What is the best solution to make it portable?

1. To register a program's use of document folders and registry and make a batch, that before launch setup symbolic links and registry additions, so it can be installed on portable device together with its documents
2. Or to use sandboxie portable or not, and install program in a sandbox on portable

I haven't found specific Kitty application forum.

Someone knows how to create custom commands on Kitty Portable?

Thanks

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to download and install GIMP from the Portable App Directory, however I've been seeing the same issue for the last few days...

the download gets to 100%, with just a few kB to go however then seems to get stuck... the transfer rate keeps updating indicating something is coming across however the size of the downloaded file does not increase...

After several seconds i get an error "Reget Error on file"

In the moment all portable apps only availabe for the Windows OS. Is for the future planned, that portable apps can also be used for other OS? In particular, I've been thinking about mobile OS like Android.

I think it's much more useful.

Just see the recent success of sites like Quora or Stack Exchange. For PortableApps the Stack Exchange model would fit better. There is Askbot to provides such a platform for free. AFAIK LibreOffice's support "forum" is an Askbot powered Q&A site.

If anyone is familiar with the popular Hiren's Boot CD you'll note that he already includes several programs in the .iso that are launched with a command-script shortcut. Among these are 7-zip, CCleaner, Defraggler, etc.

What I want to know is how to add PortableApps in their "native" format to a custom Hiren's Boot image. In the extracted archive is a folder "Programs" which contains the command scripts and a subfolder "Files" which contains the actual programs they launch.

Basicly I was using Portable Skype, It was keep asking me to upgrade. After months of ignoring I decided ok fine you win so I click "upgrade" button and finish upgrading. Shock...Absolute shock.!! When I get back There are no logs whatsoever!
How do I get them back? Thanks!

the idea just came to me one day, i would like to know if anybody would be willing to try to build a small program for windows 7 that runs silently in the background but when you plug in a flash drive or device with portable apps on it, there is an option in the AutoPlay that says launch PortableApps Platform. If there is already something similar please let me know.

When I launch PortableApps the icon appears in the taskbar. In previous versions I was able to have it in the notification area instead. Can that be done in the current version?

Thanks,
Don

Hi,

PortableApps platform does not list the "Rapid CRC Unicode Portable" on the latest program list (portableapp directory). The latest new app on the list is "Wise Data Recovery Portable".

Thank you
