General Discussion

Hey everyone.

I have been using portable apps on an old sandisk cruzer (512 MB), but now that i bought a 4 GB Lexar drive, i have lots of questions.

1. Should i keep the Ceedo software that came with it and run both PortableApps and Ceedo simultaneously? it seems to me that Ceedo has more programs, but i don't know if they are functional on PortableApps as well...

2. Also, I was wondering if there is any equivalent to Argo Application Installer, for PortableApps? i have not used it but it seems to be incredibly useful (it installs ordinary programs onto your flash drive).

I currently use Autorun + a batch file to load up my apps and get everything running quicker with my USB thumb drive for work. My questions is... is it possible to change the display resolution using either a command line, or a small application that can be run from a thumb drive? This is all happeneing on Windows XP Pro machines with up to date Windows antiviral etc...

Do the applications run on the Treo 700p or is it only with Win XP

download a folder on a web page (via Firefox) full of PDFs. However, I want to zip it at the same time using 7-Zip portable. Is there a way to do that? I've tried typing in the folder in the folder line, but that didn't help.

I looked around and didnt find anything specific on this. I'm sure it's here somewhere but couldnt find anything clear.

PAM searches for .exe to list items in the menu. Is there a way to link to any other type of document? I use StickWiki which is a single .html and I'd like to be able to access it from PAM. The way I access now is through a shortcut on the root of the drive to point to the wiki which is in /documents/wiki/stickwiki.html

I just installed the light (and tried the basic and full versions) and with all three each time I load up portapps the menu will load fine. Once I click on any program, folder, setting, search, help, etc... (basically anything) within the menu it will load the program just fine but portapps always crashes and brings up an error message saying it encountered a problem and needs to close.

I'm running on winxp sp2 1.6ghz amd turion 64 mobile 1gb ram HP laptop. The basic programs I have running all the time are: AIM, Gmail notifier, dreamweaver, photoshop, firefox, flashfxp, and notepad.

John,

If I see it correctly, no one has a word about the new Forum optics. They aren't that new any more (bout 2 weeks old now) but I like them. I had to get used to it but I like them.
I didn't discover the best thing until today which is the statistics section. Knowing how many registered users we have (25,511) and how many guests (900) is cool and I was impressed by those numbers.

Thanks for making this public!

LOL I had a U3 drive for sometime now. A buddy at work had a plain flash drive and seen me use my U3 and wanted one. I knew about PortableApps.com but never bothered with it since I purchased a drive with U3 on it already. So I took his drive and and installed PortableApps base and added apps. He loved it...AND SO DID I!!!

this may sound stupid but how do you instal an app like portable scribus
i know it will run if i open the folder and click the exe
but im greedy i want it to have an icon in my portable apps menu.
Thanks
Mike
