Hi,

I've just got the portable apps suite lite edition and its awesome, just one problem though.

The Start menu comes up, and its all out of proportion, the lines that are meant to be outlines cut through the names of the apps in the menu and it all looks real messy. Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

As several people have informed me, there is an issue of possible bias at Wikipedia with respect to a couple of users in their treatment of PortableApps.com. Things like systematically removing our mentions from some of the apps we package and enhance with author encouragement, highlighting a bug in the introduction, making uncited inaccurate statements in criticisms, etc. One user in particular that people had mentioned I have contacted via their talk page. We'll see what the response is.

I'm posting a link to my message here:

I Started making Enigma Portable when i came across this post https://portableapps.com/node/8694#comment-46861
I did not know Marko worked on it already
What Ever happened to it Was it abandon?

Was The PortableApps.com Web Design Made From GIMP? (correct me if im wrong :P)

portable aps are fun but:
1)there is no password manager, so these still are stored on a machine or paper which must be less secure,
2)the aps seem to be operation system dependent,
3)no form of tex such as miktex,

I was reading through my usual blogs today, and noticed that PortableApps Portable Firefox 3 was mentioned on the Google Blogs as a great new way to read blogs via Google Reader.

Nicely done! PortableApps keeps getting more and more press.

It's nice having the Portable Apps Suite support different flash sizes for the suite, but the Suites are aimed at the standard of a few years back.

For example, when we buy a flash drive nowadays it's virtually impossible to find a 256MB drive and even 512MB's are getting more rare. While I not suggest to drop the smaller suite sizes for people having an old drive or ipod with only 512MB, I would suggest that the suite would aim to support modern sizes a bit more.

does drupal not have any way to set up private messages?

Steve said "used to have psuedo private messages, but they spoofed the sender field of an email and so usually got caught by spam filters!"

that's just a problem when sending emails though. what about messages that you can only see when logged into the forums? It would be so great if we had that!

With all of the new apps being released, some may call this the Golden Age of PortableApps. However, with this rush to release Apps, careless errors are being made. References to Base applications, Paths not updating as you change PC's, Settings being left on host PC, and other mistakes. To fix this, I think a list of requirements to be checked one by one is necessary. I will add and change this list as needed.

-No traces of app is left on host PC
-No remains of base application are remaining
-Application works when the drive letter changes
-App has been compressed

I thought I'd ask before I post this in the request forum, but is LCleaner Open Source? I know it's freeware but idk about Open Source. I'm not exactly sure how to find out either.

You can find more info on this app at it's homepage:
