General Discussion

Sorry to be such a bore...
Recent apps show the word 'Free' on the download button. I don't think the 'Download now' should be followed by the word 'Free'.

Any updates on the apps that we've been developing?

I've seen a few sporadic remarks that maybe one of Patrick's apps is coming, and that Simeon's Assault Cube is coming, and an extremely general "if i saw your app in a weekly update, it's coming" but for the most part, NONE of the current developers have gotten any sort of comment on their apps specifically, whether it be in the app topic itself, or in your weekly updates where we tell you our apps are ready for go-live.

This has been replaced by the next weekly update here:

Howdy all and welcome to another exciting PortableApps.com Update. I must apologize for not keeping on the ball with an update last week, so there's extra punch and pie in the back for anyone who wants some. Now lets get down to business.

Updating Current Portable Apps (In Progress)

Anyone use X-Firefox or X-Thunderbird? Any difference between X-* and the Portable Apps releases?

TIA>

I don't mean to gush, but it is only now that I'm reaping the full benefits of PortableApps.

I live in the United States. Up until now, my experience with PortableApps has been using them on my friends computers, my parents computers, or a few random office computers. I liked the concept, and it worked very well.

Hi, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, I've searched the forums but no thread stood out for this problem. As I type, OpenOfficePortable is installing on my OCZ Rally2 8GB flash drive. Best guess is, it's taken 20 minutes so far, the progress bar is about 2/3, I'd say it's been on th_en_US_v2.dat for about 5 minutes. It was the same installing GIMP Portable, and others.

I guess that's just the way it is, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Any insight? I know flash drives are slower for writing, but this is truly ridiculous...

How do I put activesync on my USB flash drive i.e. SD card?
thank You

ok, i can't get any non-portable program to work with portableapps. i place the program in the pa folder, in a filder in the pa folder, above the pa folder, and in a folder above the pa folder. none of them work. what am i doing wrong.

Hello, Just joined so this is probably a question that has already been asked a million times so please forgive my ignorance to ask again.

If I loose my USB drive I want to keep my info safe. Is it possible when someone tries to open the "portable apps" menu they will be presented with a user name password dialog that prevents them from going any further, thereby making the stick useless? Preferably the dialog is presented before any window showing files etc comes up.

TIA Darc
