How do you install Safari?

Submitted by Navane on December 3, 2008 - 12:58am

I'm new here I thought I'd ask a couple of questions. Hopefully this is in the right forum.

Is it possible to install any kind of app you want on portable apps? I'm trying to install Safari but I can't get it to load. If it is possible to install any app, how to you get Safari to install? Thanks a lot! Smile

WinSCP never saves temporary directory setting

Submitted by j.smith on November 23, 2008 - 2:18pm

Using current PortableApps WinSCP 4.1.7.

In main launching window, select "Preferences" and beside "Other general options:" click on "Preferences...". In the new window, select "Storage", and the setting in question is under the "Temporary directory" section. This setting is tied in with the "Drag & Drop" settings as well.

I do not have the Explorer plugin installed (especially since this is supposed to be a portable app), so I cannot use the "shell extension" for Drag & Drop features within WinSCP. Instead, I have to set it to use a temporary folder to enable Drag & Drop features.
