Update request

Submitted by ElSid on June 11, 2014 - 10:56am

I've been downloading individual packages for years. I finally decided to give the platform a try. Overall, I am pleased; however, when it updates, it does not allow for the package that is being updated to be saved. I've already run into a problem where an update is buggy and want to revert, so I keep the last package and the new package on my USB. Would you please make it an option to save the update package to the USB.
Thank you

Laggy Platform

Whenever I start the PA.c Platform on my home computer, it takes a while to load up (30 seconds or more) and it takes longer than normal to scroll through my apps. Is there any way I can reduce or eliminate this lag? I have all of my programs installed on it so this is a major problem for me.

I don't know if this is supposed to go in another forum, but I have several feature requests for the PortableApps.com Platform.

  • Custom color variation
  • Local desktop icons replaced with Portable App icons
  • Ability to close all applications/app processes running from the drive upon platform exit
  • Sorry if I listed anything on the platform upcoming feature list.

Proxy Work on PortableApps.com Platform 12.0 Beta 3/3.1

It seems that the proxy settings are still not working properly in the new 12.0 Beta 3/3.1/3.2 releases. In the current release, it's been discovered that the /CONNECTION= is being set to PROXY instead of Proxy, so that's going to be fixed in Beta 3.3/4. But it's still not working, so I'm setting up this new thread to keep track of things. I've moved the relevant comments over here as well.

PortableApps.com Menu Framework

Submitted by behofmann on May 14, 2014 - 10:24am

Hello,

The PortableApps platform has been a great asset to my development environment. I have it installed on a USB 3.0 Solid State Flash Drive and USB 3.0 Toshiba Hard Drive.

When using the PortableApps platform on my hard drive, it periodically disconnects and causes all open applications to hang forcing a reboot. Is there some setting or anomaly in the PortableApps platform or a Windows OS setting to keep the PortableApps platform from disconnecting?

Desktop Icons

A setting that allows you to have the host computers desktop be stored somewhere else or hidden somehow. And then you would have a portable apps desktop where anything you added to the desktop would be saved on the portable apps drive. It would be really convenient to have the same desktop everywhere. This could be integrated quite nicely with the portableapps wallpapers. So the desktop would be the same.

Deeper Sub-Folders

Submitted by Chaos_Therum on May 11, 2014 - 11:59pm

I would really love to be able to create sub folders under the main categories for example something like.

Internet
--Web Browsers
----Firefox
--Communication
----Thunderbird
--Downloading
----Qbittorrent
etc.

I think that it would really help people in organizing all of their apps.
