General Discussion

Noticed this evening that the Active Topics said that I'd posted yesterday to a 2 post thread
"Want a simple-ish Notes App with usable functionality ..."

I was the last to post to the thread on 2014 May 23 and it hasn't see any activity since then.

I've noticed old threads popping up before but never really looked until it was (apparently) me.

Not a big deal but when a number of them happen at once it makes the Active Topics list messy.

I personally use linux mostly, and over the past year or so I've started to collect Linux apps that run off my flash drive, but there was a problem: How can I organize my apps? I finally decided to just make my own and make it use the PortableApps format. If you would like to try it out, or help me out, head over to the Github page or download the latest release.

Features:

Hello!

Use KeePass on a local installation and for some time now the programs on the platform that use passwords is not working autofill automatic KeePass.
Already did a restore installed programs again and still not working. An interesting detail is that if I remove say the “Firefox” of folder “PortableApps” and put in the same device, it works! Ah! Autofill automatic KeePass works with the same programs in local installation.

I know, flash back to 2007 or so.

Just bringing this up as it seems to be affecting me, but is there a particular file format for the usb to run portable apps best?

I need to carry some sensitive data around with me, as well as being able to use portable apps. I cant predict what computer/OS I will be using the drive on so needs to be something that uses encryption/password protection and will work on any computer. Ive found the following:

Sandisk extreme cz80: https://www.amazon.ca/SanDisk-Extreme-Flash-Drive-s-SDCZ80-016G-GAM46/dp...

I would like to raise a point for discussion.
It started on a different thread but it belongs here.

The current policy (Or at least the way I understand it) of PortableApps is to support applications if and only if they have 32 Bit version.

Lately, as in any progress, there are some great applications which are, to begin with, 64 Bit only.

i know this is a long shot,but ive comne across keepass for passwords etc,and ive learnt that the small script keeform will help import passwords etc when needed,but of course they dont do it anymore,and i cant find it anywhere,can anybody point me in right direction, thank you in advance

As of Firefox 48, extensions must be signed to be able to be used with Firefox stable and beta. Extension developers can use Firefox Developer Edition to continue developing and testing extensions. There is, however, some desire to test on the current stable before releasing to be sure all is well. Unfortunately, Firefox provides no way to disable the signature requirement to test your extensions.

Just a heads up that FossHub was hacked. Reports are coming in that downloads of ClassicShell and Audacity were affected (possibly more). Both ClassicShell and Audacity use FossHub as their official download site, so if you went to Audacity's site and selected to download the local version of Audacity, you might be affected. The malware in question wipes your PC's master boot record rendering the PC unbootable once you reboot.

Hi Mr. Gord Caswell,
I want to run a portable Android fie manager app on a usb hard drive e.g.ES File Explorer File Manager by ES Global in Google Play Store.
In your reply to J dub dated March 29, 2013 under the Topic : "USB hosting with portable apps on android", you advised J dub that he could run the apps off his phone when he used his phone as a usb drive.
