General Discussion

i do alot of internaitonal traveling and have always been frustrated with having to change computer all the time at internet cafes and.. i searched to portable desktops and tried a few webOS.. nothing struck my fancy. webOS is cool but i need to be able to access my info offline as well.. there are pleanty of portable apps out there (as evidenced by this sit,) but i want to be able to isolate my desktop from the host machine not simply start up another program.. and to top off the challenge; i want cross-platform comatibility.

Hey,

Whenever I insert my HDD in the USB, the autoplay menu does not show the portable apps in the list. Pls. can someone tell me how I can get it to appear in the autoplay menu.

Thanks.

I've downloaded the portableApps 1.5.2 three times this morning, and each time they are failing to run because:

"NSIS Error
Installer integrity check has failed"

I've hit up different mirrors on sourceforge, so to me, it seems like they are all broken.

In preparation for a faster release cycle, I'd like all developers to have a homepage and news story-ready description and feature list included with their main posts for all development tests and pre-releases. If you have any additional notes that should be added to the page or release story, those should be noted as well. We're going to be going through the list of apps more thoroughly and many apps with just minor omissions (missing a help file, some appinfo errors, etc) will be cleaned up and released directly rather than taking additional time.

It appears that ICQ is reporting that the latest version of Pidgin is out of date....Anyone else notice this?

The regular installation og the current Pidgin does not have this problem.

thanks

If I wanted to make my PortableApp software really secure which would be the best 8GB flash drive to use? I know most of you may say AES hardware encrypted which I think is fine too, but what I'm looking for is the name of the product you're using to encrypt yours, and please could you tell me why you think it is so good compared to others?
I use "TrueCrypt for all my PC based stuff, however I wouldn't choose to use it for a flash drive.

Many thanks.

Yes. We've heard this so many times and it might soon make our heads explode. I'm here to leave one big note on it that will hopefully tell everyone once and for all? (Nah.. that cannnot happen)

Alright, so we have to start dealing with Windows 7 which seems pretty buggy in terms of portable apps. Here are the known issues:

Hello,

New member on this forum, I would like to ask you all a question :

Using PortableApps (PA) on my USB key, I'd tried to use Universal Extractor (UE) to transform an aplication into portable one. But the exit format given by UE seems not to match with this one accepted by PA (that accept only *.paf.exe!)

Thanks for help

Keen to read your answer (sorry for my english, but you know French speaker!!!) Wink
