PortableApps.com Platform

Hi everybody.

I'm trying to create installer with multiple (two) files to download. For example binary (one URL) and source (second URL), or both 32-bit and 64-bit versions together (two separate URLs).

Two. Two would be enough. Multiple - it is too much

Is it possible to achieve the goals using existing scripts?
Any hint would be appreciated.

Best regards and thank you.

Hi guys,

on my PortableApps 11.2 platform I am facing a strange probleme I didnt have on the older versions.

After opening the applications for the first time (apps like Opera, Notepad++ or SuperPutty), when I click the "|" (pipe) button, the menu of POrtableApps is brought in the foreground. I have to close it, and come back to the app I was before. I was looking for the shortcuts leading the pipe to the PA menu, but I found nothing...

Is it a known bug ?

cheers,
Michal

Would it be possible to add a parameter key to the Control section of the appinfo.ini file so a user could specify a parameter to be passed to the app?

(apologies if asked before, searched but couldn't find)

Hey all:

First time poster and I enjoy PortableApps and love the work that has been done to make it easy to install and transport your most used apps. That said, I am having trouble installing PortableApps on some USB drives that I own. Their sizes are 1GB, 4GB, and 32GB. They are all formatted to NTFS. This is the message I get when trying to install:

The device you have selected to install to does not have enough free space for this app."

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the support.

Is it possible to assign multiple category for the same application ?

Example: 7-zip is archiver (i need to assign in utilities as well as archivers,compressers etc...)

if not possible i am requesting this feature to be added in further releases.

Is there a way to change the PortableApps platform symbol?

On Win XP SP3, on an Ubuntu with Wine and on Win 8 (ighit) I did not find a way to change the symbol to be shown after start for the PA platform in the tray(s).

Why?
I sometimes want to run 2 platforms (with different apps / versions) simultaneously - e.g. for retrospects into old documents and content exchange. It is a bit annoying then if both platforms are not distinguishable by their symbol.

Cosmetic bug report:

When running PA.com backup, the following shows up on the screen:

D:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\7-Zip>@echo off
'@echo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

D:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\7-Zip>title PortableApps.com Backup Details [DO NOT CLOSE]

It seems PortableApps.com\App\7-Zip\7za.bat was saved as UTF-8 with the BOM at file's start. A quick conversion in Notepad++ makes the program behave as specified.

Hi,

I was wondering when PortableApps 12.0 Beta 3 is expected to be released?

Sincerely,

Adam

Every time I launch PAP it opens up (ignoring the StartMinimized=True setting) and I see a progress bar inside the menu -- it seems to be doing a full icon cache refresh or app indexing. This initiation takes about 3 minutes with 283 apps installed. I know my Class 4 USB stick is partly to blame for the slow speed, but is there any way to configure it so that it stops doing whatever it's doing on startup?

I'm installing PAP for the first time and it has not been a smooth process. I first checked off 283 apps to download, and it took many hours to download everything. However, after installing about 150 apps, the application started to repeatedly display these two error alerts:

(1) "Access violation at address 00404F47 in module 'PortableAppsPlatform.exe'. Write of address"

(2) "Stack overflow."
