Any portable app for custom Mouse config?

Submitted by varxtis on December 27, 2014 - 6:49pm

Recently I had to find a new mouse. I had rewards credit for a certain store and the only mouse they had that really caught my attention was the E-3lue Mazer R Wireless. Until now, Ive never even heard of the company. But the thing that I liked about it was that it had a few "customizable" buttons, looked kinda cool, and was cheap (was a dollar less than my credits). Anyway, I got it in the mail and am dissappointed. With my logitech mouse and microsoft mouse, I was able to assign keyboard shortcuts for any programs.

PA has a santa as of today (may have been there before and I hadn't noticed).

Greetings to all regardless of religion + belief (none in my case) and so on.

To those in different parts of the world, I grew up in the southern hemisphere and now live in the north, the seasonal difference is most noticeable around now.

Enjoy yourselves all and remind us to think of you when your nations holidays come around.

Disabling Update Notifications on Skype Portable.

Submitted by EvanSen on December 15, 2014 - 7:41pm

I disabled automatic updates in Skype portable and never had them enabled yet I keep getting the update notification once when starting the program and a second time after logging in.

As a side note I used to use skype 4.2 and 5.5 portable. The network refused to allow me to sign in using those. I last used the just a few months ago. Anyone know what happened there?

Link to app outside PortableApps directory or link to app data instead

Submitted by edgardo on December 15, 2014 - 2:43pm

(If there is a better forum to post suggestions for developers, please let me know.)

Instead of adding an app to the PortableApps directory, I'd like to place it somewhere else, and have a link at the PortableApps directory pointing to that other place.

There are currently two limitations:

1. Portable applications must be located inside the PortableApps directory to be automatically added to the PortableApps start menu. (As far as I understand.)

Submitted by DarkForest on December 12, 2014 - 12:43am

Hello!
uTorrent portable 3.4.2.36615 leaves an entry in the Add/Remove Programs. Win8.1 x64. What I did:
Installed uTorrent, launched it, ran Setup Guide, closed uTorrent, opened Control Panel.

Is there any setting that doesn't allow a portable program to write to the registry?
