General Discussion

I just joined Portable apps yesterday and I thought I got to a page that listed thousands of apps. For instance if I click on the games link I get to a page that has around 10 games on it. But I thought that I got to a page yesterday that had several thousand games on it. I can't seem to get to that page again. How do I get there.

After numerous failed attempts to download the full application Suite I am wondering why there is not an official p2p/torrent release like OpenOffice.org has. I find that to be the fastest and most reliable way to download. It not just for pirates

Anyone here run FreeOTFE off their flash drive? How does it compare to TC?

It says on the site:

"Highly portable - Not only does FreeOTFE offer "portable mode", eliminating the need for it to be installed before use, it also offers FreeOTFE Explorer - a system which allows FreeOTFE volumes to be accessed not only without installing any software, but also on PCs where no administrator rights are available. This makes it ideal for use (for example) with USB flash drives, and when visiting Internet Cafés (AKA Cybercafés), where PCs are available for use, but only as a "standard" user.

Why did the firefox logo get so bad from 3.0 to 3.5? I personally think that the new logo looks too cartoony. I looked at my FFP files to try and find out which icon it was but I couldn't find it. Does any one know what it is?

I have looked over the last few months at a range of email programs - open source, freeware and commercial - some portable - and have come to a few conclusions. I haven't been exhaustive with links to each app, but they can all be found with a few simple Google (or your own favorite search engine) clicks.

I just recently installed PortableApps on a 4 GB flash drive. It's a very handy tool, but it's just slightly annoying to have to open PortableApps manually. Is there a way to make it start-up automatically when I put the flash drive in a computer?

Not a request, I swear!

Anybody seen this? The Staples ad this weekend has it. $25 if you buy a computer, $50 otherwise, comes on a flash drive that says exactly that on it (topic title). Looks generic, but nicer than your average SanDisk Cruzer.

I was just flipping through that, and the Best Buy ad looking at flash drives and portable hard drives wondering when I was going to see a flash drive preloaded with PortableApps stuff, which I know is a ways off, when I saw this.

what is the recommended way to remove an app?

Can someone fix the forumns search functionality so that it gives the option of listing all posts in reverse order of being posted? i.e. So the most recent posts appear first?

Presumably it displays them by what it thinks is the most relevant - but something like google has where you can switch to the most recent would be more useful about 50% of the time. (that's why google has this option)

atm, if you search for something like "server", the first few posts are from 2007-08, which isn't much use if you're looking for recent posts on server software!
