SSH Proxy for DNS only?

Submitted by Glorfyboy on April 12, 2011 - 9:52am

So some sacrilegious person or another decided to block the portable apps domain at work. Now, this isn't terribly difficult to get around, since I'm obviously doing it right now. However, though portableapps itself isn't a big deal as far as bandwidth consumption, other things tend to take up quite a bit and my upload speed from my home connection is poor at best...

reply with quote button

Does anyone else think the forums should have a "reply with quote" button?

It would be easier than typing in the HTML code. It would also be useful to people who don't know HTML, and don't bother to click on the "More information about formatting options" button to find out.

Under the weather, new app delay

Hey all. I've been under the weather the past couple of days, hence the delay with yesterday and today's new apps and the delay in getting the strings out for translators for the 2.0 release. It shouldn't affect the release schedule, though translators will have a few less days than planned. I'm thinking about suspending new app releases until next week just to ensure that they don't compete for time as we run to the finish, followed by doing a bunch of app releases right after 2.0 to catch up.

Logging in at portableapps.com\tracker has unexpected results

About half the time, when I log in at portableapps.com/tracker, I get logged in and redirected to the third or fourth page in the tracker. The other half the time, I get properly redirected back to the first page of the tracker. Any idea what's up with this unexpected behavior?

Security of PortableApps

Submitted by msauers on April 7, 2011 - 10:51am

My office does not support Chrome nor does it allow me to install software on my computer. So, I downloaded Chrome portable and put the directory in My Documents which then allowed me to run Chrome. (No auto updates and it can't be set as my default browser, but I'm willing to live with these annoyances.)

Moving Mp3gain Portable is not recommended

Submitted by jeangab on April 6, 2011 - 5:40pm

Hi,

I installed MP3GainPortable_1.2.5.paf.exe in folder A on my laptop, so a folder named MP3GainPortable was created in folder A. I ran MP3GainPortable.exe from that folder and it worked fine.
Then I decided to move folder MP3GainPortable to folder B (still on the same computer), and when I run MP3GainPortable.exe a message pops up which basically reads: "The MP3gain Portable path has changed from A to B since it was last launched. Moving portable applications is not recommended since some features could stop working. Do you want to continue?"
