General Discussion

Hi, people!
For those of you who is interested, as me, in the question - how many memory eats this or that browser, I made a simple non-scientific test of all available for today portable browsers from this portable platform:
Falcon port.3.0.1
Chrome port.67.0.3396.87
Iron port.66.0.345.0
K-Meleon port.75.1
Maxthon port.4.9.5.1000
Firefox port.60.0.2
Opera port.53.0.2907.99
SeaMonkey port.2.49.3
(port. just means portable version)
Excluding "Lynx" (text-based browser) and QupZilla (mentioned as Discontinued)

Very well... I was able to successfully install QtGrace (Have an open issue with this app at Portableapps) and recently MKTeX. Both of them are running fine and I am thrilled to say that it will no longer be necessary to use anything else... Libreoffice suite is fine... I used to love Gnumeric before they decided to drop support for Windows... Is anyone familiar with a nice Markdown editor (other than CuteMarked) that can be installed or run natively? R runs fantastic as well so running statistical analyses is no problem....

SUMO (kc software) keeps nagging every week that Software Reporter Tool (64-bit) is outdated even Chrome portable is up-to-date and apparently its due that old version's folder isn't deleted when new version comes, possible to get autodeleted during update or not?

I am working with a volunteer organization that makes available a work area with 20 PCs for seniors, mostly with limited technical skills. Some of our regular users have given up their own machines in favor of this public access, but cannot save preferences, passwords, etc.
Can I encourage SAFE use of these programs to our governing board? Beyond the information on Wikipedia or this website how can I educate this conservative group? i.e. are there librarians who work with PortableApps?
Is there anyone who can connect with this board here in MD?

Dear Sir or Madam:
Recently, I've found out every email file is duplicated, i.e., there're two copies of the same email I sent or received. This symptom happened in the past only when I was restoring the corrupt email files. This time,I've never attempted to recover any files from the back-up.
This problem creates a nuisance of 1) doubling the file size, and 2) taking forever to get rid of the extra files.
Could you look into this problem?
Could you also implement a SW for scanning the entire files and automatically removing any extra files?
Thanks.

As I've lost almost all of the folders/sub-folders and emails except those in the Inbox/Sent folders, I tried to recover them from the Google email server site. But, when I tried to download the emails to my Thunderbird Portable, I got the following error message.

!!! The folder Inbox is full, and can't hold any more messages. To make room for more messages, delete any old or unwanted mail and compact the folder!!!

I have used portable apps for years but just recently decided to go hard core portable. I don't think there is anything I have left that I need to have installed onto a computer anymore.

is it possible to have tails usb os on one stick and portable aps on another and run them?

Now that GIMP has done a major revision, it seems the 32-bit Windows builds are broken again. This happened the last major revision as well and took weeks to resolve. I should have tested it thoroughly before pushing it out. So, GIMP Portable 2.10.0-2, like the 32-bit local install, is basically useless as you can't import, export, or save files. Our choices are:

Hello,
