About a week ago I noticed that the login fields are a bit too long. Maybe this can be fixed?
I made sure my Firefox's zoom settings arent set so I think its not my copy of Firefox.

EDIT: I think its me after all as other browsers are fine. I updated my Linux box last week so maybe thats the cause.

Way to create absolute/permanent links to programs on USB drive?

Submitted by prr on October 23, 2011 - 9:16am

I have started using portable apps on my USB drive. I have noticed, however, that creating shortcuts to my apps doesn't always give me the results I want, because on my laptop at home, the USB is the E drive. On other computers that I use it on, it is labeled the B drive.

Is there a way to create shortcuts that always point to the app in the folders, regardless of the letter than Windows gives to the USB drive itself?

Portable Fonts

One question about portable fonts:

Can I use subfolders for fonts? (like C:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts\myspecialfont\font.ttf)

And a quick note: I think the paragraph about fonts should be added to the suite support page.

Cornice and Win7 64bit

Submitted by romulous on October 16, 2011 - 9:12am

Hi,

Could someone with Win 7 64bit please check to see if Cornice runs on that OS? I have just installed it, and nothing happens when I run it. I can see the PortableApps launcher in Task Manager, I can see it launches the main Cornice executable - but the Cornice executable then immediately closes (presumably followed by the launcher).

If someone else can verify that it works on Win 7 64bit, it must be something on my system that is the problem.

Thanks!

Running program from USB is disallowed, is separate Data folder possible?

Submitted by arifsaha on October 8, 2011 - 5:32pm

Hi!

I often use some computers who disallowed running any executable from removable drives, although I can run them fine after copying it to local drive. So I cannot run PortableApps' applications directly from USB drives.

I can copy the PortableApps folder in entirety to local drive and run it there, but then I have to remember to copy the Data folder back before I left. An operation that can also be risky (if the copying interrupted, I may ended up with highly inconsistent Data folder.
