If a software was going open source, would it be possible for me to make it portable? The software i'm talking about is lightworks which goes open source at the end of the month

Hello there!

It's not really a bug, but serve as example:
Yes, it's a bug.

When you download a program and you choose the option "open" instead of "save", the program will be downloaded and opened as it should be. But if you close Opera while the program is running, Opera Portable will not move your profile folder to "data", and your profile will be deleted.

I don't know if I was clear, my english is not good.

I was exploring a few weeks ago and I found coding that you could take your desktop picture with you, in that when you started the suite, it loaded your desktop picture and then removed it when you were done. I can't seem to find it anymore. Help?

Do I need to be concerned?

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware says the file "SciLexer.dll" in the latest notepad++ has a trojan horse!

Anyone else get this?

Portable apps has made me like my flashdrive 100 times more than ever.. It is so useful when you are working in a public computer.. Question: What is the most useful application on your flashdrive? Mines would have to be VLC, Utorrent, Frostwire, Peazip portable, Mozilla firefox, CCcleaner, google chrome. I don't really need Open office, but I want it in the drive anyways just incase other computers don't have microsoft office..

Hello folks!

I was just wondering is there any other portable BitTorrent client out there?

Thanks!

I'd like to put together a bootable USB flash drive that contains various tools so that in the event my Win7 64bit laptop has issues and won't boot, I'd like to have the ability to boot directly from my USB flash drive.

Is this possible using the portable apps applications - in particular the ability to boot directly from the USB Flash drive (when Windows itself on the main laptop won't boot). If not, what needs to be done?

Some the things I'd like to be able to do from the USB flash drive:

Hi everybody, I have found the Kaspersky removal tool Portable, and I like to know if any knows how to update the definitions of viruses.
This is the link for the definitions: http://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/bases/av/kdb/i386
My problem is that I don't know what I have to download to update the tool.
Thankyou.

Where can I get some advice on the spam I received within an email notification regarding a new comment in a subscribed post. The forum doesn't contain the same post. I don't know if it has been removed or something fishy is going on. I can't imagine the content is from the actual OP (as it states) and am concerned that there may be some sort of breach in the security of my email address as registered with portableapps.com
Regards

PS. Should I post the email content?

Hi, my portable apps icon keeps disappearing from the windows 7 task bar, it happens every couple of weeks or so.

I assume that this happens occasionally while the removable drive is not connected and windows is trying to tidy up things for me by removing broken links, but I can't figure out how to turn off this behavior.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the task scheduler that sounds like what I'm looking for. I've tried turning off all of the system tuneup tasks in Norton.

Anybody else having this problem?
