General Discussion

I am using MplayerUI as a portable media player (less CPU intensive then VLC). My problem: In the launcher both MPUI.exe and mplayer.exe are displayed and I need only one. How can I bypass PA's automatic filling of the menu with executables? I was thinking of links/bats. Any ideas?

Similarly I get 4 exe's from Pain.net portable (found it on some french site) and Totalcommander (which I've noticed keeps only it's directory shortcuts on the machine, the rest works just fine).

I've just enabled forum avatars to test them out. They're small 16x16 icons (similar to those that appear on Digg-style sites in comments) and limited to 2K to keep bandwidth down (as long as you optimize when saving from any image program, it'll be fine). You can upload your own by going to your My Account page. They'll appear within any forum posts you make and any comments.

Oh, and you made need to reload a page to get the new CSS file that makes them show up properly.

Please give it a try and post any thoughts.

John

Can I use all my portable applications from a CD instead of a USB Flash Drive and by all I mean all the applications listed on the applications section on portableapps website, the only two portable apps that I wont be using is XAMPP and Mac-on-Stick, as for the rest I want to use it on a CD instead of a Pen Drive and one more thing how would it be different from PortableApps on a Pen Drive since I would be using a CD-R and it will only write once so I wont be able to save documents and stuff?

Hi, how can i install the apps on my mobile device?
the installer dialog wants a drive letter but my mobile device has no drive letter because its using active sync crap.

are there any repositories to get the apps as cab files directly?

regards

Was just wondering how to make any edition of PortableApps bootable on a cd/dvd for recovery and backup purposes outside Windows, much like the UBCD?

Thanks

How do you make exe programs for FREE so I can make my own.

I just spent about an hour working on a code and layout workaround that lets me add the search box back into the theme site-wide, including on pages that are manually cached and served up as straight HTML (which is what was broken in the Drupal 5 upgrade). It'll take 15 minutes or so to get back into the manually cached pages.

Help every one here is all mean and horrble to me!!!

Every time I ask a Qustion they all say horrble things about me!

And Ryan & John are one of the worst f all!

Please tell them off and help me please!!!

I'm unsure if this is suggested before but what about an integral Portable Apps 'registry' file. Something that is usually put in windows registry will be put in PA-Registry file (only when its important for other apps).

For example, a portable python saves in PA-Reg.ini its location so PortableBlender can find and use it as well as other apps that might require Python installed.

Would this be something usefull for SOME applications so they can be aware of eachother a bit? Maybe not so extensive that all apps save all their settings in the PA-Registry to avoid clutter.

The more I think about portable applications, the more I like the idea. I'm not so thrilled about the portability aspect as the ease with one can backup and restore.
