Hi.

One question, would be possible to create portable apps for Linux? Would them work in all distros without having to use different versions for each one? Or would it weight too much?

For anyone who's interested, they're giving away 1-year licenses.

In the email I got with the license key, I also got a code for 50% off a lifetime license.

I know it stores preferences in %appdata%, so it's not portable, but I think the CLI app usr.exe can be used portably.

First sorry for my bad english.

My question is:
what should be the read and write speed of a usb stick, which will allow software to be runned from it?

And if it's different for every program, which is the best (optimal) read/write speed who will allow most programs to run?

Thanks!

So here is my thought....

They do Wine for windows and basically you can install applications into it. But if we could make wine portable then we could install apps into it and have even more portable apps!

I was wondering if it is ok to d an antivirus bootscan on a flash drive. thought this would be a good thing to ask others may be interested as well.

I have a 20gig flash memory external harddrive
and use the free Avast antivirus program (the free version has option to do boot scan)

Because today is thanksgiving, I believe that we should thank John Haller and all the other developers.

They all take the time to update the site and keep the apps up to date and keep brining in new apps.

If you don't have a turkey yet, here's one.

I hope OOo3 and TB3 will be implemented soon

Hello all,

After a very annoying day of searching for a portable CAD viewer I decided to create my own. The following are simple instructions on how to create the u3p file yourself since I have no site to host it on.

First download the LiteCAD zipfile from www.litecad.com.
Unzip the file into a directory and move the lcfont executable to the end of the directory

we are going to use packagefactory to create the u3p file and it will just grab the first executable in the directory for the u3p file

Download packagefactory from www.softpedia.com

Install it and run it.

Hi,

I just wanted to ask if there is a tool (preferable with PortalbeApps) with which I can keep & open some encrypted files on my Stick.

Thanks for any help,

I wanted to use a couple of the U3 porable progams on my non U3 Smartdrive USB. I figured out a way to to it.

1. Download a U3 app from the SanDisk website.
2. Right click on the app an open it with WinRar.
3. WinRar will give you an error. Ignore it and you should still be able to view the files inside the U3 exe.
4. Now click on "Convert to SFX". You can use the default options and click on.
5. It will convert the U3 exe and the icon may change to a WinRar exe file.
6. Now right click the exe and extract the files.
