General Discussion

I think it's time to create a section "portableapps for admins". Many times we have admin rights on target computer anyway.

There is many nice software which needs because of their task admin rights to work.

Currently every individual needs to convert his needed applications (requiring admin rights) into portables itself or to go to the competitors (portablefreeware.com).

What "portableapps for admins" would be useful?
- well, very similar advantages to standard portable apps
- easy and fast install, just copy
- you can spread your software from computer to computer very easy

1) Does the concept of portable apps exist for Linux in the same way as for Windows? i.e. install once to a folder on host X & then copy that folder however/wherever you like & run on any host Y, Z etc with no install needed on Y, Z etc.?

Thank you John for the first edition of the PortableApps.com Newsletter!
I just discovered it in my mailbox and was truly thrilled.

Congratulations for finally getting it done and out the door. I am really looking forward to all the new releases and the next one.

The company that I work for is looking at giving away ThumbDrives for our end of the year giveaway. We were at a trade show a moth or so back and those seemed a real hit. I was wondering if it were permissible to put the Apps Suite on them. It will be made clear that it was FREE software that came from Portableapps.com and links to the project page.

Our business caters to pilots who use public terminals in numerous airports across the country and this would be very useful for them.

Hey all,

I have an Adobe Flash program that's compiled to an .exe. I've put it in portableapps, but the menu item shows up as "Shockwave Flash" and not what the exe is named. How can I fix this? I've seen associated appinfo.ini files with program info, but it dosn't seem to affect what's shown in the menu list.

We're using portableapps to show off our company demos, but having a list of 10 items that say "Shockwave Flash" is no good at all.
