General Discussion

I'm a rookie with all things C++ and have almost no idea what I'm doing but I was experimenting on making RocketDock portable (a launcher) but I don't know what i'm doing wrong. The C++ online tutorials did nothing to help. What am I doing wrong?

I just went to change my user picture for the forums, but it won't let me. When I go to submit the new settings on the Edit Account page, it errors out to tell me my email address is already registered. If I completely clear the email address field and try again, it tells me I have to enter a valid email address. Bit of a catch-22 here and I don't remember having this problem before...

Would it be possible to change all external hyperlinks in the forums to open a new tab/window. It is slightly frustrating when i forget to hold control when clicking on a link and then need to go back again. If I'm being overly picky, sorry

BTW - I really appreciate all the hard work that everyone has put into making the PA platform/apps a success. I would be lost without it.

In my never ending quest to be a computer idiot, for the second time I have prematurely deleted an email account and all the folders are gone. Is there anyway to recover them as there were several saved emails with travel information on some upcoming business trips. Can someone same my butt???? I'm thanking you in advance!!!

This topic is to answer the question of what apps are legal and what aren't allowed it is primarily for the PA Mods, but not exclusive.

I feel there is a need for clarification on legality of apps. Here is why?

Google Chrome Portable 2.0.162.0 https://portableapps.com/node/18051. There is a question posted there stating is the app legal.

In this request for Google Chrome Browser https://portableapps.com/node/17050 it was mentioned that Google Chrome cant be hosted here but Chromium can.

We have made our software PortableApps aware.

This means that there is no additional modification from any 3rd party necessary as it already runs fine on PortableApps. Is this the sole reason why only Open-Source would be listed here?

Is there a way to set up Amsn to run under a proxy. like Firefox and Thunderbird do

also same problem with pidgon here.

Why does every single page of this website have a Firefow 3 logo on the bottom left-hand corner?

Hello,

I'm using PortableApps for a while and the more I use it the more I like it !
But there is one little detail that makes me quite afraid.

If I lose my USB key, all my documents can be taken by anyone.

So here is my question : is it possible to protect the access to the device with PortableApps on it with a password ?
I've been looking for a solution on this website and on the internet but I can not find anyhting about that request...

I asked the developer of OBEX commander for a portable version, this was his reply:

Thank you for using OBEX Commander.
Please use version 2.0 beta if you want to use it as portable application.
Install OBEX Commander as usual, then copy OBEX Commander folder to PortableApps folder of your USB drive.

+\PortableApps\
+\OBEX Commander\ +\PortableAppsMenu\ Commander icon will be available in menu.
