Is it possible to skip or exclude a PortableApp from being updated?

Submitted by jxf11 on April 29, 2014 - 6:38pm

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

Portable Fonts not working

Submitted by jarhead2000 on April 28, 2014 - 7:12pm

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

Eject fails if drivetype = Fixed?

Submitted by shookmon on April 13, 2014 - 11:53pm

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.

Canonical folders

Submitted by Ness on April 11, 2014 - 7:52pm

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!

Using Fonts Installed

Submitted by brista on April 4, 2014 - 11:44am

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!

Feature Request: Create Shortcut Button

Submitted by DaddySmash on March 10, 2014 - 12:26pm

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to make a shortcut directly in the Portable Apps menu? In this way, someone could add apps that may not be portable, but still work on a thumb drive. For example, DraftSight is not likely to allow me the change the program to the PortableApps standards, but if someone could make a shortcut to point to the nested DraftSight.exe file, then they could launch it from the Portable Apps Menu.

Here is a example of what it could look like when added to the suite.

many customizations
