General Discussion

This is for discussion.

NotePad++ isn't quite as portable as it orta be once the plugin updater is included, I use it non-portably at home and on other systems I use frequently, for e.g.

There has been a recent (today) request for RJ Texted but from where I am it seems less generalised than NP++ which puts it into the realm of IDE and non-general editors.

Do we need another editor? We seem to be gathering IDEs that include an editor and so on.

Hi,

I use both Google Chrome and Firefox on my laptops, pcs, mobile, etc. I have a Google account and I sign in to Google Chrome so that all my various data is synced across my Google Chrome devices/sessions. I also use Firefox sync in the same way.

I have now set up PortableApps on a usb stick (with GChromePortable and FFoxPortable).

IN PeaZip where is the option to automatically delete (or move to another folder) archives after successful extraction?

I just updated PA from 11.something to the current version. The apps I had previously installed no longer show up in the menu. Their folders are still there under the PA folder, but apparently PA does not "see" them.

Now what?

Hi,
I have an 8GB Carbide that I recently purchased.

LOVE the product by the way.

I want to know if I can get the software install that came on it, so I can return it to factory new condition, rather than just using the portable apps software. It has a custom menu and other items that I want to keep on my portable apps drive.

Thanks for your time.

PS. If this is not in the proper forum, my apologies, but I did not see one that fit better.

not SF apps. they are hosted here

why are some hosted here btw? and not all at SF?

like irfanview, and some others... i need previous versions..
is there a copy of older version somewhere on site?

thanks all and happy app making and thanks for this sick ass site!

absolutely fantastico

Hello, guys,
Last time (month or two) I cannot update any app on USB using PortableApps.com updater. Every attempt to update (no matter what) ends up with the following message box:

Is there a good portable screencast tool? What do people recommend?

I was a little surprised to log in today and see an add "Sweet Chinese Women Are Ready to Date U". If this had been an e-mail it would have ended up in the spam bucket. It seemed somehow inappropriate for this site.

I'm sorry to be such a dummy, but I don't see how it works.
Here is my objective:

We want to create a web app that can run on the web server software XAMPP on a Windows PC.

We want to distribute the app via USB Drive for use on computers with no (or very slow) internet capability.

I have created a test version on a USB drive with Chrome & XAMPP. When distributed to the end user, how do they access it? Assuming the USB drive is E: on the PC, does the users just type E:(path to app)?
