Open "Documents", "Musik", ... at other location then default

Submitted by deti on June 25, 2016 - 10:36am

Hi!
Can you add a stetting to configure where the link goes when I click at "Documents", "Music", etc. in the main PA Window? Or is there already an equivalent setting?
The reason is, that I have my documents inside an encrypted volume and I want to access them there when I click on the button at the PA window. The volume is always mounted at the same character (V:\). Therefore it should work everywhere.
Thanks and Regards

Does Portable Apps Support Windows Active Accessiblity ?

Submitted by stroyer17 on June 14, 2016 - 4:06pm

The developers of this software http://www.imgpresents.com/wordcomplete/wordcomplete.htm wanted me to contact the developer over here to ask if Portable Apps supports Windows Active Accessibility. I couldn't get their software to run correctly in the few portable apps that I use (Maxthon Browser & QBittorrent).

Using and Updating Multiple Copies of the Same App

Submitted by 3 cheers 4 JT Haller on April 28, 2016 - 11:22pm

Hi John and the team,

Firstly, thank you for adding the ability to use and update multiple copies of the same app. I have just one small request:

Rather than having to rename the nth copy of an app to AppNamePortable_Copy_n, would it be possible to amend the app slightly so we can use user specified folder names so that we don't have to keep a spreadsheet to remember that, for example, FirefoxPortable_copy_6 is actually Firefox_banking?

DirectoriesMove & RegistryKeys not working.

Submitted by Jeff Savage on April 19, 2016 - 1:42pm

So I am trying to make a PAF version of Pokemon TCG Online. I am having trouble getting DirectoriesMove and RegistryKeys to work at all. When I launch the game, it loads instantly, which should not happen. The data folder alone is 3.7 gb (holds all the images for all cards) and should take a few minutes to copy over on a usb2 connection. Problem is, nothing is being moved. I don't mind waiting a few minutes for my game to load but the problem is it loads instantly and doesn't move over essential files or keys. I should also mention I saved this ini in unicode.
