General Discussion

We're in the final stretch of development to the new PortableApps.com Platform and we've been having some internal discussions on changing the version of it. 2.0 has been very long in coming and the final version will be quite different from last year's betas. Realistically, we've been conservative with versioning in the past, opting for 1.5 (which probably should have been 2.0), a too-long 2.0 beta which should have just been 3.0 followed by a 4.0 with categories soon after. So, we've been thinking about changing it.

Some options (including some silly ones) are:

I am trying to set up Portable Apps from fully installed apps settings and/or preferences for Opera, VLC, Notepad++, and Seamonkey.

I have been unable to locate any documentations showing where the various settings are stored in the Portable App. I think this important information should be detailed on each app's support page.

I spent literally hours trying to match this up between the two app versions (fully installed versus Portable).

Any help on this or better yet some simple documentation where the settings in your PortableApps version is would be enormously helpful.

Hello!
Dear administrators, do not count on advertising.
I have a domain patheme.com and I would like to sell it. As you know, it patheme format menu themes for PortableApps.com. Perhaps there are people who deal with themes and want to have the same name of the website.

A week or so back I was having trouble getting LibreOffice to start. When I would try to start it, it would reply that another instance was already running and refuse to start. Solution finally turned out to be to delete an ini file with an astoundingly long name from the Data folder. Today I was trying to start up Irfanview portable and encountered the same problem with the same solution. I've used portable apps for years and never encountered this before. Has some general change occurred which causes this? Do we need a cleanup app? Or have I just been unlucky?

You currently have the forum heading reading as:

Quick Status Update (July 10 & 17th) - Content delivery network online (June 2nd) - Full Status Update Expected

If you were to rearrange them as:

Content delivery network online (June 2nd) - Quick Status Update (July 10 & 17th) - Full Status Update Expected

They would be in chronological order and the two Update links would be together and thus harder for readers to miss the link to the Quick one.

Someone on The Admin Zone Forums at the thread http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87188 mentioned a WAMP server could be acquired here. IS that true>

I have a client who would like to demo a classic asp / ms sql website right from a thumb drive. No development needed on the drive, just run the site from it for demo purposes. I'm thinking it would need something like apache server, and for the ms sql maybe we'd need to convert it to MySql. Anybody done anything like that? Any ideas? Anything out there that would accomplish this out of the box?

I am setting up a collection of Portable Apps on a USB thumb drive and I want to use something like Rocketdock to launch them. However, when I set up the program path in Rocketdock it requires the drive to be included. (ex. P:\PortableApps\7Zip\7Zip.exe). When using the USB drive on various computers, it is likely that the USB drive will be assigned a drive letter other than P:. Yes, I know how to manually assign a drive letter to the USB, but I don't want to have to do this on every computer I may plug the thumb drive into.

Well, sometimes I'm in work and want to download and install some PortableApps to my pendrive. But because local user rights, I cannot install them.

It there an way to get "extractable packages" of existing PortableApps apps, or to extract files from them instead of running the app?
