PortableApps.com Platform

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.

Help! I am running the PortableApps.com Platform version 12.01 on 64-bit Windows (browse here for the screenshot: http://snag.gy/HbmB4.jpg).

Often times when I try to exit the Portable Apps platform I get the warning message "The following Portable Apps are still running..." (browse here for the screenshot: http://snag.gy/X3Q1J.jpg). When this happens I cannot close the PortableApps.com Platform normally; I instead have to use Windows Task Manager to end the "PORTABLEAPPSPLATFORM.EXE *32" process manually.

Hi john,

is it currently possible to configure the position and size of the personal picture? I couldn't find any settings.

Kind regards,

Hi,

How about "adding shortcut to portableapps menu" feature

See following post

Is it possible to make a Windows Shortcut (EXE file with custom parameters) compatible with the PortableApps platform?

Any news about "File Association".

Would like to testdrive!

Like so many others, I have installed the Suite to a hard disk partition, and run the apps from there. Today, I was making a shortcut from my desktop to one of the apps, and I found myself wondering: when launching an app from a hard disk like this, is there any advantage (stability, speed, etc.) to using the *Portable.exe rather than the actual application executable, from its own subfolder beneath the "App" subfolder?

I'm betting that it doesn't make any difference, but I'd like a definitive answer.

Thanks.

When using my vista machine at home I do not have any problems with my portable app platform. When I use it at a library using Windows 7 I have trouble updating any of my apps. I get a message to update but on attempting the updates I get this error message "The download copy of [app name] is not valid and can not be installed. this could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the update again when complete". I just tried to update the portableApp.com platform on the Windows 7 machine and got the same error message.

Always when you start PortableApps 12.0.1.0 I get the following message: "Invalid image sitze". This message comes after the update from 11.2.0.0 to 12.0.1.0 and after a Reinistallation.

I use PortableApps in Windows XP and 8.1.Portable Apps 12.0.1.0 seems to be broken, Portable Apps 11.2.0.0 is top.
