General Discussion

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I can't find a forum solely devoted to Chrome Portable.

I have Chrome portable configured to be my default browser [on my Windows 8.1 Dell laptop].

My problem is that clicking on certain links does not work correctly. The places this shows up most notably are: 1) links in Outlook and 2) links on the desktop, but the issue shows itself elsewhere as well.

You can see the types of error by going to my flickr album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/julian-smith/sets/72157648629135795/

Can anyone tell me how to solve these annoying issues?

I am very grateful that there is the PortableApps.com updater to keep all my portable apps up to date.

However, time and time again I ask myself what is new, updated or fixed with the update, or what issue or security flaw is fixed. It would be really terrific if the the PortableApps.com updater could give us small release notes for each app update, kind of like the Apple Software updater does.

hello,

topic title says all,
is there a possibility to create new start menue entries in the platform for other portable apps which are not installed through the platform itself like the dropbox portable?

"HTTPS" search result have too many false results, not sure if this has ever been discussed yet.

Why doesn't PortableApps support HTTPS yet? Will it add it at some foreseeable point in the future?

Is it consider unnecessary? Or perhaps it the difficulties of adding them.

Searching for portable apps within the PortableApps website is super simple: you just use the search field.

It would be great if the PortableApps Platform contained a similar search field to search for available apps. Perhaps it could even search for terms within the description of the apps and a list of tags.

If my sources are to be trusted, the next version of the PortableApps.com platform will be released this month. So which feature are you most excited to see in the next release?

Sorry for the possibly off-topic post, but I'm not sure who this question would go to.

Just purchased the 32GB PortableApps.com Carbide Drive. A little pricey, but looks terrific. I'll be in Mexico for a month, so it's pretty much what I needed.

I read that they can be personalized with a laser etching, but I didn't see anywhere that asked me for what I wanted it to be personalized with (I wanted my name).

Anyone order one of these?

How do I let the order taker know what I want the etching to be?

Hello,

I have for some time been wondering how I could verify the downloaded apps using the MD5 Hash keys, but have been unsuccessful in doing so.

I have downloaded and installed the Rapid CRC Unicode Portable app, but I am not able to figure it out. For example, and if Rapid CRC Unicode is the right app for doing this, if it's the install file of a downloaded app I should check or if it is all the files after installation....

At my school we have laptops but all .exe files are blocked but we can run .jar files such as minecraft.jar is there anyway to run portableapps.exe as a .jar (executable jar file)

We're now starting to see more apps which are dropping support for Windows XP. I'm wondering how the community would like to handle this. We'd like to maintain a list of last-working versions for users to be able to obtain. We'll include a caveat about bugs, security issues, and it being unsupported, of course.
