General Discussion

Earlier today I posted several lengthy (and well-composed) comments on the following thread in this forum:
https://portableapps.com/node/28953

I posted under the name "suggestiondude", an account I made with a disposable email address.

I was disturbed to see that the admin John T. Haller has now deleted all of my comments and locked the thread from further comments:

I installed all the programs and I found these errors:

[polish ver portable apps launcher, no betas]

installed, not working:
Celestia [not working installed alone]
Sunbird
Gramps [not working installed alone]
qBittorrent [not working installed alone]
AssaultCube [not working installed alone]

will not install:
kchmviewer-bad script, working installed alone
2x client -bad install path

Many time by installing many programs at 1 time it show "file not found" and "divide by zero" and crash portable apps launcher.

I recently installed the PortableApps platform and numerous apps. However several apps fail to completely download and install. OpenOffice, LibreOffice, K-3DP, GIMP and Inkscape download all but the last ~5kB, then give a download error and fail to install. Help!!

Hello.

Today i received a SPAM email on address i allocated specifically for portableapps.com. Other addresses allocated for other sites didn't get anything (so it wasn't a mass-address attack on my domain). Please check your security logs for userbase leakage.

I will provide *.eml if needed.
Thank you.

I'm sure this must have been asked before, but I couldn't find anything. Is it possible to limit the update frequency to maybe once a week, rather than every day?

If there are any users here running PortableApps from cloud services such as Dropbox or Skydrive, do you have any "best practices" that you adhere to, either self-imposed or otherwise recommended?

Due to the fact that numerous antivirus products label DShutdown as either a potentially unwanted program or malware, we have removed DShutdown Portable from the app store, updater and website. Users regularly had the app removed from their drives when used on various PCs and we had a couple close calls with hosting considering it a virus, so we have made the decision to permanently remove it so it does not otherwise impact our users or our site. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I am changing my USB with the PAL. I've got some questions,
Which document gaves the folders their icons?
How can I change the folders like this:
+Libary
| +Documents
| +Pictures
| +Music
| +Videos
Gave theme Dutch Names, and the PAL Menu will still find the folders?

Respected Sir/Madam, I want a small Information from You. Is there posibility to make Portable Apps to Standard Installation. i.e. I want a standard Installation Programme from Portable Apps.

I have problems with my USB flash drive PortableApps COMPANION, connect it to any of my two PCs (desktop PC with Windows 7 and Laptop Lubuntu Linux) and is not read by the OS sometimes only LED light turns on and even that other happens. What happens? What I can do?
