Searching for portable apps within the PortableApps website is super simple: you just use the search field.

It would be great if the PortableApps Platform contained a similar search field to search for available apps. Perhaps it could even search for terms within the description of the apps and a list of tags.

If my sources are to be trusted, the next version of the PortableApps.com platform will be released this month. So which feature are you most excited to see in the next release?

Sorry for the possibly off-topic post, but I'm not sure who this question would go to.

Just purchased the 32GB PortableApps.com Carbide Drive. A little pricey, but looks terrific. I'll be in Mexico for a month, so it's pretty much what I needed.

I read that they can be personalized with a laser etching, but I didn't see anywhere that asked me for what I wanted it to be personalized with (I wanted my name).

Anyone order one of these?

How do I let the order taker know what I want the etching to be?

Hello,

I have for some time been wondering how I could verify the downloaded apps using the MD5 Hash keys, but have been unsuccessful in doing so.

I have downloaded and installed the Rapid CRC Unicode Portable app, but I am not able to figure it out. For example, and if Rapid CRC Unicode is the right app for doing this, if it's the install file of a downloaded app I should check or if it is all the files after installation....

At my school we have laptops but all .exe files are blocked but we can run .jar files such as minecraft.jar is there anyway to run portableapps.exe as a .jar (executable jar file)

We're now starting to see more apps which are dropping support for Windows XP. I'm wondering how the community would like to handle this. We'd like to maintain a list of last-working versions for users to be able to obtain. We'll include a caveat about bugs, security issues, and it being unsupported, of course.

I am using Foxit portable as my default PDF program. Though I have set it to open pdf's in the browser (IE) it will not. Also, if I open a pdf stored on my computer, and I then go to a website and try to view a pdf in the browser (say a form 1040) I get the message that another instance of Foxit is running and to please shut it down.

Can anyone help?

Have a very frustrating problem that seems to be a conflict between running both Desktop Chrome and Portable Chrome at the same time. I get the message "Chrome detected that some of your browser settings were corrupted by another program and reset them to their original defaults" and had to resync everything. This wouldn't be that big of a problem if it weren't for:

1. I have a bunch of open tabs on Chrome Portable that I keep losing (Xmarks doesn't backup because Xmarks is signed out and even though the extension is synced back after Portable Chrome is wiped, its settings are lost).

is there an app here that can hack the password of wifi of your neighborhood?
