General Discussion

I found this site called [we do not link to illegal sites Moderator Zach Thibeau]. all the apps there are in portableapps.com format but i have a question is it legal to have photoshop portable or other non free apps portablized

I have searched the forums a couple times and it shows that this topic has been discussed a few times before, but they were all atleast a year ago (as far as I could see.)

I ran across this program "Usb Secure"
http://download.cnet.com/USB-Secure/3000-2092_4-10966564.html

I was wondering if anyone had looked into it yet, and if it actually is a solution for this topic.

Hi, I was just wondering if there is a way to search the forums by date. If there is one and I'm too dumb to find it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, thank you to all the developers here that turn out such great work, you are all awesome.

Hello, I would like to develop software to run on a USB stick, which language is normally used?

How do?

Hi all,

Quick question please,

If an APP is listed as: "System Requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7"
does that mean it will run under x86 and x64 versions of windows??

Tnx a bunch!

Sincerely,

I created my Autorun system to start applications on a inserted drive. I made it as a executable not loaded with Windows. An icon on the desktop to the executable is activated prior to any drive being inserted. A file Action.txt replaces Autorun.inf.

Anyway it is free and what I use to autostart just about anything when a drive is inserted. The program aborts after it does its job ready for the next drive.
Download at http://autorun.inkmon.org. A readme explanation is included.

When you have the tools ato build and fix (debug) programs
The open source community will be grow.
I think is really important to release it first.
When you start to release new aoos?

Thank you for your hard work.
I think you doing great job,
and helping to open source community.

Wow PortableApps has been busy as of late with all the updated apps, as well as the updates being made to the platform. Has the acceptance of new apps been put on a back burner? Are we waiting for another Month to remember? Just wondering??

Are there also older versions of Opera Portable available or only the current one?

P.S.: Can someone explain, why many freeware Portable Apps are only available via download.portableapps.com (and apparently only the recent one?)

Don't know if anyone has noticed this happen (I did have search) before but FF has been using the wrong Java here.

Background: looking at a performance issue I found FF Portable was using
C:\PROGRA~1\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
rather than something under
\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java

Uninstalling QT left remnants in the XP registry like
QTJAVA=C:\PROGRA~1\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
that needed to be tidied by hand and eye.

FF and similar apps that rely on Java are much happier now.
