PortableApps.com Platform

The search should have an option in what subforum (on what page) to search, at least in the "Advanced search" on the results-page. That would be very useful, as of now, you can't do many forum-related usfeul things with the search. For example I can't search for help for a certain portable app, if I enter the search term, results of any place on the website (or forums if i selected that in advanced search) are displayed. I bet an often use case is to find something on the website in general, anyhow, to be able to use the search for the forums precisely.

I installed the Portable Apps Platform onto my flash drive, as well as the Firefox browser. However, the graphics program I like (Faststone) offers its own portable program, and is not available as a download here at this site. I tried simply copying the folder onto my flash drive, but the PAP does not see this in the flash drive and list it in the index/start menu.

Is there any way to install a non-PAP app onto the USB drive, and have PAP see it so I can have a shortcut in the start menu?

Hi,
many thanks for your work...
I'm using Portable Apps Platform,
one of my Apps is Filezilla.
When I launch it, it says there are updates; but when I check for updates from Platform, it says no updates are available (for any App).
Do you experience the same thing ?
I'm using Filezilla 3.10.1.1 (it says the newest version is 3.11.0.2) ; Platform version is 12.0.5. My OS is Windows 8.1.
Thanks in advance...

Topic: platform management of the parameter / switch at application launch
Description: Topic is focused to identify how to configure the portableapps platform manages to pass parameters (or commonly called switches) at application startup.

On double-clicking "start.exe" on USB drive root, grey portableapps frame appears but program stops there. Popup specifies module not found. ClassID:{56FDF344-FD6D-11D0-958A-006097-C9A090}. This has only appeared since upgrading to 12.05. Have tried to uninstall and reinstall but have the same problem. PC is Windows 7 Pro. Has not been upgraded since August 2014. Thanks

Context Menu Key on the Keyboard is not working.

I've been poking around with search engines to find a solution to this, but due to the perspective of the search terms (portable and self contained), I wasn't successful in finding precisely what I am hunting.

Hi there,
thought I'd make a small contribution...
Using portable apps for a while now as my main apps. That means there's a the strict minimum installed on my c: partition to keep the system clean.
What had been bugging me was that the file association was not integrated in the system. I tried coffee and some others but I prefer a more direct approach, since all my portableApps are permanently on my d: partition. So here's a (little) vbscript to do just that. Tested on win7x64. Edit at your convenience, save in a text file with vbs extension and double-clic.

Windows 10 will contain a new security feature called Device Guard:
"Microsoft's new Device Guard is aimed at blocking zero-day attacks by vetting applications that try to access a Windows 10 machine and its network. It basically blocks any applications that are not signed by specific software vendors, the Windows app store, and an enterprise itself."

Does/Will PortableApps satisfy the Windows 10 criteria for Device Guard?
