General Discussion

Okay, i just bought new 16gb sandisk cruzer flash drive.
Before it i used Transcend Jetflash 512mb.
After i copied all data, including portableapps, on cruzer, i got one small problem.
Firefox was extremely slow. (Standart Firefox portable, non-u3)
I disabled about ten addons, but i still get lags and freezes when i try to move on page or open new. Lags about 1-5 secs.
On transcend firefox working perfectly. But CheckFlash said that cruzer have read/write speed about x3 times faster than jetflash.
Pegtop PStart also working slower on cruzer, but other apps seems to work much faster...

Does anyone know what happened to the CXBX page? I thought I'd test it out today but the page is non existant

Here's the link from the test page table - https://portableapps.com/node/10893

Hopefully just a glitch

Will someone, please, point me to the FAQ that shows how to synch-up PortableApps with with desktop apps?

I need to be able to synch Bookmarks, data files, etc.

Also, is there a way to share settings, such as in Firefox so that they both perform the same way?

Thanks-

I just posted a comment about 5 minutes ago, the tracker [and comment itself] show it to be an hour and 5 minutes old. I also noticed this earlier.

so I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the forum servers time. If so I guess this could have something to do with DST switch. Today was the first time I noticed this.

There's a bug in Mines-Perfect when: if you select a huge quantity of columns/rows/mines (like 256), Mines-Perfect suddenly stops working with an error -- giving the same error and closing when you try to start it again.

Solution: Just delete \PortableApps\Mines-PerfectPortable\Data\settings\mineperf.ini

Hey Guys,

I know this topic may have been brought up before...but i was just wondering if AVG Free Antivirus could ever be made portable, as i have always thought AVG Free does a better job than Clamwin.

Thanks in advance for any replies or suggestions.

What's the history of JauntePE? Seems so mysterious. Why many talk about it so much?

What's going on with SourceForge lately? It's really annoying... when I click on an SF download link (like the one to download TBP), it first takes me to the SF main page. I then have to hit back and click the download link again to get the download...

It doesn't seem to be specific to PortableApps.com; I've seen it happen on other sites, too. But it seems to happen a lot more often with the download links here...

Hi, i was fiddling round on my computer the other day, and i found out that if i dragged a program folder from Program Files in Windows (Safari for example) into my PA folder on my portable apps drive, that it would launch off the PA menu, and would work 'portably' on another computer. From doing this, i managed to get Safari to work portably on any computer.

Would this be completly portable? or would it leave files on the users computer?

Hi All,

I have a peculiar behaviour going on when installing the portable apps.
I normally use Firefox, Sundird, Sumatra PDF, CalmWin, 7Zip, AbiWord, VLC and a few other apps.

When I install all of them to a single folder

F:\Portable Apps
They share the common folders APP, Data and Others. There was no issue with the previous installations, they all shared the resources properly.
