General Discussion

Hello from Germany,
I discovered this programme-package by chance. And after only knowing it for 24hs I think it could be quite revolutionary for schools!!
I would suggest that this should be promoted because I think hardly a school knows about it (at least here in Germany).
If every pupil in school would carry this as natural as he does carry his pencilcase... just imagine.

Do you work on this... what can I do for it?

Take care, Enno

Hope this is the correct forums to suggest new features

The new Eject is really useful, but would it be possible to add a flyout where you can Eject Only or "Backup Then Eject" ?

The backup could be fully automated, just taking note of settings of the last manual backup.

This way, at the end of the day, I / we could get an option to save away all our data.

As I've posted previously, we're adding Spanish to our list of supported languages which means we'll be making Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird and OpenOffice.org available in Spanish. We'll be doing the "International" variant of Spanish as opposed to straight "Spain" Spanish as that seems to cover more of the world, unless I'm mistaken.

Sorry all, real life issues are taking more time then I had originally anticipated. I had originally been looking at getting Blender Portable updated but I have been struggling to achieve this. I know John has looked at Blender also and at the moment I do not know how much longer I will be away before getting back to everything.

CamStudio has just had an update to 2.6 on the SVC also so that's due for updates also soon.

I will try and visit when I can and let you know when I can put time aside to continue development.

I've started to teach myself C++, went out bough the book and all that fun stuff. But I haven't found a good compiler for it. I need a free, not necessarily open source C++ compiler. Does Visual C++ compiler make it's app need the .net framework? If not I can use that if there's nothing else.

Today I read in the new Media Markt advertisement paper that they sell a Emtec 8 gb usb drive "incl. OpenOffice-package and Internetbrowser etc."

I got suspicious and wondered what package they are referring to cause it didnt say U3 nor any other known alternative so I searched for the drive on their website and found this.

I have access at one location to an old computer running Windows 98 SE. When I try to use the latest Firefox Portable (v 3.0) it won't load but the older v.2.x did. Can anyone explain why? Is V 3.0 only for Win XP and Vista?

I had 2 ideas that I thought might be good ideas to incorporate into the next PAM release. so here they are.

1 along with the Documents, music, and photos folders could a folder for Portableapps be added? maybe make it optional.

Also would there be a way to set a Personal folder right under the rest of the folders, that the user could set the path to, and set their own personal icon for it.

so that If I want to set a personal folder documents\homework\intro to programming

Has anyone else had problems with the PortableApps RSS feed not updating in Firefox 3? I have seen this on my work computer and home computer. I have to right click and "Reload Live Bookmark" in order to get the latest.

Never had this problem before with FF 2.0.0.14. If anyone knows a solution, please post.

Thanks.

I'm wondering, are you paying to Sourceforge for hosting your apps there? Or they are doing it for free? Just curious.
