General Discussion

John do blog more - even if just about your life - it's been nearly 1/4 year since we saw a post if I read aright.

I was fishing around for any ETA on v12b3 or life status.

Is Photofiltre 7.1.1 truly portable now ( in that it does not leave ANY registry entries)?

thank you

Hi guys!
First of all: Enjoy deleting this post I do not mind. And I still thank you for the work you made.

When I saw Portable APPs manager first I told myself: WOW! After using it I found AWKWARD behaviours, features and points which could be improved. I mean improved with small effort with big result value.

AWKWARD THINGS:

How can I let the apps automatically update without to have to confirm anything. So, e.g. when PortApps starts or after a special time it automatically shall look for updates and update all apps automatically.

How could I avoid these captchas on this forum? And why do members have to fill out captchas here?

Hi all,

Just installed PortableApps on my USB-stick. It looks good!

There are some things i couldn't find so quickly, only old topics or it's not clear for me.

• Is it easy to add own portable but paid software? I use the Pro-version of NoteCase and i like to integrate it.
• Can i easily ad a shortcut to the startmenu?
• Is there a searchbar available for the startmenu like the windows-startmenu?
• And, last but not least, how can i quickly register portable programs on a computer?

Hi,

I will copy /Data folder from my USB drive (E:\) to another local drive(F:\).

Is there any problem if I copy them with this command (example with Listary):

xcopy "E:\PortableApps\FILES\BACKUP DATA\ListaryPortable\Data" "F:\PortableApps\PortableApps\ListaryPortable\Data" /S /E /I /Q /H /K

Someone told me that I should use /O /X parameters which are:

/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/X Copies file audit settings (implies /O).

I've been searching for the past few hours and tried a bunch of different utilities, but none seem to do exactly what I need.

I have 2 files in the root directory of a network drive and a folder on that network drive that I'd like to sync with a backup copy on my USB drive.

Hi i have been testing the several antivirus apps here on portable apps in this list click here

1. calm win: seems to update virus definitions ok. and scan system. what i noticed is that it does not seem to do anything with detected viruses.
2. HijackThis Portable: again great scanning ability. but detects things that are not viruses. when checking the app and clicking analyse this button it gives error of not being connected to internet and i have to manually check them myself online.

I wanted to ask this as it was bugging me.

1. i noticed that when running portable app from the menu they seem to lag and take time to run. they are somewhat slower that i expect. really noticeable when using any of the portable browsers and using youtube etc.

2. i run avast antivirus and when ever i run any portable apps application avast detects a threat and scans the app. would love to know if anyone else uses avast and knows a tweak to set the portable apps directory to be ignored when running any portable apps.

my system is
os: win7 home premium 32bit
