Site Recommendation: Move the Forum to an Askbot Powered Q&A Site?

Submitted by trust on January 6, 2013 - 5:39pm

I think it's much more useful.

Just see the recent success of sites like Quora or Stack Exchange. For PortableApps the Stack Exchange model would fit better. There is Askbot to provides such a platform for free. AFAIK LibreOffice's support "forum" is an Askbot powered Q&A site.

How do I add PortableApps to Hiren's Boot CD?

Submitted by seding1983 on January 6, 2013 - 5:31pm

If anyone is familiar with the popular Hiren's Boot CD you'll note that he already includes several programs in the .iso that are launched with a command-script shortcut. Among these are 7-zip, CCleaner, Defraggler, etc.

What I want to know is how to add PortableApps in their "native" format to a custom Hiren's Boot image. In the extracted archive is a folder "Programs" which contains the command scripts and a subfolder "Files" which contains the actual programs they launch.

portableapps launcher in windows autoplay?

Submitted by sicnessrusso95 on January 4, 2013 - 1:37pm

the idea just came to me one day, i would like to know if anybody would be willing to try to build a small program for windows 7 that runs silently in the background but when you plug in a flash drive or device with portable apps on it, there is an option in the AutoPlay that says launch PortableApps Platform. If there is already something similar please let me know.
