Is it possible for Seamonkey 2.0 to be made portable?

Submitted by Trel on September 19, 2007 - 10:59am

Since from what I understand, it'll be based on the same backend as firefox, is it concievable that it could be made portable? Actually, with the alpha version as it is now, is it able to be made portable?

(I realize the seamonkey question has come up a number of times, but I also saw that most topic that asked about the Suiterunner the topic kinda died there before an answer was given.)

Offline Browsing - Saving web pages

Submitted by StephenQ on September 19, 2007 - 5:49am

Hey there,
Does anyone know how i can save a website as html + all images + flash etc into a folder to go along with it?
IE6 had an 'offline favorite' option to save websites a certain amount of links deep. I want to do this but not as a favorite, and with multiple links deep.
Any tools to do this seem to have their own cache for it, and i just want a standalone folder with the files in it.
Anyone have an idea of how to do this?

PA launched as a novell script

Submitted by phalkon30 on September 18, 2007 - 6:38pm

My school has a student drive that is unique to each student where we can securely place files. I installed portable apps on my student drive, installed the programs I wanted, and it works awesome.

For anybody out there that has access to a mapped drive and uses novell to login, here's a little trick I figured out. You can have novell launch portableapps upon login, so you don't have to browse around for it every time you login, and you don't have to carry around a flash drive.

Hello,
I'm interested to build a Portable Apps distribution for education, in a
nutshell it will include XAMPP, Moodle and a Wiki and some scripts to
backup and publish content. Future releases will include more apps for
different types of content (podcast, video, etc), the purpose of this
suite is to provide educators in Mexico with the possibility to generate
educational content for online courses without a always available
Internet connection.
I want this suite supported by the Portable Apps community but I need to

Splash screens

Submitted by m2 on September 17, 2007 - 1:17pm

The problem was raised before, but I'm in desperation and decided to make a solution myself.
Splash screens sometimes disappear too soon, sometimes too late because of fixed timeout.
Solution: Detect when the main application window shows up and hide the splash screen then. I think I can modify the NSIS plugin to make it work this way.

Can anyone recommend a secure flash drive?

Submitted by charlec on September 17, 2007 - 12:35pm

I'm looking for a hardware based secure flash drive. I'm currently looking at the Kingston Data Traveler Secure (Privacy Edition) 4Gb. Has anyone used one of these? Where do you recommend buying from in the UK - I usually use mymemory.co.uk but they don't sell the Privacy Edition.

Thanks in advance!
