They were important once upon a time but that is no longer the case. I'm not suggesting they be deleted, just not "stuck".

I am a friend to everything your portable apps are trying to accomplish.

But am bewildered by the apparent distinction between portable applications and cloud computing. Both seek to accomplish the same thing, although through different approaches.

What I don't understand, is why nobody seems to be interested in leveraging the power of each approach, and creating something even better?

Just had F-Secure AV light up on me when I installed the latest VLC build, anyone else seen this?

Screen dump here:

Because I can't use all my extensions nor favorite themes.
Many of my extensions are not portable.
This way Fx Portable doesn't give me the feeling of my Firefox.

In this case I can use the host's browser -
exact the same results.

Suite neither installed nor used.
I wish to have launchers of all my portable apps
to be collected in one place on the pen-drive.
E.g. in a dedicated folder.

Windows shortcuts don't work, they need absolute paths.
How would be the procedure for creating these launchers?

I'm looking for a RAM disk tool that can work in command lines so it can be integrated into PortableApps. I think it's the last piece of my Apache performance boost puzzle.

I've been trying to increase the performance of Apache within xampplite installed on my usb drive.

Hi all

I had Microsoft Calculator Plus installed on my computer I copied the .exe file to a folder in my portable apps usb drive and it seems to be working? with no glitches

anyway I don't know the legal side of things but I thought I would mention it here incase anyone was interested ...

also would it be worth me asking for this to be made into a portable app?
or is there issues with using Microsoft's stuff???

The new PortableApps.com Installer and Format has been released:
https://portableapps.com/development/portableapps.com_format
https://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_installer

I've been making a lot of progress on finalizing PortableApps.com Format and the PortableApps.com Installer for generalized use. As discussed previously, the installer is switching to an INI-based configuration so that publishers and devs won't need to write any code to get an installer.

Here's what the appinfo.ini file will be looking like:
