What do you think about better java support: It checks if in appinfo.ini the start value is a class or jar file and run it if java is found on the memorystick with it or if not it searches in the registry if java is installed and run it.
Its not that much code and I would love it

Hi!

The Sage RSS reader is currently part of the Applications list. Unfortunately, Sage has a serious and well-known vulnerability that could allow a user's system to be remotely compromised. The vulnerability has existed for over a year, so IMHO the Sage author(s) have been given plenty of time to fix it; they have not, and addons.mozilla.org is taking action against Sage.
Because of the vuln, the seriousness of it, and the length of time it's remained unpatched, I think Sage should be removed from the list of applications.

Pardon me if I put this into the wrong section, a mod can move to where need be if so.

I was thinking, What are all the possible things you can think of that you can('t) do with the Apache License 2.0?

I just got a 750GB portable hard drive, and I want to be able to backup my data to some of it (I've only got an 80GB hard drive in my PC), and run portable apps, store VM disks, and store old data on the rest of it. Best way to do this? Partitions? Folders?

Hi,

I have visited [link to illegal site removed by mod JTH] & was wondering if they were linked with your website? also they have a load of good apps on there that isn't on here, maybe you should get the same as them, they have things like photoshop & illustrator which you don't have, i was wondering if you were thinking of uploading them?

Thanx,
Charlie

Hi guys,

Ive just bought eee pc 1008ha and I straight away looked for some portable apps and here is my major issue:

Will SD card (i dont want usb stick) will be faster than my 2,5" 250gb hdd?
and if it were, is it worth buying more expensive 20/20 write/read card? than for example decent Transcend 12/18 write/read card? and how is it all in consideration of my eeepc card reader?

I'll appreciate every help

Is there a (free) way to have the USB drive with my PortableApps install automatically synchronize folders when it is inserted into my home computer?
I know that Toucan could do this with an autorun script, but this would not work with newer OS's like Windows 7. I also know that SyncBack SE can do this, but it coasts $30 or so.
Is there free a program I could install on my home computer to accomplish this sync when a particular USB drive is inserted?

Thanks,
Ari

I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 3.0. When I restarted Thunderbird, it froze and slowed to a halt when trying to index. I restored my settings to a day earlier. However, when I try to open Thunderbird it does not work. It looks as if it is trying but nothing ever appears.
I would like to get my old settings, addresses and messages but I don't know how.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
R

I think that it is in PA.c's best interests to make a PAM theme gallery, something like Google Chromes gallery (thumbnails, name, and a link for a larger preview and download).

Obviously the PAM 2.0 needs to come out. I think that an addition like this would make it better known that PAM can be customized.

I understand that most resources behind this site is devoted to other (and arguably more important) things, but this may become increasingly important as PA.c becomes more mainstream.
