 nyarnon: Now why doesn't PFC have something like that. [2006-11-23 09:20]

 mosaic: I second that. Maybe we could collectively compile a list and make a PFC version? By the way, I think PFC is very well maintained. It's time to take to the next level? [2006-11-23 17:34]

 [BOT]Fluffy: Heh, can't help but wonder where the "inspiration" for this UI came from. :P [2006-11-23 20:09]

 Andrew Lee: Why do we need a "PFC version" when we already have PStart? :) Just to introduce yet another format? eg. PPAF (PFC Portable Application Format). [2006-11-23 21:00]

 stacoma: Major updates were made with the programs there, but I think PStart just makes a better fit for many (at this time) than the PAS launcher, especially with it being new. [2006-11-23 22:55]

 mosaic: Okay, you guys made good points about PStart. I liked it initially, however, I no longer use it. I have a dedicated 20GB portable USB drive for all the portable applications. I constantly add/delete/update my software collections, thanks to the proliferation of portable softwares. However, almost everytime I have to add a new entry or remove or modify (especially if you are keeping multiple versions of the same software) in the PStart. It's a pain in ...?

Anyhow, I am not purely saying to following the suite, but something innovative to keep the pain out of upgrading/deleting/adding a new portable software and yet still easily make PStart workable.

I am not so sure I am making any sense. later guys. keep up the good work. [2006-11-25 04:48]

 under_line: Excellent look. I like it. But i not to PortableApps scan my folders, I want to add application in menu myself :( like PStart. [2006-12-14 03:46]

 Meter: I really like ASuite (search for it here at PFC). It's a lot like PStart, but it's open source and bit more tweakable. [2007-04-03 09:30]

 Donald: the upcoming beta and all future versions are PAF only [2008-06-03 03:00]

 Donald: that will mean no more exe's added by just adding [2008-06-03 03:01]

 a: i'd say this is aesthetically pleasing, but it's just to darn simple and it appears to be proprietary (see Donald's comment), i will have to develop a menu myself, based around this applications looks entirely. [2008-06-04 14:31]

 a: .. but with a hell of a lot more options. a PStart, Portable Apps Suite, hybrid sounds intriguing. [2008-06-04 14:33]

 E=mcc: i like portableapps.com, but i have found a fork project on sourceforge.net named geek.menu, this will improve portableApps in many ways:
- menu structure
- dynamic drive-letter-replacement
- trueCrypt-support
- better design
- etc.
i love it. [2008-06-11 05:35]

 donncon: I stopped using the PortableApps launcher in favor of PStart due to portablity, directory structure, etc... PortableApps has a nice product, and a great site, but I find myself on this site using PStart for a reason....it's better. [2008-07-14 08:38]

 applelzy@yahoo.com: Not working even run the extract file. Could anyone tell me where should I extract to? Which directory? TQ [2009-10-13 09:14]

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
