I know typefaster is portable but what about the other's mentioned in the post.
thanks

I know it has been covered various times but nothing concrete happened. So I'll sum it up...

How many developers are currently working on the Portable Apps (1.5/2.0) menu? Are they the developers of all known previous Mod's?

When can we expect the 1.5 Beta and the updated descriptions? This month? 3 months? 6 months?

What is the reason for the delay? Is the new format description not ready? Is there no 1.5 Alpha?

Can we please skip v1.1 and move on to 1.5/2.0?

I use Stopzilla(Please, don't get insulting with comments like no one uses it) and it tells me Media-Codec.D was detected when I ran the most recent paf version of Keepass.

I set StopZilla to allow it. What infotrmation can I send to the StopZilla folks to have Media-Codec.D allowed by default?

Thanks

"The best things on your USB key are free. The open-source PortableApps Suite is a free 89MB download that installs Firefox, the Thunderbird e-mail client, the Gaim instant messenger, the Sunbird calendar app, and the OpenOffice.org office suite—basically all you need to get work done on the road. If you are using a smaller USB key, a 30MB "Lite" version uses the more compact AbiWord word processor instead of the full OpenOffice.org.

To make:
Start Command Prompt. (Start->Run->cmd)
type in cd\(general path to your file) e.g like "cd\documents and settings\user\desktop"
just where it is at, not its exact location.

here is what u type if it is just in the C:\ location
Type "attrib" (filename or folder with complete path) +s +h
the +s stands 4 system file
the +h stands for hidden

To undo what u did do the exact opposite

To remove: type "attrib" c:\(file u chose) -s -h

for other locations besides C:\

Type "cd\(general path to your file)" then do as follows

Just use 7-zip to extract it. hope this helps someone.

Hello,

thanks to PortableApps.com, in the last year I've moved my digital life from a couple of computers to a single pen drive.

Unfortunately, I'm still struggling to find a good portable solution for my contacts.

I've been using Outlook for many years and in the last months I've moved ToDo(s) and Calendars to a portable application.

But I cannot find an application that can import my contacts.

I've read this thread
https://portableapps.com/node/4240
where Thunderbird is suggested.

Hi,

Whenever there's a new portable release of an application it is announced.
In the announcement there's a section called "New In This Release" that lists the changes from last release. Problem is it refers only to the "portability layer" of the app, not to the original app. Regarding the original app it only states "Updated to the latest version of..." or "Updated to version x.x.x of y".

I suggest to add a link to the "what's new" or "change log" of the original app.
