General Discussion

Just updated Pencil Project via updater, but wanted to d/l 2.0.3 binary as well. The Pencil Project PA page still includes the 2.0.2 download.

Can go directly to SourceForge PA Project, but thought I would mention this.

Still looking forward to seeing PA12.0.

Cheers.

I'd like to add custom icons to some of the subfolders in my Documents folder, similar to the Music, Videos & Pictures folders. I know how to achieve this, but I'd like the icons to match the style of the Portable Apps built in folders, but I can't find the source for the icons that are used.

I'm trying to have an encrypted USB for my files at both work and school. I don't have any UAC access, but I do have everything else, cmd, viewing the registry, etc.

Is there any program that does not require to be installed to the host machine and doesn't require admin access? TrueCrypt needs admin access in order to run in portable mode, so that won't work.

Hey, I just tried installing Maxthon, but the PAF version was down, so I got the one from their site. But the EXE's in a different location; the main folder has another set of folders inside it, and the EXE is located in one of those subfolders. Can I get an app that's laid out like to show up in the launcher menu? Thanks!

I can download the program on the site. I can not even through the apps.
Everything else works fine. Please, fix it.

Can anyone recommend a very lightweight invoicing/receivables app for personal use?

I have no regular Java installed on the Windows system.

But strangely I can still bulk upload files to Box.com via it's Java bulk uploader. I don't have to start anything. So the Portable Java works automatically with Portable Iron without starting anything?

The main problem is it crashed my PC! It reboots from the Java multi-uploader all the time.

I want to know when will will portable apps 12 (beta) will be released.
The extension manager looks cool.

so, I finally get around to buying a Window 7 laptop (still use my ond XP desktop as my main computer),

and I see that yes, when you right click on a file the Version tab is gone.

This is annoying because with Portable Apps that use an online installer (eg: Google Chrome Portable), by downloading the online.paf.exe and right clicking it (in XP) I can get the info to download the chrome_installer.exe, which when placed in the same folder as the online.paf.exe will allow for a 'offline' install

It is probably a (very) bad idea to re-allow devices to autorun (especially on work computers), it was disabled for a reason.

But for those who want to do so I saw an interesting story on raymond.cc

The first of the two programs looks promising.
