Looking for notepad with

Submitted by arindamc on December 20, 2011 - 7:00pm

Hello,

I am looking for a "notepad" style portable app which includes "auto save every x minutes" and "backup" features. I downloaded all the apps I could find like akelpad, notetap2, notetap++, but it seems that I cannot find any app which includes both the features.

Am I missing anything? Smile

I was using my portable hard drive one minute and then the next it doesn't even register. It's also making a constant noise like it's trying to boot up but it just doesn't. When I do the safely remove it's registered on the computer but not as the name that I created for it. What can I do?

@New Apps

Submitted by ufd4376 on December 15, 2011 - 9:26pm

It says here: "New apps every day is on a brief hiatus while we finish up the PortableApps.com Platform 'Next' release. We'll be releasing lots more new apps once it's done!" But the platform is already done, but it says here, https://portableapps.com/news/2011-12-08_-_portableapps.com_platform_10.... that he's going to start new apps again.

One week has passed, but no new apps. Could it be that no further new apps will be released after InstantBird?

Submitting new topics on the Forums - Little problem.

Submitted by michele.bartole... on December 13, 2011 - 11:05am

Hi,

when someone decides to submit a new topic on the Forum, he could encounter a little annoying situation. He starts writing the body of his question/topic, and halfway he decides to open the "More information about formatting options" link, to see how he could emphasize a word, or add a smiley. The page replaces the previous one, and when he found the info looked for and goes back through the browser...

all the text of the topic has disappeared.

Had someone already noticed that?

bulk app installs

Submitted by jeth on December 9, 2011 - 7:07pm

I don't know if the ability to select apps for download from within the Portable Apps platform is new or not, but I just found it and think it's great!

I was starting with a fresh install of the latest platform which doesn't come with any apps other than the music offering. So when I looked at it and found that I could just check the apps I wanted and then let the platform download and install them from one operation, I was very pleased.

Getting more Donors

Submitted by OLLI_S on December 9, 2011 - 5:07am

Hello,

I saw in the donor list, that not many people donated for PA.
One way how to make people donor money would be to add the donor status to the username in the forums.

So instead of my username "OLLI_S" there is my rank displayed:
OLLI_S (Supporter).

This might encourage people to donate money.

If some users help in the forums (answering questions and helping users) they might get also a special rank.
They helped a lot although they did not donate money (they donated time).

Greetings

OLLI

Shorter URL

Submitted by Motosuwa on December 8, 2011 - 4:05pm

What if the site could just be accessed with a short URL, like PA.c? (Kinda like Overstock's URL... Sorry if this would violate CR law...)
