Would it be okay if I take over Scribus Portable?
I know I'll need it in 6th grade with the 'Museum' master project and all that.

So i really enjoy my portable apps and i brag about it every chance I get! I even have a blog article about it on www.ihelpstupidpeople.com. Just today my buddy was browsing around and found the icons and the theme. He asked me if I could make him a different colored one. I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to do this but I thought I'd share how it turned out anyway.

hi,
I'm pretty new and couldn't find an answer to the question in topic: how can I use tis Suite with Ubuntu? or better with Xubuntu, since my notebook isn't so fast.
Xubuntu hasn't so much software installed, so I wish I can still use PortableApps.
thanks

Some information on the portable version of Irfanviewer. It is portable and free, found link here:

I've been having problems with TBP v2.0.0.14 and FFP3 RC1 crashing without it being used, i.e sitting idle in the background. Once they've crashed and sometimes even when they did not crash (not started yet since last reboot) they would not start again/at all. Sometimes when trying to restart them they just crash with the same unexpected error but other times they simply die quietly, i.e. the .exe just disappears from the task manager processes.

Once OOPv2.4 did not want to start either with an error missing one of the installed components.

When I realized DVD Styler was originally supposed to be released as a pre-release quite some time ago, I looked into the PortableApps page and found other unreleased pre-releases.

Scribus: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/ScribusPortable_1.3.3.9-PR...

Cornice: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151265&package_id=...

Tile World: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/Tile_World_Portable_1.3_PR...

Is it possible for the installer to use the directory it's in (ie. the directory it was downloaded to) for the install directory if it doesn't find a PortableApps drive? This is what it use to do before (7-zip extractor) it got 'smart' (NSIS).

This shouldn't be too hard to implement, and it would help me tremendously.

I was wondering, where can somebody learn how to use NSIS around here?

Hi John,

Either I'm getting confused with all the forums or I have just forgotten how to attach a file/screen shot to a forum post here...

I also cannot find any hostoric post on how to do this, so can you please let me know how this is done?

I want to include a screen shot of a weird error that I'm getting in the launcher.

Regards
Paul

Hi everyone...

I LOVE Thunderbird.... though I have looked a lot for an ideally sync-able or import-export-able GREAT open source portable-able contacts program....

Any ideas???

Much appreciated!!!
