General Discussion

I recently installed the PortableApps platform and numerous apps. However several apps fail to completely download and install. OpenOffice, LibreOffice, K-3DP, GIMP and Inkscape download all but the last ~5kB, then give a download error and fail to install. Help!!

Hello.

Today i received a SPAM email on address i allocated specifically for portableapps.com. Other addresses allocated for other sites didn't get anything (so it wasn't a mass-address attack on my domain). Please check your security logs for userbase leakage.

I will provide *.eml if needed.
Thank you.

I'm sure this must have been asked before, but I couldn't find anything. Is it possible to limit the update frequency to maybe once a week, rather than every day?

If there are any users here running PortableApps from cloud services such as Dropbox or Skydrive, do you have any "best practices" that you adhere to, either self-imposed or otherwise recommended?

Due to the fact that numerous antivirus products label DShutdown as either a potentially unwanted program or malware, we have removed DShutdown Portable from the app store, updater and website. Users regularly had the app removed from their drives when used on various PCs and we had a couple close calls with hosting considering it a virus, so we have made the decision to permanently remove it so it does not otherwise impact our users or our site. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hi,

I received my beautiful PortableApps USB key.
Is it possible to install Ubuntu OS and PortableApps on the same USB Key?

I wish I could run Ubuntu on any PC or run any Portable App on a Windows OS but with only one USB key. Do you think I can do that. With partitions?

Regards
Inoxys

hi

do we have a portable app that can convert .ZVR files to .MP3 (or other very compact audio format) here at PortableApps.com ?

I couldn't find one under the "Music & Video" category.
