General Discussion

I just upgraded my Portable App version of Firefox and found that it's incompatible with some plugins that I need for work. I'd like to just deprecate back to the version I was using before. Is there an archive of older Portable App versions of software so that people can deprecate if need be?

I had a power outage and my kind of important text file got garbled.

All '[NUL]', when opening with Notepad 2 Portable. Is there any chance to recover it?

The bad news is, I accidentally have overwritten my backup from a few days back with the garbled one. Now I truly need to recover it. What (portable) app can you recommend for this job?

I tried all the different encodings in Notepad 2 (portable) to no avail. Maybe the proper solution - if there is any - is something completely different.

There are many ways to show thanks. Donations are always helpful.

Letting people know why we use the tools that they spend so much time and energy developing can be an additional way to show thanks.

I was thinking about why I use PortableApps.

The answer: It makes my life better.

I seem to remember that there was a way to have the PA platform launcher *only* show up in the system tray, and not show up in the Windows 7 taskbar. Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

I'd like to know if there's a way to keep the menu open until I'm done launching the apps that I want to use. I need to run a few apps daily and it's kind of a bummer having to reopen the menu each time for the apps I need to run.

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance,

I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post this.

AquaSnap Portable, when run, reports there is a new version.

Do others agree that auto-updaters for apps should be turned off by default so that "phone home" calls are not automatically made?

Does Infrarecorder make any changes to the registry?
thank you

Have just completed the installation and configuration of an account in Port Tbird on a 32 GB thumb drive. Port Tbird does connect to the account in Yahoo and tells me there are 66 messages, but then is unable to download any of then, eventually telling me "There are no messages to download".

The account in Yahoo.com is one of my throw-away accounts and I confirmed that there were unread messages to download. However, Port Tbird attempts valiantly to do so, going around and around in circles, but finally gives up saying "There are no messages to download" which is untrue.
