PortableApps.com Platform won't start application

Submitted by cimenta on November 10, 2014 - 9:22pm

hi

yesterday I downloaded and installed the platform v12.0.5 build 7601. It's running on Win7 64 bit.

I have installed two applications 7zip and Synkron. Synkron got the option "Start Automatically" ticked. When I start my computer the platform starts but Synkron doesn't. If I quit the platform and start it manually Synkron starts. Is that a bug or I have to do something to have Synkron start automatically?

Q2) is there any way so the Platform and be running have no icon in task bar?

Thank you
R.

[Fixed] Chrome Portable Beta 39.0.2171.52 or .42?

Submitted by SES21 on November 7, 2014 - 10:29am

The platform updater gets a 404 error trying to download the latest version of Chrome Beta from SF; same problem trying to download directly from the Chrome Portable page. It's asking for .52 but the file name on SF is .42. TIA for fixing it!

ETA: [Fixed] Someone cured it but didn't reply & I didn't want to leave it out there looking open still!

installation! (not)

I downloaded the platform (12.0.5) but when I went tp oprn the apps, it was empty. I also got an error saying the program couldn't connect with portableApps.com to get my apps. I did this WHILE connected to the download site. WTF! What am I doing wrong? I found another usb drive with PA on it and when I opened it, I got the same message. I KNOW I have apps and data on it but can't get at it. What am I doing wrong?

[PA.c Installer 3.0.15 ] A bug in online installer?

Submitted by 5keeve on November 5, 2014 - 7:45am

I've created an online installer containing this download section shown at the bottom.

Unfortunately I'm behind a firewall and so have to use a proxy. PortableApps is configured properly and can successfully download new applications.

But my Installer, created with PortablApps.com Installer 3.0.15 is not able to download.

As the details didn't tell me much (SendRequest Error), I've used wireshark to sniff the network traffic. It seems there is something going wrong. Please see a snapshot at http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/wwwdbviscomppiewh972ql.png

Auto Software Update on Startup

Submitted by DaffyDCL on October 16, 2014 - 4:03pm

Hi,
I would really like a setting to auto update programs on startup. I use papps to keep software up to date on some youth club computers and in some local high schools and it would be much easier if I could just set it to update whenever it is started. Hopefully I am not missing a setting that does this already Smile
Thanks!

Cannot add custom apps

Submitted by tyrl on October 2, 2014 - 8:57am

Hi,

I'd created a folder name Light Image Resizer, put all relevent files inside (tested working) and move it under \PortableApps folder.

However, it didn't show up in the platform menu at all. I'd tried F5 and refresh app icon thingy.

Any ideas?

PA-Launcher 10th icon looks wired

Submitted by humbug on September 24, 2014 - 3:33am

I created an own theme based on the default one. I also assigned new icons to the categories which i renamed before.
Now the problem: the icon of the 10th category looks wired although it`s the same icon like for all the other categories. If i take another icon and give it the same name like the category has, it`s the same. No matter which name the category has or which icon i assign...this one always has no alpha and seems to be stretched.

This is how it looks:
