The PortableApps.com Moderators would like to take a moment to apologize to all involved for these interactions.

Hi,

When I first installed PortableApps, I installed the platform and apps on my PC. But, I really wanted them on a USB stick. I've now done that but I have several files (including executables e.g. chrome.exe) located at C:\Users\MyName\PortableApps. I would like to remove these files from my PC. Is it OK to simply delete the files?

Thanks in advance.

Since the platform does not yet support saving installers during update, is there a way for me to download all the updates en-masse without hurting my wrists doing one file at a time?

I'd even pay for either a dvd update or usb key update once or twice a year (Or more).

I have a lot of friends who like portableapps but don't have my internet bandwidth and I'm trying to help them out.

I know that scaling was handled in an earlier version but it was for only certain percentages. I just need to blow up the scaling to 150% but when I do that, the platform doesn't look so hot. Could I something about this?

I see there is a FAQ on the donations page. I suggest an addition be made to that FAQ, something along the lines of the following:

How can I direct my donation towards developing a specific application?

RawTherapee (RT) is a portableapp used for processing the raw files produced by many digital cameras. It has been discovered that large numbers of files that are cached for the purpose of aiding transition from one invocation of RT to the next are being transferred/stored on the local machine. This data may be very personal. It is precisely to avoid such a phenomenom that is one of the primary reasons for desiring to use portable applications in the first place.

I've added in a processing filter for MARKDOWN and CODE in forum posts and comments sitewide ("Filtered HTML" text elements only). Note that only specific elements of MARKDOWN are supported (there are about 10 different competing versions of MARKDOWN and the Drupal extension supports a specific one with only some elements) and are then fed through the allowed HTML filter bits after. So, no tables or quick hash for code as they are incompatible.

Hi, there! I'm looking for someone who can walk me through the process of creating installers for PortableApps. My goal in this is to get to the point where I can operate independently, but I need someone that I can work with while learning the software to get there.
I already have a self-contained application to start with, and I've read some of the documentation in the Development area, so it won't be starting from scratch.
If anyone is willing to help me out, please let me know!

When I click on a link in an offline document it opens C:\Users\NAME\Documents\PortableApps\CyberfoxPortable\App\Cyberfox.exe, instead of C:\Users\NAME\Documents\PortableApps\CyberfoxPortable\CyberfoxPortable.exe. How do I correct this issue? Thanks for any suggestions.
