im noob on making portable app, but ive make some for me, anyone want me to make a port.app just pm me,maybe i can give some help or maybe i can make for you, just pm me.

I`ll releasing my project in near this day, it will be my beta test,so let me know if theres a bug,thanks

Please read rules, only oss license allowed, for non-oss, ill will make it trial or demo and its only for education purpose!!!!

I'm just wondering. After the site was back up I didn't see much change except for updated apps.
So what happened?

On June 29th at approximately 4pm NY time, another power issue caused part of RackSpace's Dallas Fort Worth data center to go down (taking RackSpace.com with it this time). As with last weekend, this hard crash of the server corrupted our database table space and, after power was restored, it took several hours to get up and running again and ensure that everything was preserved. No data was lost and all database indexes are intact.

We should have a store on PortableApps.com where people can buy flash drives with the portableapps icon on them (like the flash drive on the preloaders for portable apps) and preloaded with all the software, and maybe a few shirts too. I bet there are people who would kill for stuff like that, and they could also help the project.

Just a thought

Hi again,

NVU and Kompozer are kind of abandoned and old... and they have some issues with Win Vista.

Do you know about another portable open source html editor or that can be portabilized?

What's your opinion about Bluefish, Amaya and Xinha?

Comments are appreciated...

Piriform started to offer a U3 version of CCleaner on their website (Click)

But their not offering any version for PortableApps.com (.paf)...
Obviously we can use any portable app with the PortableApps menu quite easily. (We can rename and remove icons to fix any mess we get to(redundant icons)).
But having a .paf format app is nicer.

...Jerks.

I thought it would be helpful to create a list of programs that can be compacted using the PortableApps.com AppCompactor. I know that the PortableApps hosted here have been compacted prior to being posted. I was wondering if we could create a list of other programs that the AppCompactor can compress without negative effects (program won't launch after being compacted, etc.)

I am using a 4GB card (for now) with a Truecrypt container taking all but maybe 200mb. Using geek.menu with everything inside the encrypted container. When it launches, it start aMSN messenger and RocketDock. I want to have a program that will kill them, then the Portable apps menu, then un-mount the true crypt container and eject the disk. Is that possible?

Thanks

Now that you're making the icons for all PAF.exe files look the same--the PortableApps.com favicon with a little USB stick--instead of the app icon, we're gonna wind up with a folder full of sameness icon-wise... just makes it somewhat harder to differentiate between what you're looking for and what you're not. (I'll have to resort to actually reading the names of the files now!) Mostly, though, it gives the impression that you think the app being in PAF format is more important than the app itself.

Not preferred... I'm just sayin'.

Is PortableApps.com a 501(c)(3) or equivalent entity that would make donations US tax deductible?
