General Discussion

We're transitioning a change in one of our freeware download networks which may result in some outages over the next 24 hours for some users. The end result should be to fix the issues we've seen with some new releases being unavailable for 12 hours or more as seen with the recent Skype Portable and Wise Disk Cleaner Portable releases. We're sorry for any inconvenience.

There are 3rd party legal DRM removal tools. ( http://mp3.about.com/od/essentialsoftware/tp/best_drm_removal_software.htm ) I don't want to do anything with the DRM just not use the annoying Audible client to listen to the books.

What are my better portable options? Perhaps anyone tried these for playback? Any of these are preferred over the other?

What happened to CrystalDiskMark v3.03 Portable??

It is in the app directory, but comes up as 404 when you go to download from sourceforge.net.

Searching sourceforge.net turns up nothing.

How to change default directory of the folders "Music," "Documents," etc. on the launcher? I did some googling and found this feature requested many times several years ago, but could not find whether or not this feature is now released. A way to change the name of these folders would also be very useful.

Thank you.

...i need to use User StyleSheets css ...but in this verion is not.
HELP!

I didn't find a place to post this so here it is.

I subscribed to 1 thread and everything was fine. That is until today when i got 7 emails, 6 about a new post (all about the same post) and one about that post being removed.

The "Details" link seems to be dead in apps in which it's under the download link and not inside it. In other words, in freewares. For example, Skype Portable and Balabolka Portable.

Also, it's always a full (though at least relative) URL instead of just an anchor. It probably causes some browsers to refresh the page in vain, causing you unneeded bandwidth and slowing the process for users.

Why is there a portable apps version of Notepad++? Doesn't the original developers offer a portable version? On their site: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.5.4.html, they offer a non-installer version. Does that mean that their version is portable and its settings are saved as portable?

I downloaded the portable Netbeans from PortableApps.com then ran the JDK installation, pointing it to install to the JDK folder in NetBeans Portable > App > jdk. Do I need to change the config files or something?

Also, is it truly portable or will I need some of Java pre-installed in another computer for me to use this portable Netbeans on it?

I am having trouble installing the portable apps platform. I downloaded PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_11.2.exe. I am running a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with Windows 8.1.

When I try to run the installer, it just says "This App can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher."

I think I saw that it supports windows 8.1, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any thoughts?
