General Discussion

Hello,

I'm a new member on this forum, and although I try to be a good girl through learning by doing I have a huge problem:

I try to install portable versions of freeware software such as Skype portable (etc.) but although I can install (and use) it I cannot put them to the apps menu - as far as I think it's because the mentioned software has not the typical *paf.exe signature.

or I'm wrong in my steps...

I'd like to see added either under the Help link or where you add a picture in the upper right corner a way to add a Lost\Found ownership tag with name\address etc.

That way as soon as PortableApps you can see who the dive belongs to.

For anyone who enjoys twitblogging the interscape, PortableApps.com is now on Twitter. You'll get a tweet about every new app we release as well as platform releases. Plus you'll get a few behind the scenes tweets about how a new app or the platform is progressing or new site designs and features.

You'll always know what's going on with PortableApps.com.

You can find PortableApps.com on Twitter here:

Just wanted to let everyone know that the whole site has switched from using the Tango icon set under the CC-Attribution license to the Oxygen Icons set which is dual licensed under the GPL and CC-Attribution. This means that we can now use our main icon pack within applications and splash screens now. Plus the new category icons will be used for the default categories (aka folders) within the PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 - which will have a test release shortly.

can these portable applicatons be used in mobiles............ because iam using nokia E 61i. what can i do to use these valuble applications in symbian OS. please try to help me.

i do alot of internaitonal traveling and have always been frustrated with having to change computer all the time at internet cafes and.. i searched to portable desktops and tried a few webOS.. nothing struck my fancy. webOS is cool but i need to be able to access my info offline as well.. there are pleanty of portable apps out there (as evidenced by this sit,) but i want to be able to isolate my desktop from the host machine not simply start up another program.. and to top off the challenge; i want cross-platform comatibility.

Hey,

Whenever I insert my HDD in the USB, the autoplay menu does not show the portable apps in the list. Pls. can someone tell me how I can get it to appear in the autoplay menu.

Thanks.

I've downloaded the portableApps 1.5.2 three times this morning, and each time they are failing to run because:

"NSIS Error
Installer integrity check has failed"

I've hit up different mirrors on sourceforge, so to me, it seems like they are all broken.

In preparation for a faster release cycle, I'd like all developers to have a homepage and news story-ready description and feature list included with their main posts for all development tests and pre-releases. If you have any additional notes that should be added to the page or release story, those should be noted as well. We're going to be going through the list of apps more thoroughly and many apps with just minor omissions (missing a help file, some appinfo errors, etc) will be cleaned up and released directly rather than taking additional time.

It appears that ICQ is reporting that the latest version of Pidgin is out of date....Anyone else notice this?

The regular installation og the current Pidgin does not have this problem.

thanks

Thom
