Havy anyone image viwer portable?
I need!
thank´s

I'm new to Portable Apps & U3 & have some questions around security for Portable Apps. I like the security in U3 but want to can it & move completely to Portable Apps. Does anyone know of any plans to build security into Portable Apps or can anyone recommend a good piece of security software for securing folders on my USB key?

Thanks

how does the PAM change the icon on a flash drive from the "Removeable Disk" icon to the "Portable Apps" icon? i am really curious.

Is there anyway for me to add custom folders to the portable apps menu? I would like to put a games button next to the music, video, and pictures. (I have some really small flash games)

BTW, I apologize if this is already somewhere on the fourms (I could not find it) or if I put this in the wrong place or something.

Thank You!

Hello!

I wondered a long time right now whether I should update firefox etc with the autoupdater or use the download in this forum... are the portable features unusable if i use the autoupdater in the app?? i declined the infotool that reminded me to update my app(s) now many times but there're a lot changes right now in the newer versions and I want to make an update imeditally... My sumerised question:

May I let Firefox (Thunderbird etc.) do his update by itself or should I use the download here and decompress the app about my old version??

Does PortableApps handle only open source software? Or can other no-charge software be included, as long as redistribution is not a problem?

Thank you.

Here's the deal. When MV2 player is installed in the root directory of the drive it works fine. But since I wanted to get to it through the portable apps start menu I dragged and dropped it into the portable apps folder. (The whole MV2 player folder not just the exe). Ok so it works now but the .ini & custom settings revert to default. Next step was to copy the .ini file from my C programs directory installed copy of MV2Player to the USB drive. That didn't fix anything and I checked the ini file in the USB drive and it had my custom settings and skins.

I just made my first portable app (SHWEET!!! ) but the actual app is shareware. I was wondering if I could just post the launcher and the launcher's source and then just include a link to the app in the readme file (or on the post).
I have seen a bunch of posts about this but none of them were clear enough for me to distinguish this. Thank you for any help.

Hi,

I just came back from an extented stay overseas. I went with a couple of usb sticks and without my laptop. I, of course installed the necessary portable apps (firefox, thunderbird, sunbird). I am going back overseas and bringing my laptop as well as my usb sticks.

I am trying to determine if there is any disadvantage if I install the portable version (instead of the regular version) on my laptop to keep my apps more easily in sych between the laptop and usb? I may still need to use my usb drives when I go to certain countries without my laptop.

Thanks
