PortableApps.com Platform

how can i change the icons on the right hand side
i.e
documents
music
pictures
videos
explore

as well as have the downloads folder icon appear at the top right instead of just being a black square?

After a reboot I get this message. When I look at the folder it should be in everything (file names and extensions) everything is gobbledygook. Random characters and symbols of all types. Should I just delete the folder and re-install? I did have an unscheduled shut-down on my Win 7 machine which must have corrupted the flash drive?

I attempted to install 12.0.5 on an external USB HD. Everything went OK. I realized that it found some old portable apps that I did not want to have installed anymore. I attempted to delete them, but must have made some mistake.

Now I cannot close or exit the Platform. Whenever I attempt this, I get a dialog box that says "There are no more files." The box has an OK button that closes the box. However, press "OK" only closes the box. The Platform is still in my tool tray. The only way to get rid of the Platform is to kill it with Task Manager.

Hi,

12.0.5 has a feature as you say: "adds the ability to optionally add the platform to your PC's start menu/tiles". How to enable this feature?

Thank you

After starting the platform the updater is running and blocking everything. It can be killed only by electrically closing the PC. Windows shut down, TaskManager and Unlocker do not help. It even seems to me that it destroyed the raid of volume D while the platform was running on C (an SSD).

This is true for an updated existing platform (11.2), for starting PortApps after restart of the PC and for starting a fresh installed platform.

Greetings,

I used PortableApps.com Platform when it was first released and now I am once again.
It's very well done and excellent work.

This is either a feature request or an "is this currently possible" thing.

Is it possible to increase the global font size (I do already have Use Larger Fonts enabled)?
How about the font family? Can that be changed?
And what about the icon sizes for apps?

As far as the font settings, the only place that I could think to look was in PATheme.ini but I'm suspecting that this would be somewhere deeper in the source code.

Hello.
I can't to update my PortableApps Platform to 12.0.4.
I've got this Reget error (from sourceforge.net) message. Have a look. Thanks anyway.

Portable TEMP Directory - If you create a directory called TempForPortableApps in the same directory as Start.exe ('next to' the PortableApps and Documents directories), the platform will use that as the TEMP directory for all apps it launches. Note that any local apps launched from the platform or its apps will also use this as TEMP, so use with caution!

what is the reason for caution? is it a drive/disk space issue?

Hi,

Can anyone confirm the following:

PortableAppsMenu.ini:

[Search]
HideSearchWhenNotInUse=True

SEARCH BAR, AT THE TOP OF THE MENU NOT HIDING (ALSO NOT AT STARTUP!)
I am using the latest version of PortableApps.com 12.03

Thanx in advance

My USB drive (Sandisk Extreme 32gb) mounts as a local drive. The 12.0.2 update no longer lets me eject it via the launcher, instead it gives me the logout dialog.

Would it be possible to add an override option? Doesn't have to be in the GUI, this situation is rare enough that an INI option would probably suffice.
