i will be glade to share.
