Reget error

Submitted by sztrida on November 7, 2013 - 11:53am

Hi,

I am regularly experience problems with updates.
Majority of updates are processed fine, but some of them behaves like this:
- download starts fine
- download process almost goes to end, indicates 100%, but actual downloaded size is 2-5kbytes smaller than indicated to finish
- download keeps trying, but missing data does not arrive, only doneload speed decreases
- finally it gives up, and says Error: Reget error during the download if xxxx.paf.exe

Repeating the process does not help.
I am using it in Hungarian lang.

Currently I experiencing it with the following apps:

Menu Screen Location

Submitted by Firedrake on October 24, 2013 - 7:31pm

I want the Menu to stay docked in the upper right corner of my screen. I've placed it here repeatedly, but it seems to float around on the right side at random when i start my machine. Would it be difficult to add an option in Preferences for this, or am I just missing something really obvious here?

[Closed] after restore, apps don't appear in start menu

Submitted by 5QyL5tJC on October 11, 2013 - 9:15pm

Hello,

I backed up my PortableApps and the program created the following file,
"PortableAppsBackup-2013-09-06-Data.7z".

I restored the backup. The program files are listed in the directory named, "C:\Users\bran\Documents\portApps\PortableApps".

But, not one of the restored apps appear in PortableApps start menu.

How do I find out what I did wrong?

Thank you.

[Req] Modification to the PAF.

I am requesting that some modification be done to the Control section of the platform's appinfo.ini, and maybe up the version to a minor 3.1 to reflect changes.

1.=================================
As it is right now, for an app that has multiple icons like libre office, we declare it like this which is confusing:
start=app0.exe
start1=app1.exe
name1=Application One
start2=app2.exe
name2=Application Two
extracticon2=app2.exe

App Updater

Submitted by VizuaaLOG on September 24, 2013 - 3:26pm

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a problem when uninstalling the application. I removed jPortable from my portableapps.com platform a few weeks ago and it is not on my USB drive anywhere however the app updater keeps saying it has an update. I'm wondering if there is a way i can fix it or do i download the update then remove it again?

Thanks in advanced.

Paramter for apps

Submitted by obelix_a on September 22, 2013 - 6:02pm

Hi

as I wrote in my other thread, I also have portable apps in my PortableApps directory, which are portable, but do not have the PA structure.
Is there any way to start such an app with paramter? I have one app, which needs to get some information via command line parameter...

Please don't disillusion me by advising to write a batch file to call the app with parameters...

Menu rendering Error

Submitted by obelix_a on September 22, 2013 - 6:04am

Hi

any idea why adding "Rasterbator" (a program that is portable but not part of PortableApps) the Icon of it is not under "Other" but above the Subfolder "Other"

Hoe to reproduce:
- Get Rasterbator.zip
- unzip it into your PortableApps folder in a subfolder "Rasterbator"
- refresh app-icons
- open the "Other" folder in the app menu -> see the icon for Rasterbator above the folder icon
- close "Other" folder -> icons disappears as expected

thanks
obelix
