One question about portable fonts:
Can I use subfolders for fonts? (like C:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts\myspecialfont\font.ttf)
And a quick note: I think the paragraph about fonts should be added to the suite support page.

It just supports that one folder. You add fonts to it and it picks them up.
I've added the info to support: https://portableapps.com/support/portable_apps_suite#fonts
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for the quick answer!

All the good people on PORTABLEAPPS.
PLEASE HELP, my problem, when I delete something from my USB stick and
here I must tell, I use only PORTABLEAPPS, instead evaporating, the deleted item goes straight in rubbish basket at my screen. I know I am
making some mistakes, but I do not know how and what should I do, that
when I delete, it should not go into trash basket on screen of the computer.
I thank you all for your kind help. God bless you all.
Justine.
To delete a file directly (without it going to the Recycle bin), hold down the Shift key while pressing "Delete".

bro I do not find words to thank you, forgive me for my not good English language. You helped me and I will always appreciate your
good self. God bless you.
That's normal behaviour. Try using EraserDrop Portable for something similar to what you want: an icon that you can drop files on and they will be "erased" entirely, not sent to the recycle bin.
[EDIT] or the easier way: what SakiTC said.
I don't know what this has to do with the original thread, this should have been a new post.
But, you may not be doing anything wrong. Depending on how your drive appears to Windows, some drives will send things to the recycle bin when deleted, others it will just disappear into computer limbo, never to be retrieved again.
The quickest way to not have it go to the recycle bin is this:
After you right click to bring up the context menu, hold the Ctrl key and then click Delete. This will actually delete your file instead of sending it to the recycle bin.
As per Microsoft, and as SakiTC has indicated, the correct key combination is Shift+Delete.
Less than six hours sleep over two nights makes me mix things up.
Ignore my key combo above, Shift + Delete is correct.
You all wonderful people at PORTABLEAPPS, people like you who make different. I thank you all on my knees for your help. Shift + Delete
key helping. God bless you.
Hello justine,
although all previous answers solve the problem to get items deleted instead of moving them to the recycle bin, you are quite right that the behaviour is not the expected one for a removable media usb flash drive. If you don't own one of these weird usb sticks that inszall as local disk, you should not have a recycle bin on your usb flash drive (and no system volume information folder).
The normal behaviour should therefore be direct deleting without the recycle bin. Did you do something with your usb drive like changing the RMB (to make more than one partition or something) maybe with the hp usb disk storage format tool?
I use BCTraveller to create a container for my PA and data. That, once decrypted, create (virtual) non-removable drive instead. However, it still deletes stuff permanently. It does not contain $RECYCLE.BIN, etc...
Maybe because it is virtual, and not true drive.
I tried to use "iBin" to create "Recycle Bin. It works great if the drive is seen as removable, but does not work at all on my virtual non-removable drive.
Looks like I have opposite problem.
Did you try truecrypt? I think it does the same plus you can select, how the container should be mounted (as removable or as fixed drive).
1st:
2nd:
I tried iBin once, but
IIRCit required a specific work flow to work, and I don't naturally work that way. (It's been a while since I tried it, so my memory might not be serving me perfectly, but I do remember that I removed it within half an hour of installing it).I personally prefer FlashBin (made by wraithdu, one of the PortableApps.com Devs) it's simpler, and in my experience works better.

1st: You are absoulutely right, but the hijack has been done and gone far now (and a little bit further by your answer as well
).
2nd: It's a usable solution if DinoBiH feels bound to BestCrypt (with its restrictions). Truecrypt on the other hand could simply solve the issue in a more convenient way at base level (mounting a container as fixed drive provides a recycle bin).
1st: I know WinterBlood and I (… and now you too ;)) are right, and I know that it has (apparently) "gone far now" (even further by your comment … and this one too :o), but It's still true, and if I had the privileges to do so, I'd move these posts to a new thread. (yes it's possible, … if your awesome ☺)
2nd: It's a very usable solution no matter what the user uses to mount his/her virtual drive (it's also a good solution for FlashDrives [hence the name]). and I know very little about BestCrypt (and its restrictions), or TrueCrypt, thus I'm going to throw in FreeOTFE (which I also know relatively little about) just to say that there are several solutions for creating an encrypted virtual drive, and that if the user prefers one over the others they can use that one, but if it's not able to do what they want, they should look at the alternatives, TrueCrypt & FreeOTFE included, and in the end it's up to them to decide which they want, so while offering a replacement for one piece of software which they have and use and perhaps like is good, offering a replacement for the other piece of software in the problem scenario is good too, that way they can choose which they want.

I completely agree with you. I also wanted to point out the different approach of these solutions, hope my wording did not sound knowitall as it was not my intention.
Yeah, I just posted another possible solution, and when I read "It's a usable solution if …" I guess I got a little defensive (In case you didn't notice, I quite like FlashBin ☺), however I understand that you didn't mean to make it sound like a lesser solution; you were just clarifying the differences, thanks for doing that.
Also I just looked around the net some, and … well, iBin isn't the program I thought we were referring to earlier, so please ignore my previous comments about it, I don't remember anything about it except what it's supposed to do (act as a recycle bin for FlashDrives), and it's not the program that required the specific workflow I mentioned, and that I removed after less than half an hour of testing, and I'd tell you what that one I was referring to was, but I can't remember the name, and I can't seem to find it, … and on top of that I didn't like it, so I guess not recommending it isn't as bad as it could be.

Just wondering if this would enable you to set a font for the Platform ( 10.0.1 ) to use n the INI.. Like for example in a theme if I wanted to set the font to Segoe UI Light.. I could copy it to the folder ad then indicate it with a FontName= entry or something... The documentation I m finding seems to only state this for application who utilize fonts in design, formatting is what I am understanding thus far..
