[Fixed] Download page of Converber has incorrect info

Submitted by MichaelDW on May 2, 2012 - 8:12am

It states "It is a powerful software utility that will help make easy conversions between 1324 various units of measure in 38 categories."

Converber has been updated to 2072 units and 53 categories.

So it should read , "It is a powerful software utility that will help make easy conversions between 2072 various units of measure in 53 categories."

This is taken from the main program's website http://www.xyntec.com/converber.htm

Where is the best place to pitch ideas to Portable Apps developers?

Submitted by morphonius821 on May 1, 2012 - 9:14pm

I have a few ideas I think would make cool apps/portable apps...
Not real complicated stuff but stuff I think would have big niche appeal to quite a few people...(And if people are interested...developers and/or potential end users I would like to work with someone to get it done.)

I could go into quite a bit of detail but I don't want to waste my breath in the wrong forum of if people are not interested.... suffice to say, in a nut-shell these are:

1)a 2D old-style "karate game" construction app...
i.e a simple UI driven app that allows users to build their own 2D fighting games...

Windows 7 Taskbar previews and Chrome Portable

Submitted by Anthony A on April 27, 2012 - 12:42pm

How do you get the taskbar previews to work for Chrome portable in Windows 7? There should be one preview for each tab but there is only one for the open tab.

Also related to this. When you pin Chrome or Firefox to the taskbar and then open the browser another icon for the browser appears on the taskbar and you have to icons for the program. The second icon is the one that has the jump lists not the pinned icon. Why does this happen?

[Fixed] Update of Notepad++ Portable removes installed plugins

Submitted by therealhanuta@web.de on April 27, 2012 - 4:45am

Hi all,

I have installed the plugin "TextFX Characters".
Every time Notepad++ Portable is updated, I have to reinstall the plugin.
Does anyone know how to fix this error?
Could be the correction integrated into the official package?

Kind regards
