Installation of All Language Packs

Submitted by Saleh on January 2, 2011 - 3:12am

I've noticed that mostly, all portable apps install all language packs available without giving the option to the use to choose. I know you might have wanted to make the installation as unobtrusive as it is now, but some language packs are hefty in size and only burden the storage device for no reason. When I went through my potable apps installation to clean all the unnecessary language files, I cleared around 15-20 MB of language files alone.

Dear Portable Apps Team,

I am Claudia from Vienna, Austria, having just joined your forum - finally Wink
Now I would like to express my gratefulness to all of you for your great Portable Apps I had been using for very long time.

Actually, I was not sure what to choose in your sign-up form when asked for the main device I have stored your Apps, since I have been happily making use of all of them, such as on

- Desktop PCs, notebooks and my new Tablet: hard-disk or second partition;
- EeePCs: Memory Card
- in addition to USB sticks and USB drives, etc.

Text Encryption Tool

Anyone know of a visual text encryption tool like ClipSecure. By visual I mean that the encrypted text is not stored in a file but presented in a GUI that the user can then copy and paste into another application, say an email client for example. Basically, I need to stored text in encrypted form but not in a file, just as (printable) text.

Opera 11 erased profile - again!

Submitted by smradich on December 29, 2010 - 11:32am

Hi, i just want to report that there's a serious bug in Opera 11 portable edition, and i assume that it's the same bug from previous versions - Opera is erasing profiles on startup AGAIN, and this is totally unacceptable behavior.

This is the third time since the Opera 11 release arrived that i've got overwritten/erased profile. And btw, i've spent days to tune and customize each of those profiles to work the way they should.

Now i'm back on Opera@USB 10.63, and maybe it's not as portable as OperaPortable edition (read it somewhere), but at least it works.

How to manage the portable applications effectively?

Submitted by helloworld on December 24, 2010 - 4:07am

Greetings,

Use the portable apps since 2009. and really I'm a happy user! It becomes mine habit means I always try to find the portable version for any software. So the software increase as time goes on. I have to think how to manage so many applications in a single portableapps effectively.

Maybe it's a good idea to add new ability that can set the categories and drop the each software to its own category. So that the software can be located with ease!

Is anyone agree with me? Or other ideas?

Thanks!

PS are old threads auto locked after certain time? Cuz in gave thread, I couldn't reply/post to it
