Hi,

is it possible to submit a portable app to share it on portableapps.com?

does anyone know if portable apps will run on win mobile 6.1?
have not tried yet... thought i'd ask if anyone else had first.
thanks in advance

When one of the portable applications asks permission to upgrade itself directly from its own web site (which is not portableapps.com) what is the right way to behave?

Can the mentioned permission be given or is the newer release of the application to be waited for + downloaded from portableapps.com and "reinstalled" over the previous one as suggested on this site?

In other words:
do the two different ways of upgrading lead to the same final result or not?

Thanks

I have tried various apps especially those OpenOffice ones. They were very slow to the extent they were frozen or not really usable. I tried on one laptop running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with 4GB memory. I also tried on a desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit with 4GB memory.

Can somebody tell me what else I can do to improve the responsiveness? Does it matter if I run them on a standard user account, not an administrator account? Has it got anything to do with the size of the USB stick? Please advise!

Hello,
Are there any plans to offer an automated upgrade feature for the individual apps? It is time consuming to check each individual app for updates, and an automated upgrade feature would be greatly appreciated!

TIA,
Jon

I have been using Portable Start Menu 3.1 for a while. One of the features I like about it is that I can type a keyboard shortcut and it gives me a "Quick Start" option where I can begin typing the name of the app I'm looking for and run it that way instead of having to use the menu - sort of like how Windows 7 does it.

As app-namePortable.exe is supposedly only a launcher, why don't we terminate it after launching.

What is PortableApps.com Launcher 2.0? Is it something to convert a standard application to a portable app or is there something that would do the same?

Are there any portable apps that will convert to these formats?

Since it seems that we have some time to wait before Platform 2.0 beta 6 comes out im going to ask:
John what do you need to shorten the time this is going to require??

Pallet of Bug Spray??
Access to an Undisclosed Location??
Truck of Beer??
Truck of unmarked bills??

BTW im planning on showing Platform 2.0 to my College Professors as a More Intelligent Way.
