General Discussion

Could we find and implement replacement for DamnVid? As it can't download videos from YT (or I'm so stupid that I can't get it working) and developer stated that he doesn't plan to support program anymore (I e-mailed him about it). If I can suggest a replacement I would probably suggest Youtube-dlG (Youtube-dl with GUI), it's public domain, it's a bit heavy with 80MB, but it works.

I didn't wanted to post this topic in requested apps as I don't know what app should be requested, maybe someone will have a better suggestion.

I have Firefox, Chrome and Thunderbird running, is there a way to automatically get them checked and updated by portableapps?

Thanks:)

After a recent hard drive failure, and my own failure to make regular daily backups, I'm looking for a good, reliable program which can one-way sync one hdd to another. I used to use SyncBackFree, and it served the purpose well, but it has one major problem for me. Let's say we have a hard drive with folders a, b, c, d and e on them (large folders, with many subdirectories), and I rename folder b to something else. SyncBackFree won't simply rename that folder; it will replace the entire thing. Obviously with large amounts of content that is a problem.

I just upgraded my Portable App version of Firefox and found that it's incompatible with some plugins that I need for work. I'd like to just deprecate back to the version I was using before. Is there an archive of older Portable App versions of software so that people can deprecate if need be?

I had a power outage and my kind of important text file got garbled.

All '[NUL]', when opening with Notepad 2 Portable. Is there any chance to recover it?

The bad news is, I accidentally have overwritten my backup from a few days back with the garbled one. Now I truly need to recover it. What (portable) app can you recommend for this job?

I tried all the different encodings in Notepad 2 (portable) to no avail. Maybe the proper solution - if there is any - is something completely different.

There are many ways to show thanks. Donations are always helpful.

Letting people know why we use the tools that they spend so much time and energy developing can be an additional way to show thanks.

I was thinking about why I use PortableApps.

The answer: It makes my life better.

I seem to remember that there was a way to have the PA platform launcher *only* show up in the system tray, and not show up in the Windows 7 taskbar. Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

I'd like to know if there's a way to keep the menu open until I'm done launching the apps that I want to use. I need to run a few apps daily and it's kind of a bummer having to reopen the menu each time for the apps I need to run.

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance,
~Garrett
