PortableApps.com Platform

I like portableapps very much, but I have few suggestions about portableapps platform.

1. On WinXP when portableapps platform start menu is not visible it is not shown in the taskbar, only in tray icon, on Win7 it is always visible in the task bar. Please make an option to hide icon from taskbar.

2. Make mouse down animation for buttons (apps, options, search, help) the fact that I press the button and don't see it is pressed is very frustrating.

Hallo!

Is it possible to add a portable Software which is just copied into the PotableApps file to the menu if the .exe of the Software (lets call it MySoftware) is not located in \PortableApps\MySoftware\, so if ist for example located like this \PortableApps\MySoftware\Somefile\MySoftware.exe.

I have several apps that aren't available via PortableApps, but they're available as portables elsewhere. These are

- Bulk Rename Utility
- Defraggler
- InstantEyedropper
- MD5 and SHA Checksum Utility
- StartKiller

As long as I have the EXE file in the top directory of the app's folder, it shows up in the apps list in PAP. But, will PAP automatically check for updates for these apps or do I still have to manually do so?

Hi John,

is there a property to set the portable apps menu position?

Kind regards,

Only update some apps, not all. I get an error message that say "impossible download file" what is the problem?

I am wondering, I have started using the Portable App launcher for a little bit, and I love it however, there is one problem. The program dose not start up apron being pluged into a Windows PC, and the option to run the program is not available, is there anything that I can do to change this??
(Auto play sees the device and asks to run portable App launcher, Or start.exe)

Hello,

I have Windows 10 and shutting down the PC via the keyboard requires more key presses than in Windows 7:

• Windows 7: {Windows} {Right Arrow} {Right Arrow} {Enter}
• Windows 10: {Windows} {Up Arrow} {Up Arrow} {Enter} {Down Arrow} {Down Arrow} {Enter}

The Portable Apps Platform can be opened using {Ctrl}+{Alt}+{Space}
Here I have at the right bottom the "Power Off" button.
Is there a fast way to access this button using the keyboard?

Greetings

SpeedyFox Portable is not downloading through the Portable Apps application. Also, I am receiving a "The connection was reset error when attempting to download manually from the portableapps.com website.

As I've experienced similar issues before, please let me know if this is not the correct or best forum/venue.

Thank you,

BH

I copied my PortableApps files from a workstation to a laptop. While both are on the same network MOST of the time I also have the ability to attach the laptop to a DSL line for external testing.

Just made my annual donation and I got to thinking whether the Platform development stalling (we were to have monthly updates after 12.05 was released in September last year, https://portableapps.com/news/2014-09-10--portableapps.com-platform-12.0...) has any bearing on the amount of donations.
