What comes in the Standard Suite 89.5 M

Submitted by Phil McCrevice on April 1, 2008 - 5:13pm

Can you tell me what exactly comes with the Standard Suite. Does this include all applications that Portable apps has or are some not included yet. I noticed that there were several programs ie. PeaZip, Texas holdem and some others too that had dates after the FEB update of the suite. Does the new standard include those, or do we need to download them separately.

changing .paf a bit to get an portableapps updater?

Submitted by jps on March 31, 2008 - 9:12am

I suggest to change the .paf format a bit. Don`t worry there will be 100 % backward compatibly.

All my portableapps are on one folder on my hd, other people will also do this in a similar way.

Let`s add a new file or in an existing file a new entry. But the version info in a standardized way into it.

From there it`s easy to make an error resident updater. The updater downloades the version info from a special page from portableapps.com / sf.net or any other good hosting (signed message in usenet if you worry about traffic).

Donating money

Submitted by gsk3rd on March 30, 2008 - 7:34pm

Hello all. Well I have been lurking around now for about a month downloading and using the software and i have to say that I am super excited about this portable movement. Since installing the PA software I have created a few backgrounds for my menu and love that everything is open source. If I where to donate money to PA, where would it go to? Are there any benefits to donating money. Would I have an super cool status?

ps. I am on a daily watch for PAM 1.5 alpha.

The mysterious "User 1"

Submitted by BrianAll on March 29, 2008 - 7:33pm

So here I am surfing the portableapps forums, and lo and behold I end up on John's user page. We all know who has the most seniority here, and John's been a forum member for 2 years, 17 weeks, as of today.
But look up in the address bar and, strangely, it says user/2. Hmmmm... I replace "2" with "1", and here I have User 1: administrator!!!! I wonder who that could be... Wink
Ha Ha, joke's over. Biggrin I think we all know who it is, but how about this:

The user page for "administrator" says this:

38 years 13 weeks

Suggestion

Submitted by javier10l on March 29, 2008 - 11:16am

Direct Access to files within the USB

More than a program is a suggestion (sorry if this is not where it should be), if one could take into account the functionality of the 'Remora USB Quick Launch' (http://www.richskills.com/products/5/freeversion. asp), with which we can show as configuring direct access Word files (.doc), Excel (.xls). Only by putting the vast extension (*.pdf, *.doc, *.exe, *.ppt) and automatically looking inside your USB and our direct access within a folder whose name is the original folder that contains this file.
Example:
The USB: D:\Jobs\tesis.pdf
