General Discussion

I really like how programs such as Chrome and Skype do not have the PortableApps splash screen. I wish there was a way to suppress that on other PortableApps.

Not trying to take anything away from this awesome resource, but the splash screens bug me, and whether it is fact of fiction, it provides me the illusion of a slower load of the program.

I've created a set of 31 unofficial PortableApps.com related dock icons:
- 5 flat HDDs (red, blue, black, Win7 and Music Production Suite)
- 2 big HDDs
- 21 logo icons (clay, wood, stain, neon, Vista, 8bit,...)
- 2 patheme icons and one for EraserDropTarget
All in 256 px png format

Hello.... My name is Matthew... vs50d1969.

I'm born in USA and now living in The Netherlands...Holland.

It's along story...but i'll make it short. I needed something to keep passwords for all the web sites and banks and this and that....you know how it goes.

Some guy at a computer store said to go to portable apps and check it out.

I did.... I'M SOLD!

This is the best thing since sliced bread and the internet.

I use it all the time.... my wife uses it also.

I don't know what I would do with out your help.

It would be nice to have current guidance on what to do when an application displays an automatic update notification. I have seen a post from 2006, for example, and it would be nice to have newer information.

For example, Thunderbird recently notified me that there was a newer version, and since I didn't know at the time whether it was safe or not, I did not install it. But this is not a question about Thunderbird.

My Anti-virus program reports that xcdns.dll in the PChat plugins folder is a Trojan DNS program that monitors and steals my information and sends it back to someone.

Can someone test the portableapps PChat and tell me what's going on?

Hello. I am new at this forum so i am sorry if this goes in wrong place.

How long does it take to put Portable Linux? It has been saying "coming soon" for like a year.

So I got a new netbook today, and I was being annoyed with having to transfer files back and forth all the time. Saving settings like bookmarks, mail, and all that jazz was becoming very annoying. Plus I just did not like the idea of having a pen drive perm attached to my netbook!

SO!!! I went and created me a free ZumoDrive account (http://www.zumodrive.com) which gives you 2 gigs of space completely for free.

It registers as a drive (like any other cloud drive) on your computer, so I installed portable apps platform to it, and I was amazed to see that it worked really well!

Hello everybody. Now, if anybody reads this i want to ask you something, PortableApps.com now excepts {Freeware} software right, well if so it showed on the wikipedia that Opera’s license is Proprietary (Freeware) with open-source components. Now, does that mean that Opera is actually Freeware, well if thats true and PortableApps.com now supports Freeware software, i thought that Opera would make a good portable app and i would like to request it, but only if i’m not wasting anybody's time.

recently i have downloaded some portable software,such as UltraISOportable,xnviewportable,winrarportable,etc.i got trouble when using them

UltraISOportable:i run UltraISOportable.exe,it shows itself registed,then i checked"options"-"configration"-"integation"-"associate" with "iso" files,then i double click an iso file,a popup window shows and tells me "UltraISO is not registered"

winrarportable:same problem as UltraISOportable

xnviewportable:similar problem as UltraISOportable,when i double click a JPG file,xnview runs,but settings i have done in xnviewportable are all lost

Is there a way to make portable apps like Pidign or other apps that have clickable support links default to the portable browser like Firefox?

Case in point was I went to launch Skype from Portable apps, forgot password clicked forgot password and it opened the computers default browser not the PA browser.

Same when I clicked on the Pidgin help defaulted to the computers browser.
