General Discussion

Hi, I'm using the suite (great idea - thanks!).

What should I do when the app prompts to upgrade. At the moment I'm not upgrading because I fear it will install the full version instead of the portable.

would it be possible to make a program that integrates with Filemon etc and reroutes the requests?

also check out my standard procedure:
Convert apps to portable

What is this whole ApponKey thing? The user is spamming.

now I know that its impossible to autorun off a usb
but can any programs do this?

@John please answer my post on the beta testing forums

On this site you can find PhotoFiltre 6.1.5 - a nice little photo editor with viewer.
It is free and works from USB (its size is less than 3MB). You only need to copy PhotoFiltre.exe and TranslationEN.plg (if you want English instead of French language) from the folder with installation.
It seems to me that PhotoFiltre 6.1.5 may be good portable image editor and viewer.

Hey, this isn't really pertinent to finding a decent spreadsheet, but I just found a port of the original VisiCalc spreadsheet program that was on really old IBMs. It has absolutely ZERO functionality, but it is cool to be able to see what was cutting edge back then. It runs in the DOS window in Windows. I am also happy to say that it is under 200 KB and runs great on a USB stick! Follow the directions on the site carefully.

Any reason why your apps wouldn't work under WindowsCE?

Since many of us don't know what is on the computers that we plug our drives into, it is good to know what kind of exploits are out there. Most of you have probably heard of the recent WMF vulnerability. Some of you may know that Microsoft only patched all OSs after Windows 2000. Even less of you know that the vulnerability was a backdoor created by Microsoft. Don't believe me? It was discovered by Steve Gibson, a known security pro. I have a story on it at my blog, with a link to the transcript of the "Security Now" podcast where Mr. Gibson broke the news.

On your mozdev pages you say you r moving in. Is this still true?

Sorry about announcing here Portable Firefox OS X and Portable Thunderbird OS X, but as Mac OS X old user, I've noticed that OS X apps were missing.
My volunteer effort is to fill this gap.
I hope that an OS X section could be open here and/or that we can collaborate to have all other OS X portable apps missing.

Thanks, G.
