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?
# Using 12.0.5
Hi,
When changing network from the company's WLAN network to the company's wired network, the platform issues an error dialog:
PortableApps.com Platform
(X) External exception C0000006.
(OK)
The platform window is still visible, but I can start no new applications.

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:
AutoRun PortableappePlatefores Start.exe as soon as i plug my drive into any computer. is there a way to do this so all i have to do is plug it in and it starts the program i am on windows 8 if that matters?
If you're going to change the built in colors of the interface, as is indicated in the change log to 12.0.5, you should at least include customer colors (which was hinted at as coming in another post while I was looking for an answer). There is nothing more personal than color when it comes to someone's interface, and changing the blue color from a nice dark blue, to robins eg blue... is totally lame.
how can i change the icons on the right hand side
i.e
documents
music
pictures
videos

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?
Regards
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
