General Discussion

I was looking at Thunderbird addons (I can't believe something as simple as File->Subscribe was the whole reason I couldn't run TB for a whole year...) I noticed Personas. And I thought (5 minutes ago), the PAM could use Personas. It would solve nearly every single gripe about theming it, including resizing (just grab a different sized persona) and complexity (just make a pic of a certain size). It'd be a good goal for PAM 3.0...

Hi,

When I use some portable application on Windows 7, I found that they don't "compatible" with Windows 7, the description "compatible" maybe not accurate, so please see the following screen shot.

Note:Seems I can't insert a picture here.

The first Firefox icon on the superbar is the FirefoxPortable.exe, after I click it to start the Firefox, it will launch the real Firefox.exe and show a icon of Firefox as the second icon on the superbar.

I love the idea of the portable apps, and have tried it over a year now. Firefox is buggier than IE ever dreamed of being, and upgrading software or being asked to every time you use it is annoying. The office apps and pdf reader are decent but still hit or miss if you use them much. Love the planetarium app and the games.

Basically I use(d) this at work where I move around a lot. When it works, it is fantastic, but most of the time it is on the same level of frustration as working thru DOS. I am too old to put up with that crap again.

Hi, guys.

I'm using Internet Explorer 8 and when I visit PortableApps.com the RAM it uses is more than 350 MB. This does not occur when I use Firefox (it uses less than 100 MB). The high memory usage only occurs when I visit this site. I've tested it with two other PCs and the behavior is the same.

Can the PortableApps.com management give guidelines on how to use CCleaner Protable to clean our PortableApps?

I was going through the site as normal, when I noticed that Norton had given Patrick's website a false positive. I wanted to send a PM to him, telling him about this, and showing him how he could claim ownership of the site and request a reevaluation, when I realized there was no PM button.

Does this feature exist, and if so, how do you use it.

Hello,

I am wondering if a legal copy of Office 2003 can be packaged in PortableApps format? Is this technically possible?

I am not talking about MS licensing issues, but would be interested if the PortableApp format is advanced enough to handle such an app (wits its tons of registry entries) correctly.

Any feedback is appreciated.

I thought somebody would've noticed it by now, but apparently not. It says:

Please Help Translate The PortableApps.com Platfom 2.0 Today!

It should be "Platform", not "Platfom".

Hello Folks from Norway...
I am actaully English,for the time being...until my citizenship comes through.I am 54 married..and have a lot of health issues..which makes many basic things difficult.

Ok,I will try to be as brief as possible and to the point.
I am in the process of buying a 350GB external 2.5" portable lacie Hard-drive,at first i just wanted something to store Giga Bites of Music,Audio book,Photo`s,& documents..I do not wish to have to expalin..but for very valid reasons i am forced to give up my Laptop (dell studio)
and try to work at least once a week on another PC?

I was wondering before the beta goes gold, is there any chance to be able to have a bigger menu?

The menu looks good but if I have a larger screen I think I should be able to use it.

Thank you
