General Discussion

Many anti-Virus and mal-ware detectors just assume that portable applications, i.e. applications running directly from portable mass memory devices (for example a pen drive) are security threats and they simply block the portable application execution.

A trivial, yet inelegant solution, is simply to disable the Anti-virus or Mal-ware programs. Besides inelegant, this solution leaves the host system unprotected and most of the time, to disable the protection features is required admin privileges which the visitor,trying to run the portable application, normally does not have.

Hi guys.

Sorry for what might seem like a simple question...but:

I have installed XAMPP, and XAMPP control panel.

They appear to work fine, I unzipped it to the root of my flash drive like i read to do, opened up the control panel, started Apache, Mysql - went into phpmyadmin, made a DB and some tables inside it.

I also have notepad++ installed from before, I created a simple page with just initializing a variable and then echo'ing it - however when previewed in Firefox it does not show the PHP elements.

Am I missing some obvious step here?

hay friend....hello i have just ask you a questions that poodle-v2.1 beta version is safe to use or in feature poodle-v2.1 version is changed?? give me some guidance....

Thought I'd pin PortableAppsPlatform.exe to the status bar so I wouldn't have to open the USB drive each time and run it. What happens, though, is a new instance is started each time you click it.

I've seen programs have the option "allow only one instance", but didn't see this in PortableApps anywhere...

For instance, running Objectdock, that hides the status bar, you have no access to PortableApps, so pinning it would allow you to bring it up as needed.

I was expecting chrome portable to behave more like firefox portable. I need the ability to save bookmarks, passwords, history, ect... Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to have the Portable Apps Menu minimize to the tray?

Hi,

I plan to travel Thailand for shopping and try to find an app for currency in appstore. I found the one called "Travel Buddy - Currency" that is quite cutie. Any other suggestion?

While I appreciate having mollum activated, and hope it cuts back on the spam, I wonder If there's a way to disable the verification for users that have had a specified number of posts successfully submitted?

I haven't looked at the module recently, might be able to figure it out myself before John replies, if so, I'll post the answer to my question here.

[EDIT] fixed post title

Hello.
I have looked everywhere and cannot find the type of portable app creator that I want.
Basically I want to create a portable application that is sandboxed.
For example, if you open a portable Firefox and go to File-->"Save page as", and save the file on desktop,
the sandboxed Firefox would not save the webpage to desktop
but instead it would save to
%Firefox portable Directory%\Sandbox\%root directory%\Users\Admin\Desktop\

Hi everyone
Love this idea of portable apps, has anyone seen a photo stitching app like Microsoft ICE or Hupage. It's used to build panarama's.

Thanks
