I find that with Opera 952 I can no longer download any of the portable apps from Sourceforge....Other downloads from other places work fine. Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks

I'm trying out the portable apps by installing the Suite Lite to a CD-RW (700mb). Yet, when I try to install, a message pops up saying that there is not enough room. I have just reformatted the CD-RW and still I'm unable to install. Is it possible to install to a CD-RW? Thanks

Would it be possible for the next release?

Currently, I have firefox2 and firefox3 installed to portable. On the menu however, both show up "Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition" which is the "product name" at assembly.

Could it be possible that this is changed to read product name only if summery subject is not added? This way, the user can control how it appears on the menu.

Thanks
Mike

They exist freewares softwares similar to the Disk Logon that is free?

Sorry for starting a new topic, I did try to search for a thanks heading.

Windows only: You've seen its flashy features and were impressed with its speed, and now you wish you could put Google Chrome on your thumb drive and take it with you wherever you go? It's far from official, but German blogger Caschy has put together a portable version of Google Chrome you can run off your thumb drive. Just unzip the download to your thumb drive and run ChromeLoader.exe. All your Chrome settings and profile information now save to your thumb drive.

just wondering if anyone use true crypt and how good it is

Hi,

Just wondering if it is possible to plug a USB thumbdrive containing PortableApps into a game console (i.e XBOX360 or PS3) and able to run the apps from there?

Thanks in advance...

Some apps run quite slowly off USB drives, Firefox being a notable example that I use a lot. What I normally do is copy the app to the desktop of the machine I am using, run it and then copy it back to the USB drive when finished.

That way it runs at normal speed, and with Firefox you can even have a disk cache if you set it to clear on exit.

John,

While the PortableApps.com Development Tests page is very useful, Zach Huddock has been having less spare time, and now does not seem to be updating the page at all (other than for Songbird?). I am willing to work on this page to try and keep it up to date with any new programs/releases.

If you think that I would be useful with that, please give me access to change it and I will then feed through all the comments that have stacked up, and then continue to maintain it.
