PNote Fonts

Submitted by charles on December 10, 2013 - 3:16pm

Hi,
I installed PNotes on my pc. The fonts are too small default Microsoft San Serif, 8pt. I change font type & size for Content and Caption but the Content never updates itself. I can't find any other way to accomplish it. I also have a few notes with 'Untitled' options... and don't know how to change that either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Charles

Security

Some packages - maybe it´s directx or redistributables - just favors using the drive with the biggest space as temp data folder without any permission and sometimes the temp data is just left there. Maybe PortableApps with admin permission could prevent sneaky crap happening to the external drives

PAF Template Maker

Submitted by jedione on November 14, 2013 - 10:34am

Hey guys hope this is ok..

I just made a cool little App I call it "PAF Template Maker"
all you do is run it, type your "Name" enter
and it will put a new template on your desktop.

#1 your folder is pre-edited "NamePortable"
#2 your Launcher .ini is Pre-edited "NamePortable.ini"
#3 your Appinfo .ini is pre-edited "Appinfo.ini
and filled out with "Names"

your good to go...saves time, also the Launcher.ini
is pre filled out with some of the most common stuff
just a quick edit...

What to do with the automatic updating feature

Submitted by KonstantinCT on November 14, 2013 - 9:22am

Hello,

We're thinking about making one of our freeware applications a PortableApps-compatible. The only problem we've been faced so far is what to do with the automatic update function. Our application checks for update and offers to switch to the newer version, if any. Being launched from PortabeApps, should I disable the automatic update function or there are better options?

Question 2. It seems that PortableLauncher automatically restores some registry keys not specified in the settings, for example it recovers the below key if it was removed during the PortableLauncher execution:
