PortableApps.com Platform

Hi !

I run the platform for a year now, but suddenly I get an error message after starting the platform. A dialog with a "red X" titled "PortableApps.com Platform" and saying "The specified file was not found."

How can I find out whats going wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Windows 10 Home 64-bit [Build: 10240]
PortableApps.com Platform 12.1
Installation Path: C:\Users\reinhold\Suites\PortableApps

I wanted to pin my favorite apps to the taskbar:
Firefox
Q-Dir
Notepad++

As it wasn't possible to pin the launchers (e.g PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\NotepadPortable.exe) directly, I created shortcuts to those programs on my desktop and pinned the shortcuts to the taskbar, this worked allright.

What is the best file system to use on a drive for portable apps drive, i have it set for NTFS system, however, i an curios on if there is a better file system that is faster an benefits the portable apps drive ?

I wish there is an option in PortableApps Platform to save *.paf.exe file when installing or updating apps.
Also an option to auto remove old *.paf.exe file when updating.
Thank you for your kind attention.

I'm having trouble updating both Chrome and Skype - it appears that the SonicWALL Gateway AV now considers SourceForge's injected adware worthy of blocking. ("This request is blocked by the SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus Service. Name: InstallCore.A_43 (Adware)")

SF used to be great, but these days...any chance you guys will be switching to less scummy project hosting soon?

Hello,

is there a chance to start "something" when platform is started and ended/ejected?

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,
