General Discussion

I was wondering if there is a PDF editor that will allow me to fill out PDF forms that are created without a fillable field?

Any suggestions?

I was just thinking that there are some open source apps out there that we still can't release because they have a dumb license. Then I thought well John has to get permission from Mozilla on their apps, so why can't we do that for other apps too?

can we please post a sticky about portable linux in the request apps thread because i am sick and tired of 10,000 people a second requesting portable linux!!!!!!!! and i think i speak for everyone when i say we really need to deal with this before it goes more out of hand than it already is. and if we cant post a sticky about portable linux than can we at least put it in the forum rules or something?!?

Hi,

The subject says everything, how can i delete the shortcuts from the launch pad, without deleting the app?

Hi, nice forum here. I'm setting up FFP with my regular local FF profile, referencing this info:

"Just copy the contents of that folder (except the cache directories) to the FirefoxPortable\Data\profile directory."

https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#local_profile

Would someone help a newb out, I'm looking at my local FF profile, what are the "cache directories" I am supposed to omit when transferring this profile to FF Portable?

The only thing that says cache in my profile is "extensions.cache". Is that the directory?

As anyone here for a while has noticed, we get a lot of repeat questions for some apps that can't be made portable on the terms this website operates. Many new people just find a Requests forum and don't check to see if the request has been made (and what the answer was). I propose a link in the Forum description to a page with the status of past app requests. The link could be as simple as "Check here for previous requests status FIRST." The list itself could be just a simple alphabetical list of previous requests with a brief description of the status, like:

ABC, see Beta Forum

You can find Opera Usb here OperaUsb
The reason why it is a good program is because there are a lot of things u can use, such as speed dial where you can put custom sites to be loaded up for faster use, up to 9 sites.
U can set the page to reload at a custom time, i have mine 4 every 1 in it reloads.(only 4 this page so i know when someone posts something)

Hope u find it usefull

Hi,

I bought a U3 USB pen, after a while I discovered PortableApps.com
I removed the U3 launch pad and installed PortableApps

Just a question: how to costumize the folder links in che Menu? By default there are Documents, Music, Video, ecc... I want to remove them and put my own.

Thanks!

To make it look more professional, and for me just more normal as I'm not a big fan of screennames/usernames/weird e-mails, etc, we're asking if you mind us using your real name.

This applies to anyone who is contributing to the site in some public way, mainly developers, translators, etc. If you don't mind us using your real name for pages on this site, please let us know, and also post your real name. Even if you haven't released any apps, or done any translations, etc yet, let us know for future reference.

THIS UPDATE IS OUTDATED. THE CURRENT ONE IS HERE:

Welcome all to another PortableApps.com Update. It's late in the week again (sorry about that), so it's a mix of summary and what's coming. And I ran out of punch and pie. But there's a drinking fountain in the back somewhere. And a guy with a water gun filled with seltzer for some reason. Anyway, here we go...
