General Discussion

Hi all,

There seems to be a strange similarity between a possible study for the windows 7 start menu and the PortableAppsMenu.

I just found a blog

in which the author states:

Hi All,

I am looking for a launcher that does not attempt to write to my usb drive on exit. I prefer to just remove the drive and sometimes forget to close the launcher software. If I try to then close the application, I get an error because the path is now invalid.

I've tried all the top launchers and the only one that does not do this is PortableApps 1.0 which I do not like for the lack of customizable features. Perhaps one app has a setting that I may have missed that prevents the launcher from writing to disk EVERY TIME it closes?

Hi,

I wanted to add a comment to this topic:

Dia - A program for drawing structured diagrams
https://portableapps.com/node/1347

...but there was no Reply link, so the topic has probably been closed.

However, the modification technique the guy suggested in the topic had an error, and I wanted to correct it in case anyone else (like me!) is trying to find out how to run Dia portably.

Here's my post (below), in case you can add it there.

Thanks, Ander

I installed portable apps onto a portable hard drive with XP. At work it is a network with a Windows NT Operating Sytem and so it won't open at work. Is there anything I can do to change the settings to open it on NT.

Thanks

You know where to discuss thinstall support topics? I thought it`s a good idea to ask here. Or in this forum, is it somewhere allowed/good place?

No I'm not asking for a tool... I just found one. I thought I'd share it because I recall a bunch of you guys have been looking for something like this, so here it is. My apologies if this has been posted 7013 times before.

I haven't tried it yet but it sounds promising. FYI I found it via http://www.portablefreeware.com/

Hi,

I'm looking for a very simple, lightweight, portable Timer / Reminder - Tool.
It should be possible to set

1. a time, when it has to remind me.
2. a timer, to remind me after 45min.
3. the text for the message-window, which should appear when the time has come.

That's all. Of course it would be great to have other options, like shutdown windows etc, but that's not important, because i have an other tool for that.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I have recently discovered this Portable Menus,Wow they look great.

But i'm a bit confused
I like to ask, what are the best portable menus?

I tested the orginal PAM beta look great but i need one that have more features.

Sorry to be such a bore...
Recent apps show the word 'Free' on the download button. I don't think the 'Download now' should be followed by the word 'Free'.

Any updates on the apps that we've been developing?

I've seen a few sporadic remarks that maybe one of Patrick's apps is coming, and that Simeon's Assault Cube is coming, and an extremely general "if i saw your app in a weekly update, it's coming" but for the most part, NONE of the current developers have gotten any sort of comment on their apps specifically, whether it be in the app topic itself, or in your weekly updates where we tell you our apps are ready for go-live.
