Any help will be appreciated.

Question about posting to old forum topics

Submitted by millarrp on February 29, 2008 - 10:23pm

I just wanted to get a little bit of clarification on this before I went ahead and did this.

Since I've made the plunge to Vista, I've been going back and testing some of the older apps I've liked (TunnelVision Portable and WinBoard Portable to name a few).

I would like to add the results of the tests to the original post but at the same time I don't want to start bumping older topics either.

Thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.

Hi all,

I would like what your favorite RSS feeds are.

Recently I read some of you talk about one "on software", seemed cool, but I lost it.

Please share your findings on this media I am not too familiar with (except for the Portable Apps feed Smile )

New update here:
https://portableapps.com/node/11960

Howdy all and welcome to another exciting PortableApps.com Update. I know this is falling a little late in the week, so it's really more of a week summary rather than a what's coming, but at least it's here. And they ran out of punch and pie at the store, so there's cookies and Fresca in the back today.

I was working on a way to COPY and REMOVE folders in Application Data when I accidentally removed ALL sub folders Application Data while I thought I removed only Application Data\testfolder.

Even my quick launch bar is now gone Sad

Some of NSIS are very sketchy and googling didn't help either. Well I found a 'solution' but that wiped my whole Application Data folder clean. I have no idea how to restore it or what will happen if I reboot...

association with rar/zip files

Submitted by gugudl on February 28, 2008 - 12:40pm

Is there anyway to make portableapps open rar/zip files?
in my pen drive is better to keep the files compressed instead .exe. because that way, i can safe some space.Files .exe are bigger than .zip/.rar.So would better i add files .rar/.zip in the main menu but as far i know i can't do that due the file association with .exe or .paf.exe.
any idea?

and sorry for my bad english.

thanks all
