General Discussion

I found out about this earlier this week and have jumped in with both feet and so far i like what i've seen, so much so I've ordered a 4gb usb stick for 1 of my colleges to use. But, i have a few questions.

I'm surprised there's no security options. From what i've been able to find it seems like there are a few app to secure files but i would like to secure the whole stick. Any ideas as to how i can.

Secondly, Opera-usb. I like opera and thought i'd give it a try and copied it to /PortableApps/opera902en, refreashed the app icons. The first thing i noticed was it included 2 icons. One for GSAR and another for Opera startup. Clicking on the opera start icon results in a command window that points to the usb stick drive letter and stops with "The same position, nothin to do" and an alert box saying it can't find op.com. Opera does work if i go to the disk and double click the operausb.exe

Sometimes my internet goes down while im using it and then i have nothing to do

this could solve this issue

it would also be handy to see all ur favorite sites on a computer that might not have an internet connection

I have a device with a 30GB hard disk with about 20GB of stuff on it. I was doing some serious monkeying around with the device (a firmware upgrade), so I did the prudent thing of backing it up using PortableApps Backup to a zip file. This got everything AFAICT.

After problems with the firmware upgrade, I used PortableApps Backup to restore my files after deleting/recreating the partion and formatting it. I was somewhat dismayed to discover that only 13GB was restored. I noticed that particular folders were missing, so I used WinRAR to check the zip and those folders and their contents were present in the zip.

I have just come accross this resource and all the available apps for it.

could someone tell me if the apps that are availble for gnome are portable too?

Please consider adding the program version numbers to the Applications page, so that we can see what has been changed recently.

English:

we are going to do a small one but good discussion, that you think on apps and the software of u3, tell me to that you go to him but, dame advantages and disadvantages. To my to seem they are better apps gratuitous, you you are left them by always, they are useful and if a small donation is born of heart beams to you, and are very small. U3 has few gratuitous applications, but the bad thing is that the best ones are single version of test, in addition I believe that the programs of u3 are almost such of apps, although has much variety. The bad thing is that no is almost compatible with memories standard. And your that you think?

Español:

Saludos. Alguien conoce alguna aplicacion de u3 que sea compatible con memorias normales,hay mas variedad de software con ellos, pero algunas si se pueden instalar sin necesidad de tener el u3 smart drive, como el openoffice o el roboform pero alguna otra que conozcan en general, que recomiendad, estaria bueno que estuviera disponible algun passwordmanager o que conocen, comenta.

English:

Greetings. Somebody knows some application u3 that is compatible with normal memories, is but variety of software with them, but some if drive can be with no need installed to have u3 sma

Hey guys, love the project - have been trialling a few options (such as U3) - and I'm hoping Portable Apps Menu will be the winner.!!

On a different note, I recently installed the 1.01 patch, since the icon in windows explorer was showing the version as 1.0.0.0. After applying the patch the version is still showing as 1.0.0.0. (I realise if I actually navigate toe the PortableAppsMenu folder it shows the right version, but a new non-tech user would never look that far)

Could I suggest adding the version number for the suite somewhere obvious in the gui - or at least in the options an "about" dialogue?

If I put KeePass.exe in \PortableApps\KeePass it will show up on the menu, but I would like to pass it parameters. I created a batch file for this:

START KeePass.exe .\Data\Database.kdb -keyfile:.\Data\pwsafe.key

I tried creating a shortcut KeePass.exe to the batch file, but that did not work.

Is there a way that I can start this batch file from the start menu or otherwise accomplish pass these parameters from the start menu?

Keepass is running perfectly otherwise- should be easy to turn into an official portable app

Thanks,
Greg

I'd like to find a portable HTML editor at least as capable as Coffee Free or 1st Page 2000. Syntax highlighting, HTML help, built-in preview plus call up preview in specified browsers, multi-file search and replace. WYSIWYG editing not required. CSS awareness required.

I don't like NVU. It makes changes in my code without telling me and doesn't seem to deal with local relative address links well.
