General Discussion

the only thing I found here was this thread https://portableapps.com/node/4718 but did not answer it. No luck with Google either. If PAF s work, then u should change all ur pages' title ''X | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives'' to reflect that, just saying.

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

Little FYI.. I started a SVNPortable project on sourceforge today. Thought it be nice if one could just download a file, unpack it and start using it without jumping through allot of hoops. I've been fiddling around with SVN on Win32 lately and have gotten ..some.. results. This fiddling has turned into a hobby project. I say hobby because I use SVN mainly for DEV without messing around with it. I'm not a expert at SVN and learning as I go like allot of people, however I'm writing steps as scripts & batch files to make SVN easier in this distribution.

I guess this post is mainly for Simeon but I just wanted to ask if you had ever looked at making the server component portable? I can't remember what the last decision was about it, but I think you were just going to leave it, since we had sort of concluded it wasn't necessary. However, I've since realized that one key reason to make the server component portable is that you need it for LAN games.

Is the PA.c Opera 11 going to be free of that Bug that the PA.c Opera 10.63 had regarding the Profile Folder NOT working correctly? Cuz I don't want to waste time downloading it with my Dial Up if it's going to have the same Bug.

Hi!

I'd like to know how can I pass parameters to Portable Chrome (other than using batch file)? Is there any solution for it?

I use Bibletime. Its executable is one level deeper than typical portable apps, located in PortableApps/Bibletime/bin.

How would I make the executable appear in the PA menu? I tried a simple windows shortcut but that didn't cut it.

Apologies of this has been discussed before; I searched everywhere but could not find a relevant topic.

My friend had no applications on his XP machine, so I installed Portable OpenOffice, Gimp, and several others in a folder I named "PortableApps" in his Program Files directory on drive C. I put shortcuts to the applications on his Quick Start toolbar.
Everything works fine, but Stellarium had to be installed in its own folder on drive C because it can't handle spaces in directory names.

Since a longer time I use the Platform from the Website [link removed by mod JTH] instead of the PortableApps.com Platform. The reason for my personal decision is, that in the Platform of [link removed by mod JTH] I can integrate the software in several categories (Internet, Multimedia, Graphics, System, Security, Office, Utility and Extra). I my opinion is this GUI better and clearly arranged as the PortableApps.com Platform. What about with a little change of the GUI of the PortableApps.com Platform in this direction?

Dear Forums,

I added an additional drive to my machine. The new drive C:\ holds the Windows system partition and, of course, the PortableApps directory (C:\PortableApps).
The new drive C:\ is a copy or clone of the former system drive, which is now known as F:\.

Whenever I download and install a new PortableApp on my system, it wants to install into the old system drive F:\PortableApps, not the new C:\ location.

Could you please point me into a direction how to fix this?

Thanks alot,

NiM
