PortableApps.com Platform

Hello,

For the last few months whenever I try to update my apps they fail. Every one I get this message: "The ProtableApps.com website is temporarily inaccessible due to maintenance and the app can not be updated. Please try again later. (File: [appname]_[version]_English.Paf.exe)." Which is an understandable error if it hadn't been this way for months. Anyone know what the problem might be?

I came across this forum post, https://portableapps.com/node/18388, about using the digital signature to check if a file has been downloaded correctly.

I will be travelling to a country that is known to seed incorrect files for known encryption products and browsers. i.e. If you try to download EFF's TOR, you will get a fake version of tor that will install malware instead. This is why there are PGP signatures on the website along with the downloaded files.

- peerblock is not working from c:/program files, such as libre office

good to know BEFORE installing papps.

- papps is often failing to connect application list from the website (no logic reason)

- file association is not working

- no way to start papps with windows

all theses things were promised by papps, so if there is no update to fix it ill just go back to framakey.

I have a portable app, Firefox 28, that I don't want to get updated anymore.

I do not want to change it's path because that would require making adjustments in other apps and the registry to get http/https/url links to open correctly.

Can the PortableApps updater skip an app?

Thanks

After downloading portable apps platfrom to kingston 8gb flash drive, i put a couple of otf and ttf format fonts onto the platfrom's font directory folder inside the Portableapps.com/data/font directory. However, after launching libreoffice from my flash drive, the new fonts did not appear in the fonts list. After a couple of hours, i tried again with no luck. The fonts don't appear on any other programs either. Please tell me how to fix this problem

So I bought a new Sandisk Cruzer today and guess what? I can't eject using the eject button anymore, nor using the old eject script (that one complained about the device not being ejectable). So I look into it and using the old eject script's feature of showing what's running on the USB key, I see that the script has it marked as Fixed.

Hello all!

The platform menu (nice design, by the way!) has four standard folders on the right: Documents, Music, Pictures & Video. I would like to know if it is possible to:
– rename them;
– change their icons (on the folders themselves, and on the PA launcher).

Minor subsidiary point: changing also the Explore icon.

Thanks for your help!

Hello all!

Strange recent problem (everything OK till then): as soon as I launch the platform, ALL my desktop icons disappear (on Win XP 32 bit, SP3). As soon as I close the exe, they are back.
Have I unwittingly triggered some option?

Thanks for your help!

While I saw a few update-related issues in the bug report thread, I'm not sure my issue is covered exactly so forgive me if this is redundant.

Hi! I am on Windows 7. I downloaded Portableapps.com because I want to install fonts on my work computer but it requires an admin password to do so.

I followed the directions found here but when I open Photoshop with Portableapps.com also open, the newly installed fonts are not showing up. I also closed and restarted Portable Apps and PSP, but again, no new fonts. Any ideas?

Thank you!
