Hi, ...

Did you see that news ?

http://www.betanews.com/article/PortableApps-Platform-PreRelease-21-Buil...

Installed portableapps Google Chrome, imported all my IE bookmarks. But where are they now stored? I cannot find the bookmarks anywhere in the google chrome portableapps folder.

Someone mentioned in a forum about OSCON that John could be recognized by the USB drive hanging from his neck. This got me thinking, would it be worth selling specific PA USB drives with the logo on it and the menu pre-installed? It could help raise money for further PA development, fans get something tangible and it makes for good promotional material.
After I graduate, I will definitely buy one of these if available, and show off like a nerdy peacock prancing around with his feathers.

Hello!

In the app directory TinyTask doesn't have the info that it's "only" freeware. Perhaps someone can fix that.

Regards,
Leon

Introduce PortableApps to more weibo friends
I registered one,

but has nothing on it now.

I'm "triggering" PA menu from a program called WinShortcuts so is that a problem?

Thanks

Firstly congrats to the dev net here at pa.com

Hereby I request "Categories" or Folders for apps in the PortableApps Directory for the future burgeoning market so there is no reader fatigue, eg "FireFox" directory related to nightlies, releases and betas.

I reside in Nicaragua.

When I want to download Libre Office I am redirected to a repository in the University of Costa Rica (mirrors.ucr.ac.cr). The download speed is 9.71 kb/s and the lowest reported download time I have attained is 4h 29 min.

How can I access another download location?

Thanks in advance,

I found a solution by miself. Opened the source code viewer and looked at the download address, changing the %2F to '/' and the download proceeded at 126 kb/s.

Thanks

Just wanted to let the whole wide world know that John will be presenting everything portable apps at the Open Source Convention on Friday streamed live at 11.

Cutos! (or is it Cudos? Firefox says they're both mispelled).
It's Kudos (thanks kAlug).

Kudos!

Anyway, here's the article (I didn't know you donated a kidney! :))

[EDIT] Wait, was there going to be an official announcement? In that case, ya'll can delete this topic.

Hi,

I've been wondering if it would make sense to run all my apps out of a single file eg. a zip file in order to avoid the myriad of small files some portable apps like perl[1] and R[2] have. Big installations with lots of small files makes writing the stuff to a usb drive very slow. I don't care much for the compression but rather that it is one file or a small number of files.

I saw the AppCompactor, but as far as I can tell it compresses one file at a time.
