General Discussion

I donwloaded many apps from this site. I installed Rising anti virus software. it detected lots of virus, trojan, worms etc. I don't remember what it detected. But are the apps on the site safe? It is said that more than 90% of Android apps aren't safe. Or maybe the technology used for making apps portable is like in the crack ware, which is against by anti virus software for anti-pirated?

I'm just curious: Are you still working on it? Because Pre-Release 4 hasn't come for a week, and hasn't changed much here and it seems to be inactive.

The start.exe portable apps launcher takes a very long time to load the list of applications on both my i5 and i7 computers.
However, it does it almost instantly on my older computers. Did anybody ever noticed it?
Does the launcher does not support multiple CPUs? Because even in my i7 it takes about 5-10 seconds to list about 60 applications.
Does the launcher does not support USB 3.0 port?
Or am I missing something? Some i3 processors list all programs almost instantly, however my i7 takes a while.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi

I have been trying to download XAMPP light.
The link on PortableApps for it is sending me to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#646

But there is no link for XAMPP light (28mb). All 3 links there seem to be for full (not lite) version and much larger files.

Am I missing something? Where could I get the light-weight version of XAMPP?

Is it possible to extract the contents of a paf.exe file, copy it to a folder on a desktop computer, and run it from there? It is possible to run these apps directly on XP and above?

Hello all,

I just updated PortableApps to Pre-Release 3 and I could not find a theme similar to the rainbow theme that existed in the previous version. Is there any way I can re-download it?

First off, I did a search & did not come up with an answer (though I suspect that there was one buried in there some where).

I'd like too be able to start Chrome portable with a 1 of 2 .ini's which have different Additional Parameters. I know I can edit GoogleChromePortable.ini with the appropriate parms. But I'd like to void having to do the edit when I want to start the app with different parms.

Ok, I just downloaded this and got everything I want on it. But I see you can add you own videos, pictures, and music.

For videos, what file type do that have to be? Do I just add them to the my documents and my videos?
Pictures, can they be .png,.jpeg,.bmp and so on?
Music, Do they have to be .mp3? Or can they be a .wav or .ogg ?

I was just wondering. Because I don't want to screw it up.

Hi, when i installed the latest PA Platforf it came with a shortcut for the platform, for some reason this is not working for me. I have to go to J:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe just to launch it

Ok, I downloaded blender portable last night and it works on my computer. I took it to school to show my teacher what it is (since you can't download anything at school) and I was letting him do whatever with it and suddenly everything disappeared. He was doing something and everything went gray. You could still see the boxes for everything like the drawing area and menu area but there were no icons or anything. There just gray boxes were everything should of been. Is that the computers doing or the program?
