Just FYI for anyone interested, as of 1.0.2, foobar2000 uses relative paths in its native playlist file for portable installs. IIRC, the use of absolute paths in the playlist was the only thing keeping it from being truly portable.

Release Team Discussion Thread

So after talking about nomination earlier it quickly became clear that actually before we could set a team up we needed to know what it was doing!

There are some initial thoughts here, and as the discussion moves on I will update this post. Some things to think about are:

  • Shedule for clearing the backlog
  • What actually needs to be tested
  • How is the work going to be split up
  • How much responsibility and power should the head have
  • When is it right to move an app between stages

Release Team Nominations : Take 2

Please see this post for the latest discussion.

So, as mentioned in the latest status update the release team is rising, phoenix like, from the ashes of the last attempt.

This is the nomination thread, you may either nominate yourself or someone else, but that person must then confirm that they can make the time commitment needed to be part of the team and that they actually want to!

What is the release team?

Spam Report Post

As I saw more and more spam posts popping up here and there lately, I thought it would be cool to have a post where people could report spam posts and then Moderators could go and delete them.

I cant delete the posts myself but I hope this is still helpful.

Question: How do I delete comments like in the other "Outdated Apps" thread? Or do only mods have that power?

Hi!

Help much appreciated!!! Thank you!

What causes a Flash Drive to wear out ?

Submitted by 8ball on April 21, 2010 - 1:07pm

I know that writing to it produces wear, and there is a limit on how much you can write to it until it becomes unusable.

does Reading from it also produces wear ? if I read hundreds of MB off my USB daily causes wear ? and if so is it the same amount as with Writing ?

thanks Wink

UltiDev Cassini Web Server

Hello,

From one of the discussion I saw that UltiDev Cassini Web Server supports ASP.NET application hosting, but does not speak whether it works on PortableApps. If it works on PortableApps how to install it on the pendrive and make it host ASP.NET application. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

App doesn't retain settings

Submitted by dduffner on April 20, 2010 - 11:59am

I recently added Juice to my PA flash drive but Juice doesn't retain things like the list of subscribed podcasts that I have.

I'm not sure what's causing this but it is annoying and I was curious if adding it as a non-PA program, as opposed to one that has been put into PA format, is what the issue is.

TIA!
