I have been trying TeamViewer PortableApps and I tell you, this thing is far from portable, its no different than the so called portable TeamViewer they offer on TeamViewer.com (Which sucks), it writes to AppData, registry and who knows where else!

Can someone clarify this please?

Hi,

Is there any configuration or modification that I can make to open always Google Chrome portable in incognito mode when I open it from the launcher or the PortableApps Platform?

I want to add some privacy featuring in my Chrome experience since it boot up.

Thanks!

I don't have a good connection of wifi on my laptop so I go to the cafe and rent a computer to download torrent into my portable HDD using utorrent portable. All is well until the update for 3.1.3 arrives. It doesn't seem to retain any data of the previous session and always ask me to install. When I return to the shop I see the utorrent empty of loaded torrents I was seeding last time which is frustrating since I need to reload it again and some files are too large it takes time.

The cafe has a deepfreeze so data from the last user before shutdown isn't retain.

How do I cure this?

(I'm not really sure which subforum this goes to)

So if I understand...
1. Flash Player will not become a PortableApp
2. There isn't a portable app to keep your flash game save files with you

Is this correct?

As we're debuting the PortableApps.com Format 3.0 which will include the specs for file formats, I wanted to get other folks' thoughts on what filetypes we should include icons for and information on within the platform by default. These will be icons included with the platform and the associated file formats that will use them by default.

Hi,

i am doing some studies about portable application in general to study the traces that they leave after use. I know everybody is saying that these application don't leave any trace. but i'm sure they will leave something somewhere.

Can someone help me to develop this subject.

Can you tell me names of some applications that can be used to see where an application(one of the portable application for exemple) create files or leave files somewhere, or put keys in register?like a tracer.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, just discovered portable apps.... Great! At last I can set up my work laptop to do what I want.
Does anyone know of PDF editor app? How about a viewer for AutoCad or Microstation files (DGN) ???
I'll start combing the forum post to answer the many questions that are starting to form in my pea brain.

Thanks guys.

Ok, so I tried creating a autorun file for this and it didn't work at all. Is there any way to make it so when I plug in my flash drive, the PortableApps platform starts automatically? I don't want to have to go to the my computer, drive, start, and everything, I just want it to start up automatically when I plug in the drive.

I want to add this one particular java program to my launcher. It is a Java app and has a .jar extension. If I change the extension to .exe it will show up but it will obviously not work. Is there a way to make this show up in my launcher? The fact that I cannot just create a shortcut annoys me.

For reference, this is the program.
Encryption Wizard.

Hi there,

I am interested in providing the PortableApps software to students at the college where I work. A lot of students are not tech Savvy and can't afford premium software. PortableApps would be a pain free alternative for them.

Before I proceed can someone please confirm if using PortableApps in an educational environment would infringe on any terms and conditions/ license agreements?

Thanks,

Wayne
