Migrating from PStart to Portable Apps Suite

Hi All,

I'd like to clean up all my portable apps to ensure that there are no redundant files and that the profile structure is correct.

As I see it I have two options.

1) Export the profile extention data out of FF in use and import it into the (blank) FF in the portable app suite.

2) Overwrite the (new/blank) data FF directory in the portable apps suite with the data directory currently in use.

I'd prefer to start on a clean sheets with all my portable apps, i.e. use the executables as shipped in the suite rather than copy the old/upgraded apps currently in use into the new suite.

I'm assuming for apps that has an export function option 1 would be the recommneded route to go and for other apps that do not have this option 2.

Thanks for the help
Paul

Copy it

You can copy your Firefox Portable from one copy to another. Just copy the contents of FirefoxPortable\Data\profile from one instance to another.

For most apps (all the recent ones here anyway) you can copy the whole Data folder from one instance to another.

Any apps not in the suite, you can move their directory to your X:\PortableApps directory and they'll work with the suite.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
