General Discussion

I'm from a company interested in including portable 7zip in our IT training material. Our training material is distributed as printed books and one or more DVDs containing a compressed VMware image. I'd like to be able to include 7zip on the first disk to decompress the VMware image.

Are there any licensing considerations here? We're not interested in modifying the application in any way, merely saving the end-user a download.

Thanks!!!!!

Anyone who uses the Launcher and Installer to create their own versions or adaptions finds himself besides the usual adaption, entering similar information several times.

For example, both Launcher and Installer need AppName, PortableName, ExecutableName etc.

Suggestion:

Having an AppInfo.nsh that is included in both the Launcher and Setup that contains the AppName, AppVersion and AppShortName etc. Then this is being included into the launcher and setup, using one file. Less work to update or change and less chance of typos

I've been busy the past week and I'd just like to note what has happened and make a few generic comments. If I've missed anything you think I should know, let me know here.

Translation Team
I've noticed we now have an official beta testing team. As Patrick would say (while driving up in pimped out mini-van), w00t w00t!
Along these lines, I think we need an official translation team. (Hold your thoughts until I finish)

here is an interesting website that u can join for free and get 5gigs of storage and u can host files on there. i thought it might be interesting for people who need a website to host their beta apps. here it is http://www.esnips.com/ hope this helps anyone

Does anyone know if that is possible? Any links in emails that I read in PortableThunderbird I want to open into PortableFirefox, instead of the system default browser.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Is there an official portable apps template or do u have to "Edit" exsisting scripts? Cause it would be easier if there was a basic script to use, cause i have been using the Portable App template 2.5 in an attempt to make a portable app, but there are some parts of it that i dont get.

I was wondering if anyone has any of those tiny laptops that run on winxp, like QDO and thier ilk. Has anyone used the portable apps on them? I would presume that they work the same as it would on normal PCs. Screen size would seem to be my only concern.

It seems like this page is a little out of date: https://portableapps.com/apps/compatibility

It does not have a lot of the newer released Portable Apps. Particularly I'm interested in Wine/Linux compatibility.

Are there plans to update this page? Does anyone else have any information on newer Portable Apps' compatibility with Wine/Linux?

Thanks.

has anyone tried the "rohos mini drive" encryption software? i did see it come up at another posting, but it was just a mention--i am looking to see if someone has 'real' experience using it...

on the typing app on this post?
