General Discussion

I just updated PA from 11.something to the current version. The apps I had previously installed no longer show up in the menu. Their folders are still there under the PA folder, but apparently PA does not "see" them.

Now what?

Hi,
I have an 8GB Carbide that I recently purchased.

LOVE the product by the way.

I want to know if I can get the software install that came on it, so I can return it to factory new condition, rather than just using the portable apps software. It has a custom menu and other items that I want to keep on my portable apps drive.

Thanks for your time.

PS. If this is not in the proper forum, my apologies, but I did not see one that fit better.

not SF apps. they are hosted here

why are some hosted here btw? and not all at SF?

like irfanview, and some others... i need previous versions..
is there a copy of older version somewhere on site?

thanks all and happy app making and thanks for this sick ass site!

absolutely fantastico

Hello, guys,
Last time (month or two) I cannot update any app on USB using PortableApps.com updater. Every attempt to update (no matter what) ends up with the following message box:

Is there a good portable screencast tool? What do people recommend?

I was a little surprised to log in today and see an add "Sweet Chinese Women Are Ready to Date U". If this had been an e-mail it would have ended up in the spam bucket. It seemed somehow inappropriate for this site.

I'm sorry to be such a dummy, but I don't see how it works.
Here is my objective:

We want to create a web app that can run on the web server software XAMPP on a Windows PC.

We want to distribute the app via USB Drive for use on computers with no (or very slow) internet capability.

I have created a test version on a USB drive with Chrome & XAMPP. When distributed to the end user, how do they access it? Assuming the USB drive is E: on the PC, does the users just type E:(path to app)?

After each update some settings are lost, e.g. "Multi-Instanc" and "Auto-Completion" switch back to default.

How could I avoid it?

Hi:

I've installed Inkscape and Ghostscript (both in portable versions) in a USB drive and I would like to know how can I link them in order to be able to open EPS with Inkscape.

Thanks in advance

I am looking for a strategy to run portable apps on all my workstations which run Linux. That includes ARM processors, such as the Raspberry Pi Version 2, an ARM V7 processor. That appears to mean running QEMU to emulate an Intel processor and then Wine on top of that to emulate Windows. Does anybody have any experience with that? I would be pleased to buy a Carbide drive if it came configured to run on both Intel and ARM processors and both Windows and Linux operations systems.

Thanks.
Bill
