PortableApps.com Platform

Hello, everyone.
I was installing the latest version of PortableApps.com, but this software couldn't find my cloud softwares like Google Drive, and Box. So... Do you know how to fix this problem? Or how can I install this?
Thanks in advance.

as stated, when i update check, it wishes to update a program that's not installed. the culprit is jportable 8 update 66. i used to have this installed, but had uninstalled it. apparently, something is left that is causing this. i snooped around the folders to try and spot something to erase manually, but didn't find anything. does anyone know (to focus my search) which folder etc i should look in to spot the left overs? i checked the default data, the bin etc, but no obvious name jumps out at me.

I have tried to add an application to the PortableApps menu, however, the top level folder contained only a folder called Browser and a shortcut to an executable in the Browser folder. However, the shortcut name did not appear in the menu.

I copied calculator.exe into the same folder and it did appear in the menu, as expected.

Please allow a the name of a shortcut to appear in the menu as well as the name executable files.

Ciao. Love the minimalism of the menu system in PA. Its a very good piece of software design.

I have three requests, based on long term use.

1 - Make the menu box have STRETCHABLE length so that you can see more items without needing to scroll.

2 - I would really like a SECOND TIER of categories. So there would be Categories and Sub-Categories under them if you needed that. As the number of portable apps I am using increases all the time I am finding the single-tier category system is not quite enough to organise efficiently.

I am new to PortableApps. I would like to find out if there is any easier way of logging application usage for PortableApps.

## Senario
Let us say I have a USB drive with 10 portable applications; how would I go about logging timestamps when specific PortableApps were launched? I spent the last couple of hours poking around utility applications but non of them seem to be a perfect fit for what I want.

I would ideally want the access logs to be stored on USB drive.

Hello,

Periodically when I launch my Portable Apps platform, all my applications can't access their config files and open with default settings. I noticed the PortableApps directory has read-only folders and even when I give them write access they still are read-only. I have this behavior on Windows 7 and 10 and Windows 7 gave me a compatibility error and offered to run PortableApps Launcher in compatibility mode.

Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it? Having a development platform not remembering its config settings is a big problem.

After installing LibreOffice 5.0.2.2, I found that the PortableApps.com Platform menu is missing LibreOffice Writer and the LibreOffice main application (LibreOfficePortable.exe). Only Base, Calc, Draw, Impress, and Math are offered. Would be nice getting this corrected.

Thank you very much!

Hello,

It would like to see this app higher DPI compatible.

The problem is, i use my laptop all the time, and because it has Full HD display, i have to set a higher DPI to make everything bigger.

Thank you.

When I try to install Apache OpenOffice via the Portable Apps Menu, the dowbload fails due to a 404 error. However, the correspondig link at the Portable Apps website (App -> Office -> Apace OpenOffice Portable) works flawlessly. I think the Portable Apps platform app needs to be updated.

Every time I boot and launch PortableApps menu, the About dialog pops up with the What's New tab selected. I unstand how this could be useful as a one-time action after an update but not every time. How do I stop this. Getting annoying.
