A lot of PAF files here at this site too?

I love the interface of this app you have here much better then the Pstart.

Hi,

First of all my compliments for this great site and collection of portable applications!

But, what actually is PortableApps.com?

A platform to promote the portable app concept?
A platform to promote the PortableApps Suite product?

I'm asking this because I recently made a application I publish portableapp compatible (PoiEdit, a shareware app to edit and download gps locations=points of interest). Is PortableApps.com a catalog of available portable apps, and could I get my application listed in it? Or do you suggest other sites for this?

Hi from Greece... Recently i have found a very good App Launcher from "Richskills" with name GoWithMe...
Its Small and its very powerfull. I like the Eject Button option and i thing that
should be a very good examle how this option should work in the next release of the PortableApps Launcher.
Has anyone else try it?

On the home page of this site, the screenshot of the PortableApps menu shows it has another button besdie the "x" button, I'd assume this is an eject button, my suite did not come with this button, but it would be very handy. Is this command not currently installed in the suite, or is it not availible at all? Can anyone help me out?

Hi all, this is my first post so bear with me. I have been looking for an alternative to Foxit Reader because of its license. I found a program that is very young, but seems to fit the bill. It is very light weight and very fast. I am in no way affiliated with the project, but just a happy user. It is SumatraPDF

Does portability generally also imply that the application doesn't leave any droppings of any sort on the host computer? I would think so, but maybe not.

Are there any reliable recommended programs to help test for this aspect of portability? I want to make sure I don't salt a guest host (e.g., a friend's computer) with any residues from portable apps I've used.

I can't find source code repository for PortableAppsMenu or StartPortableApps... where are they?

I had the problem of my PortableApps Suite not opening up on a macvhine with Windows 2000 loaded onto it, so I figured I'd download the Patch to fix it. After downloading, when i went to install it, it got to about 5% and the install manager asked weather I wanter to overwrite the liscence file with the one provided on the Patch, another accounter happens at 10%, weather I click auto-rename, overwrite, do not overwrite, etc, the installed shows and error and closes at 10%.

Could anyone help me out, I'm not sure what exactly the problem is. Thanks.

This package seems to have completely disappeared from the site. Did it have a secruity hole, or was there some other problem with it? I really liked both the package and the concept of this portable application.
