General Discussion

If there are any users here running PortableApps from cloud services such as Dropbox or Skydrive, do you have any "best practices" that you adhere to, either self-imposed or otherwise recommended?

Due to the fact that numerous antivirus products label DShutdown as either a potentially unwanted program or malware, we have removed DShutdown Portable from the app store, updater and website. Users regularly had the app removed from their drives when used on various PCs and we had a couple close calls with hosting considering it a virus, so we have made the decision to permanently remove it so it does not otherwise impact our users or our site. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I am changing my USB with the PAL. I've got some questions,
Which document gaves the folders their icons?
How can I change the folders like this:
+Libary
| +Documents
| +Pictures
| +Music
| +Videos
Gave theme Dutch Names, and the PAL Menu will still find the folders?

Hi,

I received my beautiful PortableApps USB key.
Is it possible to install Ubuntu OS and PortableApps on the same USB Key?

I wish I could run Ubuntu on any PC or run any Portable App on a Windows OS but with only one USB key. Do you think I can do that. With partitions?

Regards
Inoxys

hi

do we have a portable app that can convert .ZVR files to .MP3 (or other very compact audio format) here at PortableApps.com ?

I couldn't find one under the "Music & Video" category.

I know this is not a protable apps issue, but has anyone managed to integrate Roboform into Chrome portable without having to install the proper version of Roboform on the computer.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows a way to type a directory which points to the current USB drive, regardless of which actual Physical Drive Letter any given Computer assigns it

For example, I want to create a Shortcut to a file, but as soon as you move to another computer where the USB is assigned a different letter than the letter it was created on, the Shortcut no longer works

For instance, when I create a shortcut pointing to:

I:\My Portable Programs\Apps\Cool Program.exe

Problem 1: used my FF 3 and TB 2 for years without any problems on a 1G SD memory card and they take only 1/4 of capacity with 7 accounts. But for about a year now, I've had problems while typing - it freezes or moves in leaps and bounds (as it does now). Both TB and FF also freeze before moving to the next window. Compacting folders, renewing inboxes and other advice did not help.

About 2 months ago I cloned in TB the same gmail pop account in Imap to check spam box without going to webmail, they're now both functioning OK in TB.
