DamnVid Q

Submitted by Chim on July 29, 2014 - 10:57am

I just barely installed DamnVid for the first time. I have never used it. I understand it's a Video Downloader.

I used to use YTD Downloader, but I haven't found a portable version of it and that's what I'd prefer given that I really use it only on my sister's computer because of her High Speed Internet. And now that SUPERAnti-Spyware and / or Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware flag it as having Spigot or something, I'd rather not be installing YTD Downloader in their new computer.

AppName Launchers

Submitted by terra666 on July 28, 2014 - 1:47pm

Hi,
The programs available for consumer can be divided into three main categories, freeware, shareware, or trial-ware/paid-ware. Therefore, I was wandering is it possible to create a thread for launchers only. So that we in the community can share launchers for the trial-ware/paid-ware programs, without violating other stuff.

Warning autorun changed pop up when I start portable apps - how to get rid of this nuisance?

Submitted by avfexp on July 27, 2014 - 5:16am

Hi when I start my portable apps suite first thing that happens is that I get said pop up, the text is very long but it says that something changed in my autorun file and that may be because of a virus or something and if I did not do it myself I should scan the drive for malware bla bla.
The thing is that is nothing wrong with the drive is not infected with anything I has been scanned already I just want to get rid of the annoying popup without having to reinstall everything.
Any ideas? This is happening in W7, W8 it is not OS related.
Thanks

Personal Video Database: how to add foders with movies in?

Submitted by Dirki on July 25, 2014 - 1:43pm

I have tried a few times to register at that PVD (Personal Video Database) forum without success.

The options in PVD appear to be very good, but I absolutely cannot cope with that program. It appers to be extremely confusing for me.

How can I add (and after edit) different folders the movies / series are stored in to let them scan automatically and get the informations, images for the movies from the data bases?

May be there is an alternative for the program?

Various questions on future features

Submitted by Gynsu2000 on July 25, 2014 - 4:45am

Hi,
I have few questions regarding features:

1. .NET Portable App : this feature has been announced few years ago but there is still no official word about it. Can we expect this to go live in a near future

2. Launcher customization: will we be able to see basic launcher customization? Like be able to create our own categories and add shortcut to other applications (e.g. installed one, such as Explorer, or Regedit ...)

Thanks!

Currently, there are some false positives in a handful of antivirus engines delaying the release of DSynchronize Portable 2.30.6. These are in the base app and usually the responsibility of the publisher to handle, but the publisher is a bit busy and unfamiliar. So, we're looking for some help.
