Portable App Development

Can someone on the development team take a look at this issue. Screen shot can be found at:

http://xiaogwu.backpackit.com/assets/895/970/PortAppsMenuIssue.jpg

It appears only when I use Portable App Menu on a higher than 1024 x 786 resolution computer. When I plug the USB drive into a 1024 x 786 set computer, it appears fine. Is the Menu a static bit map that doesn't draw to the appropriate size based on the resolution you have set?

Wondering if anyone has done this or would like to try. It is really a nice add on if you use skype. I imagine many of you are much more advanced in this topic then I am but I am willing to learn if someone wants to coach while I do the leg work.

It would be nice if you can add a shortcut to a download folder in the app launcher like like you do with the documents, music, picture and video folders. it is well known that people like to download lots of stuff on their portable drives to take home so it will be a very welcomed feature.

is it possible to prevent Portable Apps from running but just show the menu when you double click the exe again?

i made this program with AutoIT. this program automatically changes your usb drive's icon wen you run it. this will also run the program you wish to autorun from your usb. so this doesnt take away the you usb's ability to autorun program you want.this program is call USBIR which stands for USB Icon Randomizer. Please use the program "Aut2Exe" provided in the AutoIT set to covert this into and executable.

Hi all,

when I put an application into PortableApps directory, ALL .exe files will be listed in PortableAppsMenu, including e.g. update.exe or any "background running" .exe files.
I'd love to have the possibility to remove only that unwanted .exe files from the Menu (not the application itself). In other words, to select, which .exe files will be listed.
And also the possibility to rename the listed files would be nice.

I suggest this to consider while preparing the next versions of PortableAppsMenu.

Maybe I missed how to change this, but recently I installed a new app, but the name that showed up in the menu wasnt recognizable to indicate the app I installed. I installed a french program and it says "version fransais" instead of the program name.

It would be nice if we could rename these titles in the menu.
