Installing and using portable apps platform and apps

Submitted by Pat625 on April 20, 2015 - 7:59pm

I installed the Portable apps platform 12.05 and the Portable Gimp app as instructed into my onedrive from my PC. Usin the platform on my PC works fine. I cannot get the platform or the Gimp apps to start from onedrive. I have loaded, removed, reloaded both many times with no results.
How can you use the apps on other computers or the cloud? I cannot find any exe files on the apps one onedrive to get it started.

Crash Accompanied by Error Dialogue

Submitted by Captain Nemo on April 11, 2015 - 9:27am

Occasionally the platform will crash and I get this error.
"Cannot open file
X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\MenuCategories\Other.png
The system cannot find the file specified."
It's certainly there, I've checked.
I have to restart my computer because the dialogue wont go away by closing it, another just pops up.
Sometimes I also get this dialogue box.
"frmDialogue
lblMessage
lblMessage2"
In a window with an okay button and cancel button, neither do anything.

Can't back up portableapps.com from Dropbox

Submitted by quangkhuedinhdo on April 1, 2015 - 12:09am

I installed the portableapps.com at dropbox driver. I also installed portable apps that are not from portableapps.com at dropbox. Today, I want to use portabledapps.com at USB driver with the same apps that was installed at dropbox.

I think that is impossible to backup from dropbox then restore at USB driver. But I can't although I check "Complete (all file on your portable driver)" in backup window. The backup process was not complete.

I try to copy portableapps.com then paste to USB driver but it is very slow and I do not believe that is the right way.

Java based apps not launching after update to jPortable_8_Update_40.paf.exe

Submitted by HaaiHenkie on March 19, 2015 - 1:57pm

Hello all,

I since yesterday I was not able to launch the following Java apps:

  • ProjectLibre Portable
  • Freeplane Portable
  • Eclipse Portable

This happened after upgrading to jPortable 8 Update 40. It was just the portable launchers, I could still start the apps by double clicking the executables in the subdirectory of App.
After downgrading to jPortable 8 Update 31 the problem disappeared.
Something not correct in release of jPortable 8 Update 40?

Best regards,

Henk

There is a bug with the pinned PortableApps Icon and Menu (it may or may not be confined to Windows 8 but I believe not)/
I find I need to click the icon in the Notification Area (formerly SysTray) to bring the Menu to the front and over the top of foreground windows as double-clicking on my Start.exe link pinned to QuickLaunch fails to do so.
