With the new WINE 1.1.6 out came a lot of bug fixes. One of them was bug 3915 that made gtk apps all black.

As this bug is fixed now, apps like Pidgin Portable and GIMP Portable, just to name a few, are now compatible with WINE.

Here is an image of Pidgin Portable running under WINE 1.1.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 (my machine):

I can't download any apps from this site, even with my firewall off. Any ideas?

Hello!

I'm a new member.
I'm able to read some explanation in English, but I don't be able to write (properly ) in this language. I've found https://portableapps.com/forums/other_languages/german.
German people are lucky.
But does it exist something like ...portableapps.com/forums/other_languages/french?
I haven't found this by myself...

Is there any way to make OE portable? Its mail database is portable in a way as you can setup the location; the address book is also in a single wab file if I remember correctly. But the mail rules and the accounts are all in the registry... I'm pretty wet behind the ears with all this stuff, but I've read somewhere that you can actually intercept the program when it's writing to the registry and write it to a set location. So is there a way that I could make Outlook Express portable for my own personal use? I've been using it for a decade and I still think it's the easiest tool out there.

I think the threads in beta testing that are no longer in testing (such as gimp 2.6.0, etc.) or multiple threads for the same app should be deleted so it's easier to browse through the apps currently being tested.

I've just finished an upgrade to Drupal 6.5 and the Views module update to 2.0-RC4. While I don't normally do updates like this mid-day, there were some critical security vulnerabilities I wanted to address as soon as the upgrade was posted.

All pages should be working again for logged in users (you may need to reload to get the current). Guest users (not logged in) may see placeholders until the next cached update (every 15 minutes).

Please let me know if anything looks out of sorts.

Thanks,
John

EDIT: It seems it was the social bookmarks widget used that added tracking without notice. John explains better further below on the comments and his article is here.

My Flashblock has found a new... code snippet on some of this site's pages. It shows a swf file from bin.clearsring.com on the site's header.

Here is a screenie:

on the main page i saw this

Sep 28 Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3
Sep 28 Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.17
Sep 24 Mozilla Firefox 3.0.2

error much?

Not sure if it's a request but I'm a big fan of this site and I wonder if there is an actual Windows XP theme made after portableapps. Like the colors are Red and White, and the start button can be the symbol.

Any chance it could happen?

Is there any way to disable the splash screens? I understand that for some there's useful information that scrolls by, but for the most part it just seems like shameless marketing and I find it unnecessary.

Thanks!
