General Discussion

Hi all,

First let me say - love portable apps - big time.

TB lost all my settings and emails yesterday, although lightning was intact. Got lost in the profile process - moved on to format/restore. Running PA Restore, no files get copied - weird. I've seldom had success with the PA restore program.

** Just got it restored to 2-3-08 sweet. Only way I got it to work was to extract files from backup and copy to thumb drive. **

I'm not quite sure where to post this so I will try here first.

I am basically trying to find out whether or not you can add stand-alone programs like .exe programs that can be used soely on a USB that are not available on PortableApps.com and have the Portable Apps Menu display it?

For example...

Does Anyone Have The Email Address Of The Creator Of This App, So I Can Ask If I Can Give My Portable Version Out?

Really Want Everyone To Try It Out. TY

Greetings all! Welcome to another summary of what's going on in the world of PortableApps.com. Please help yourself to punch and pie in the back of the room.

Updating Current Portable Apps (In Progress)

I found this program which will take a dvd and shrink it to fit on a writable dvd for backup purposes. I was looking at the website (http://www.dvdshrink.org/what_en.php) and was able to determine that it is freeware, but it is not open source. I think this is a great program, but was wondering if there were any portable, open source alternatives?

A new version of Truecrypt has been released with some pretty significant changes:

Is there some way to contact people from the forums directly? If not, can this be set up? I think this is a better way to work together with other developers, etc.

Ok Im Trying To Create A Personal And Portable Version Of Virtual Dimention.

I Created The Installer App To Make It Portable And There Is A Problem With The Adding This Registry Key To The Regedit........ :|

the reg file is called "registry.reg" as said in the template and stored in the data section.
the laucher wont apply the reg key into regedit and so it looks like its not portable.

What Code Do I Put Into The NSI File And Where In The File Do I Put It? (What Line)? So That It Will Apply The Reg File.

Just as the title says. Is it a forgotten project?

Many people have suggested solutions of combining PortableApps and TrueCrypt. I also have one at http://webandlife.blogspot.com/2007/11/build-secured-and-portable-pim.html

Such solution has all features of U3 in respect of security and GUI. However, it required a few more mouse clicks and keyboarding.
1. When inserting the USB, the VBScript will ask for a drive letter to mount the TrueCrypt container.
2. Before gracefully unplug the USB drive, I need to first close Portable Apps Menu and other portable applications, then unmount the container.
3. Two tray icons are used.
