General Discussion

i tried editing the autorun.inf ...renaming with an icon from iconfactory.. i named it halflife.ico ...and it didn't pop up with the logo...so is it possible or not ?? :/

Is there a way to re-compile ALL visual C++ open source applications with an open source compiler to get rid of external dependencies from closed source DLL's.

I think this is legally the only real way to create real portable apps.

I was wondering if there is a PDF editor that will allow me to fill out PDF forms that are created without a fillable field?

Any suggestions?

I was just thinking that there are some open source apps out there that we still can't release because they have a dumb license. Then I thought well John has to get permission from Mozilla on their apps, so why can't we do that for other apps too?

can we please post a sticky about portable linux in the request apps thread because i am sick and tired of 10,000 people a second requesting portable linux!!!!!!!! and i think i speak for everyone when i say we really need to deal with this before it goes more out of hand than it already is. and if we cant post a sticky about portable linux than can we at least put it in the forum rules or something?!?

Hi,

The subject says everything, how can i delete the shortcuts from the launch pad, without deleting the app?

Hi, nice forum here. I'm setting up FFP with my regular local FF profile, referencing this info:

"Just copy the contents of that folder (except the cache directories) to the FirefoxPortable\Data\profile directory."

https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#local_profile

Would someone help a newb out, I'm looking at my local FF profile, what are the "cache directories" I am supposed to omit when transferring this profile to FF Portable?

The only thing that says cache in my profile is "extensions.cache". Is that the directory?

As anyone here for a while has noticed, we get a lot of repeat questions for some apps that can't be made portable on the terms this website operates. Many new people just find a Requests forum and don't check to see if the request has been made (and what the answer was). I propose a link in the Forum description to a page with the status of past app requests. The link could be as simple as "Check here for previous requests status FIRST." The list itself could be just a simple alphabetical list of previous requests with a brief description of the status, like:

ABC, see Beta Forum

You can find Opera Usb here OperaUsb
The reason why it is a good program is because there are a lot of things u can use, such as speed dial where you can put custom sites to be loaded up for faster use, up to 9 sites.
U can set the page to reload at a custom time, i have mine 4 every 1 in it reloads.(only 4 this page so i know when someone posts something)

Hope u find it usefull

Hi,

I bought a U3 USB pen, after a while I discovered PortableApps.com
I removed the U3 launch pad and installed PortableApps

Just a question: how to costumize the folder links in che Menu? By default there are Documents, Music, Video, ecc... I want to remove them and put my own.

Thanks!
