PortableApps.com Platform

Platform ver. 14.4.1
I tested using a custom code in an application and found that:

The Platform alway return a false value for the environment variable %PAL:_IgnoreLanguage% regardless the option of "Use this language for all portable apps" in the platform is tick or not. Same result if the platform is restarted after changing the option.

However in "..\PortableApps.com\Data\PortableAppsMenu.ini" "Localization" section, the key "DisableAppLanguageSwitching" does give a correct value.

There are two things I'd like to adress with my feature request. I keep my PA-Platform synced between two PC's and a Cube i9 Windows Tablet.
Is there a way to make the application list scrollable via touch gestures? I happen to open applications by accident by missing the narrow scrollbar with my fingers.
The second request is a slimmed-down version of the launcher layout. Something like this: http://abload.de/image.php?img=pa0qutd.png
Thanks in advance

Hallo my Dear, hallo folks, we need an little support:

First-time user, first post here.

I installed the Platform, then set Options to list apps smart, by category, only installed apps, open-source apps, expand categories by default. All I get is an alphabetical list of apps. What am I missing?

"Customization of the folders' (Documents, etc) name, icon and location to open..." is "Confirmed Coming In An Upcoming Release"
However I need it now as I am transitioning friends and family from ASuite which has this facility.
So I have knocked up a little app in a compiled NSIS Script which takes the required folder from an INI file and calls Explorer.
Download it from here to give it a try:

Is a PA USB stick bootable?

it is not possible to update/install pdf-Xchange viewer nor editor.
can somebody help me?

I'm still using Windows XP on my 2 machines, so my user folder location is:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER-NAME\Application Data

Correct me if I am wrong, but with my Portable-Apps Platform installed and being
ran from a USB Flash Drive, each time I plug it in and run it, doesn't it make and
use a folder inside my Windows/USER directory, such as I stated above ?

If it does not, then disregard this entire post, with apologies.

To open this subject again, when I cancel downloading of a specific program, it affects all subsequent downloads and corrupts their installations.

Surely there is a better way.

Hi,
I'm currently running Firefox 53.0.2 Rev2. Firefox 53.0.3 was released on May 19:
https://portableapps.com/news/2017-05-19--firefox-portable-53.0.3-released

But I'm not prompted to update when I start up the Platform (even though the corresponding advanced option is checked) or when I manually check for updates.

What's going on?
Chris
