General Discussion

Hi all,

I just search the forum and found some entries concerning RSS feed not updating automatically. But there was no solution so far. It's some days ago I started to add the portableapps.com RSS feed. If I reload the feed dynamic manually all works fine. But it's not downloded automatically. I've several other feeds that all work (checked it with wireshark).

I'm using the latest version of FF 3.6.10 on 2 different boxes with 2 different OS (XP and Win7) seeing the same behaviour.

Is there a solution?

Thanks.

I want to monitor some softwares.
where can I download the last up-to-date version of Regshot.
and just common sense, Isnt there something like Fileshot?

Thank you very much.

You have looked at my name and you understand I'm just a beginner.
I want to learn about computer and technology and science.
you know that interesting stuff that was used to invent the computers

Is it possible to add shortcuts to the suite's start menu for programs not packaged by PortableApps?

I'd like to be able to launch Transcendence and some other programs from my pocket drive from the suite instead of digging through files to get to the exe. I don't have the knowhow to make my own apps.

Ok here is my situation and what I mean by the title.

I have a friend and a family member that like me use Pidgin. Both of them are not very techy and guiding them step by step on how to download, install and activate plugins for pidgin can sometimes be a nightmare. I have even written the steps-by-steps on a TiddlyWiki for them to have access to even without having to access the web, and they still do it wrong.

Everytime I start Windows I have to do this tedious work:
1) Start Pageant.exe
2) Add a key to pageant (locate file, choose it, key in password. Enter)
3) Start Putty.exe
4) Select, Load and open the session needed.

Puh!!

Just wonder if someone has bothered to find a way to automate this, but haven't been able to locate a solution. Most threads are 2-3-4 years old, so seemingly no-one is any longer logging in to their servers using SSH!?

i would like too protect my key with a password
do you no an apps for this

Not sure if this is the right category to post into, but I have done some homework on this issue....help! ok.

I need a bootable menu for a usb device holding all bootable[only] applications, like OSs et al.

Please advise of ~ easiest solution to this. I have problems with command lines and using cmd lines trying to set this up. Looked at Grub4dos, but, still no better.

hopefully, Thanks

Howdy. Google Chrome Portable got mentioned by Technibble today as a repair tool: http://www.technibble.com/google-chrome-portable-internet-browser/

Technibble basically caters to computer repair technicians, so this mention is worth something

Keep up the good work guys.

Hello, I'm learning game programming at school, and I want to use my USB drive to store my work etc.

I wanted to know that if for example the portable putty or portable notepad++ do less memory access than the original programs, so it doesn't make unnecessary memory access when using the executable, launching it directly when it's on the USB drive...

PortableApps provide a great service for those who use computers that are locked down so that preferential software cannot be installed. Often times the reason for this is that the owners of the computers do not want inexperienced users (or even sometimes, experienced users) to install questionable software that may contain a virus. This is a security measure. PortableApps provides a work around to this, as it allows other, sometimes better software to be used.
