General Discussion

Hope this is the right forum for questions about the forum.

On portableapps.com forum, once click reply or add comment, on a post w/ several comments, you can not read any previous comments. One might need to re read them, to make their new comment accurate or grab quotes.

I assume? this is a function of the forum software, but most forums will allow scrolling while posting, to read all previous comments. Is there any way around that on this forum, other than duplicating the tab to look at previous comments?

I'm posting this in the General Discussion forum since there is no support forum for Mnemosyne Portable. I'm sorry if as a newbie poster I'm violating any forum rule. This is my first message.

A few years ago I discovered Mnemosyne Portable (https://portableapps.com/apps/education/mnemosyne_portable) and used it ever since.

When Mnemosyne Portable was updated to version 2.1 I tried it enthusiastically, but I felt it was too buggy for me (the bugs are obviously caused by Mnemosyne itself, not the portabilization) so I kept using version 1.2.2 instead.

Hello all,

I have install portable apps and very satisfed.
But now, i would add shortcut of programs in portable apps and i don't know this is possible.
Example, add microsoft office shortcut in portable apps for start this in click on portable apps.

Thank you for help and sorry for my poor english.

i wish that pap would have feature someday to sort by last updated or installed apps but i just get better idea

why not have simple text log about what actions you did last ?

that log would contain any or some actions user made with pap

like last apps used installed updated removed or track of any other activity that would be useful as information

like simple history file

would that be possible ?

I know that John has a heap of apps that he repackages personally, and while Gord has done an awesome job of picking up where John can't always get to them straight away, we may be able to help both John hand off some of that load and all the developers to know where they stand with official apps and which apps they can take over.

I think it would be worth setting up a couple of new pages (they don't need to be forum threads, they would be better off on the development page as they are specifically development related):

Hello,

I bought a new computer and tried to connect USB to it. But the USB doesn't get detected. Can anyone help me in fixing this problem?

about PAP i think essential would be option to sort app list in portable apps platform by the apps u last installed and other would be by apps u updated last

so like i yesterday checked which apps was updated or added last and on top was wise registry cleaner or something like that i check box next to it and i go read names and categories of other updated/new made apps

but by the time i started to install that app and few others i selected i forgot their names and option to sort list of apps on PAP to put 1st apps i installed (or updated) lately would be like big help

2nd thing

Earlier today I posted several lengthy (and well-composed) comments on the following thread in this forum:
https://portableapps.com/node/28953

I posted under the name "suggestiondude", an account I made with a disposable email address.

I was disturbed to see that the admin John T. Haller has now deleted all of my comments and locked the thread from further comments:

I installed all the programs and I found these errors:

[polish ver portable apps launcher, no betas]

installed, not working:
Celestia [not working installed alone]
Sunbird
Gramps [not working installed alone]
qBittorrent [not working installed alone]
AssaultCube [not working installed alone]

will not install:
kchmviewer-bad script, working installed alone
2x client -bad install path

Many time by installing many programs at 1 time it show "file not found" and "divide by zero" and crash portable apps launcher.

I recently installed the PortableApps platform and numerous apps. However several apps fail to completely download and install. OpenOffice, LibreOffice, K-3DP, GIMP and Inkscape download all but the last ~5kB, then give a download error and fail to install. Help!!
