I have no idea where to put this, 'cause I'm kind of in a hurry, so my apologies go out to anyone inconvenienced.

I just noticed that on Giveaway of the Day there is a free version of StarBurn. It includes a portable version so select Portable version in the installation. Just be sure to download it before tomorrow.

We started a discussion around UPX performance in the PortableApps.com AppCompactor news story. It has some important points but was off topic in a news story, so I'm moving it here to continue the discussion. It actually started with billiebub's comment about AppCompactor:

This was just posted in the german forum:

Hi,

Many of my friends are using PortableApps, but they have difficulties knowing about new updates so I have a suggestion:

a) While logged in, I can specify the Apps I use and I get email-update-notifications for these only.

b) Does the RSS feed support parameters so I can tell it to filter and only display the Apps I want ?

If these suggestions cause too much work for the Developpers or doesnt make sense to you, I could make a script to acomplish b)

They are both the same but which is easier to learn and more powerful?

hi:
why not get skype??

I use several Linux computers and therefore require a portable Thunderbird but also portable Firefox for Linux. Thus I wrote two simple scripts to create a portable Thunderbird and a portable Firefox.

Please download the latest version from the following project page https://wiki.privacyfoundation.de/PortableLinuxApps

This is download-thunderbird-portable.sh

#!/bin/sh
# Configure the following variables according to your requirements

version="2.0.0.17" # usually most recent version
language="en-US" # e.g. "de" or "en-US"

I recently have been unable to open documents using the 'open with ...' in the context menu of Windows (XP) and searching to my portable apps (eg pdf with Sumatra). I have not done anything different. This behavior occurs on both my work machine and my home one (where I have administrator rights). It seems to have coincided with the recent windows patches from Microsoft, but I do not know if there is a connection.
