MENU - Requests

Submitted by BeaBonobo on October 20, 2015 - 9:56am

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.

Access Logs for PortalApps Applications

Submitted by lightonphiri on October 17, 2015 - 1:15pm

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.

Portable Apps Config

Submitted by behofmann on October 12, 2015 - 10:26am

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.

Portable Apps access violation

When I launch portable apps on any computer (Windows 7 and 10) and on any flash drive I have (Freshly formatted or not, has files on it already or not). I am getting a bunch of errors from this platform. At some point I had a file access denied. But currently here is the setup and error it is giving me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Setup
On Windows 7 Desktop
Sandisk 16GB flash drive (just formatted, file system is Fat32)
Just installed the platform, no apps installed, first launch

Download Error : File open error

Submitted by RobDownUnder on October 2, 2015 - 5:46am

PS I am sure that I tried turning off Avast the other day when attempting this, and I still got the error
However this time (2nd attempt) I tried using 'Run as' to run 'Start.exe' and I unticked 'Protect my computer and data from unauthorised activity'
That still got the error.
However I just did both (unticked and had Avast switched off), and I had SUCCESS

Donated

Submitted by emartens on September 30, 2015 - 3:31pm

Hi

Thanks for the great app and apps.
I have done a donation in the previous version and all was successful.
However after the upgrade to version 12.2 it asks me to donate again...??

Is this normal behavior??

Regards,

Ed Martens
