General Discussion

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just not set up for it.

When I try to run, say, GIMP_Portable_2.2.17.paf.exe and put in .\GIMPPortable for the install path it's telling me that that is an invalid path. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to use relative paths for the installers? I know I'd prefer it that way.

First off, i've been lurking around here for a while, and i gottasay i love the portableapps suite(although it has made me get 2 bigger thumb drives now :))

anyway, i thought i'd give a skin of my own a shot and the first results can be found

I use alot of the portables on a thumbdrive but don't like to keep up when one updates. Is it possible to get on mailing lists for when products update?

Can Advanced WindowsCare Personal be installed into its own folder in the PortableApps directory on my USB drive and be made portable this way?

Okay...

No ASCII art. That should not be a problem...

BUT ... I once requested for an Update Forum Topic. (thanks for the soon reply Ryan or was it Rob...dont remember...)

I think I lead to some misunderstanding. Sorry maybe i do again. The thing is actually simple.

IF there is a new version of a program THEN some people test it. (registry, etc.) and tell the rest of the people if a NEW version of the LAUNCHER is needed or not!

Obviously, you probably don't want to put your thumb drive in a computer that is very likely to be compromised, nor do you want to be accessing anything too sensitive unless you are pretty sure about the computer.

So odd question here, am I missing something or is there not a way to change the sort order in the forums, it would be really nice (especially in longer topics) to be able to sort purely by date rather than in the reply tree format, a post was added 1.x hours ago, but try finding it?

I planned to make a mod of Convey Portable that integrates the features of C.A.F.E., S.U.C.R.E. and M.P.Cube, unfortunately, the last 3 apps i mentioned are in French, I only know English and a little bit of German, and free online translators = crap.

CAFE allows users to set temporary file associations so that files on your USB device can be opened by apps on your USB. SUCRE simulates the built in "Run" command for Windows, and M.P.Cube creates a portable playlist by converting absolute paths from a .m3u file to relative paths.

Hello,

I am looking for a portable application that would entirely password lock my USB key so nobody could see the files without password. I need the application to be installed only on the USB key. It is enough if it would create a virtual disc on my USB. Can you help?

Thanks for help

Hi to everybody,

I experienced a problem similar to the one described in this post:

https://portableapps.com/node/3994

[Moderator RM: Either put in a URL by it's self or specify a location with your link with href="http://example.com"]

But for some unknown reason I cannot reply directly to it.

I downloaded Portable Apps Base Edition and I wanted to use it to restore my three weeks old backup (I have lost my thmbdrive :-().

I have tried the operation on two different machines with the same results: restore stopped to OpenOfficePortable folder.
