General Discussion

In the header box above, the last line is probably meant to be "Please donate, so we can keep releasing new and updated awesome apps!", with donate, new, updated & apps being the links.

The way it is now, both "update" and "release" are incorrectly used, at least in a grammatical sense, anyway.

I use PortableApps on my hard drive because I like the cleanliness and maintenance. Today the launcher offered to upgrade a few apps, including Notepad++Portable, and I let it do so. The next time I tried opening a file with N++ and it got stuck - I could see the program window and the file I tried to open (and a couple other files that had been open before), but on top of that was a never-ending splash screen. I forcefully closed it, tried running it again, and it said it needed to clean up and then I could open it again.

I really need your help.

Every time I close an app without a regular exit, on next launch this message will show:

"Last exit of [appname] portable didn't restore settings. Would you try to restore local and portable settings now?"

In many cases I prefer logging off my Windows without exit softwares manually, I feel OK with that. But this message is just annoying. How to avoid it?

Hi im toady

I work on the cyberfox project witch is a x64bit variant of Firefox based from there source code.

I have put allot of time and resources into this project and do offer a portable version of cyberfox.

My question is how do i get it submitted to your awesome collection of great apps.

Im not sure your views on x64bit applications but would really like to provide my user base with the ability to automatically update cyberfox through the portable apps platform or even download it via your application.

Please let me know what steps i need to take.

i am going round and round,help needed again,i want to use an app that changes date to launch another app,so should the cmdline point to the main app or the portable launcher--?

a)so do i launch the date changing app, and then send command line to launch the portable-app-launcher.exe or do i send commandline to launch the date changing app, and then execute the main app(and not its launcher)---?

how should i go about it--?

or should i use WaitForEXE1 or something.

What i want===run the app in a custom date

i am new to platform,and i am feeling exhaussted,i wanted to make an app portable ,a directory needs to be moved from data directory to system,how can i make use of symbolic link,than move data back and forth.

i have success with [DirectoriesMove] ,i rather use symbolic links,[DirectoriesMove] is inefficent and slow

Chrome Stand Alone App

I've created a HTML5 app that uses portable chrome to run on Windows PC's.

My customer would like to have it burnt to CD so they can use it anywhere as a program. This works great except for one minor thing. When on a read only device portable chrome prompts the user if it's ok to temporary use the local disk space for a profile. Is it possible to remove or suppress this warning. They are aware of what it is doing but don't need to see the warning. They'd like to not keep hitting yes.

I have yet to try, as I'm worried about what could happen.

I want to use a Full Install of SeaMonkey at the same time as my Portable SeaMonkey- both open at the same time and being tweaked concurrently.

I tried a search, found nothing recent.

My reasons for this:

I want to make a 100% standard theme for SeaMonkey that I can use in my Portable Version. Eventually, I would like to approach somebody about including it somehow.

If nothing else, I would like to learn more from the experience about portablizing apps.

Not sure if there's anything that can be done about it from our end, but there's a spelling error on the following page - "property" is missing the t in customusb's blurb about themselves.

Hi,
I was just wondering if its possible to trigger a app update when the program is already running?
I have a work PC / Server that now has portable apps running on it continually, I'd like it always kept up to date.

Is there any way of triggering an update other than closing and restarting the app?

I'm not to worried about the install bit, just kicking off the checking bit, the PC is checked every day so I can manually install the apps its just reminding me to do it!
