General Discussion

I wanted to begin a discussion on the actual setup of themes in PortableApps.com Theme Format which is what we'll be using for 2.0 and up. I did a quick example theme that you can download to play with. Get it here:

Is there a way to add a shortcut to the PortableApps start page to a program that is not in portable format, but is on the USB Drive? I am using Dream Mail and it is on my USB drive, but it is a pain to have to "Explore" the drive to open my email program instead of being able to at least open it from PortableApps.

I noticed the new header. It looks cool. It also looks good on IE7. I don't think the previous header looked good in IE. (I could be wrong though.)

I hope this is the proper forum to post this in. Apologies in advance if not!

I've seen an app on a bootable DVD quite a while ago that lets you select from multiple ISOs on the dvd to boot from. I can't for the life of me remember what the DVD was though.

I'd like to be able to do the same thing. Put several .iso files on a bootable usb drive and have a little menu at boot time to pick which iso to boot from. Like a rescue cd, my windows install disc, etc etc..

sometime microsoft zune software on portable?

how can i change the graphic when a app is loading?
i changed the jpg-file in the folder "/other/source" but nothing happens.

is the graphic implemented in any file?

If you haven't tried the current Platform 1.2 RC 3, please do so here:

As you can see, I added renaming and hiding to the 1.2 release because I had the time and wanted to get it out there. I'm going to polish it up and post it tomorrow.

I have downloaded the Suite to my flash drive - is there any app here that would enable me to encrypt the whole Suite?

Is there a free, open source and portable app. which can convert cue/bin to iso? I know you can extract files from either type with e.g. 7-Zip and you can burn (and possibly make?) both types with InfraRecorder, but I need an app. which can convert from one format to another.

Hi,

I have been reading about the Portable App format Specification (DRAFT 4) on this site. Please pardon my ignorance, but I am wondering what are the advantages of following these standard specifications and directory structures? As long as all files and settings of an app are contained within one folder, isn't that enough to make that application portable?
