General Discussion

hello everybody...,

I`m using portable apps now for 5 years without any bugs and stuff like that and I really use it every day!

It always works flawless and I like it really much! Thanks for that!

But dont get me wrong...dont you all agree with me... that the new launcher design(s) are totally shoddy!?

For me its like a disimprovement, sorry.

Hope that this will be fixed soon!

I just got a computer running Windows Millenium Edition and I have no install disks for a more recent operating system and it doesn't have an internet question. Before I set it up, I would like to know if I can run programs (specifically portable apps) that are compatible with Windows XP on it. If not normally, then can I use a crossover program like how you can run Windows programs on a Mac?

Now that the 'Hide "portable" in app names' functionality is better supported in the menu, app store, and updater, I'm debating enabling it by default. It's a bit silly to see the word portable listed so many times in the menu. Particularly when the user is aware they're using portable software since it's through the PortableApps.com Platform. Users will still be able to manually switch to showing " Portable" or ", Portable Edition", of course.

Skype 6.18.0.106 you downloaded does not work. The program is loaded but not open.

I like PA.c but I do NOT like the search at the top of the page.

Please put it down the bottom like Windows (like I am used to) please.

Is there any chance of a 128GB drive becoming available?

I just installed PortableApps 12.0.1 on my Win XP system. It seems the menu font has changed. I don't like the new font - it's too big and so the list of my apps no longer fits in a single "page" of the menu. Is there an option I can tweak to change the font back to what it was before?

It has come to my attention that a great many posts in the PortableApps forums have gone without attention while some have dozens and dozens of comments. I don't know why this is happening, but it is. I know that you guys are trying your best to make sure everyone has a great experience using PortableApps, but this still happens. I have seen forum posts months old that have no comments. Personally, I don't think that the people are to blame, but the forum structure.

Hi devs & site admins!

No https connection is possible to your portableapps.com website. So downloading isn't secured against modifying binaries while they fly by... Login passwords aren't confidential, too.
https throws the following error: "ssl_error_rx_record_too_long".
Is this intentional?

Furthermore no GnuPG signatures of the binaries are provided.
Is this good practise in the post-snowden era?
