General Discussion

I was just playing around with my portableapps.com standard installation, when I had decided to see if i could put some of my regular full desktop apps (IE Collection, mozilla firefox collection, as well as the emulator known as MESS, as well as ubuntu windows installer known as Wubi.)on the usb drive and make them work from portableapps.com. so i made folders with the titles of the apps original names, and put the word portable at the end of there name WITHOUT SPACES.

I was wondering what the latest platform is. i cant seem to se anything except a beter version of the new 2.0 platform that came out in july this year. Maybe I have missed something. If so i am sorry for an extra post. can you link me to things so i can be kept up to date.

I like the idea of automatic updates. atm the auto updater is separate from the platform i have and has a different directory structure than the platform so i have to have 2 entries. one in the updater and one in the platform. takes up some extra space on the flashdrive. hence cant have as much storage there.

I've spent a considerable amount of time searching the forums for a solution to this, so if this has been answered already, please forgive me.

Hello there guys

This is my first post do be so harsh on me ^^

Im basically trying to convert portable a huge game of 6gb (It is command and conquer red alert 3, no copy, is original). Im using portable creator the latest version 0.9.7.2 (I think). All the steps work just fine until i got to the last one when supposedly is gathering all the dlls. After like 2 hours using 60% of my cpu gives me this error "Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded."

The apps runs but i dont see any new dlls...

Please can anyone help ^^?

Hello everybody. Recently I had created a primative themeing engine and along with it a website to go along with my program's name: PortableAppsThemes. However, with the release of PAM 2.0 on the rise, the use of my themeing engine has died. The website is still active though, so it's now open for everybody to share thier themes. Creating a themes is incredibly easy with the PAM Theme Builder, which is still in beta like most other ingenious programs and may never come out of Beta, i fear, also like other ingenious programs.

I'm using Portable Apps and respectively my USB stick on a daily basis. Slowly but surely though I am concerned about my data protection. Even though my passwords are secured with KeePass I am a little bit worried about my private files.

Anyone know of a preferably open source tool, similar to ScreenMarker that allows you to draw/annotate on your Windows desktop?

I know PicPick has one but I probably don't need all the other functionality that comes with it, so it's little excessive for my requirements (and PicPick isn't open source). Plus, as I understand it, it's unlikely to become a PortableApps candidate since development of PicPickPortable is being dropped.

As it seems I missed FileZilla when it did, I'm going to make a quick forum post of apps that have dropped Windows 2000 support (or are newer and never had it) for reference and to ensure that I haven't missed updating any. As of today (2010-11-23), the following apps do not support Windows 2000:

- Dia
- Google Chrome
- FileZilla
- Foxit Reader
- GIMP
- Inkscape
- Songbird
- SpyDLLRemover

Please let me know if I've missed any others.

Hello!

When you do an update of an app which contains optional additional localizations (like Pidgin), the updater will install it full, even if you have chosen "only english" on previous installation.

I would suggest too that there was a option to choose which localizations to be installed, because sometimes is a waste of space install multiple languages that will never use.
