General Discussion

This seems to be a good idea that nobody has really tried to start yet.
Imagine...
That PortableApps.com had a wiki, that was informative, useful, and maybe even fun.
Now imagine...
That we could refer to the wiki in forum postings, instead of having to post an age-old topic.
Now...
Let's make that a reality!

But what about spam?
Only mods can give write access to the wiki, and to make the access fair, you need to post at least 4 useful posts to show that you know your stuff and that you can help... the wiki.

The google chrome os is set to come out soon!!! Its open source and I was wondering if we could have this actually portable. I was wondering though if anyone knew if it would be possible to actually download the whole thing (not like google chrome portable, where you have to have a local install). Is there any license issues? Maybe we could get around it and portable-ize an *unofficial* version of it (from here: http://www.bestfreewaredownload.com/freeware/t-free-google-operating-sys...)

how can i organize apps in the menu within groups ??

Since this is an add-on for an application, it won't get a full front-page announcement as with normal applications. But, now that the server issues have been fixed, Diashapes has been released!

I'm just curious why people use download managers these days. Over the years I've used all manner of different ones that have come and gone. However, these days, the fact is, I find that I rarely need one (if at all), for several reasons:

I would provide with pleasure a German version of PortableApps.com Installer. Is this permitted? I had tried to compile anew the Installer, however, an error message agreed. Need I additional Plugins?

Is there an easy to use program that can create portable apps. I have a few programs that I would like to make portable as they aren't available in a portable version.

I'm looking for a portable application that will compare files in a folder and sub-folders and allow you to copy or sync as you choose.

There is a commercal application I really like named FolderMatch at FolderMatch.com but it cost $35 and it seems you have to buy a seperate copy for every PC you service.

1 - Is there a portable app like FolderMatch?
2 - Can you convert a standard app to a PortableApp?

Thanks for any help.

Warning about Notepad++ 5.5: On my system it first refused to acknowledge the hex editor, then proceeded to delete another plugin repeatedly. I went back to an earlier version of this program and will not trust any further updates.

How can I automatically update in one step all applications of a suite? E.g. when starting the suite all apps shall be updated automatically (may be in a special period).

Nice greetings, Dirk
