Why the luanchers comsume large amount memory (30+ MB) even for tiny softwares ?
Here is example....

While SumatraPDF uses only 3.8 MB for itself,
the launcher wastes 36 MB.

Hello,
Just a quick question.
I use Chrome portable often at work, from a USB stick.
If I install the portable version to my PC Hard drive,
would I still have the same benefits as running it from
the stick ( not leaving a 'trail' behind ) ?
Is there any way of copywriting my intellectual property in an app? I have a great idea for a business that isn't mine, I would like to help them and make some money off it at the same time.
Hi,
i recently changed my main computer (from desktop to laptop). Anyway, as a heavy user of portable apps, i moved all my apps onto the new hard drive, and everything went fine except for AIMP Portable.
When I launched it, it forgot all the settings i used on the previous computer. I kept a copy on my previous computer, so i could recheck, and it is definitely an issue: the programs stores data in the
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\AIMP3
folder (i got all my apps on another drive, in a "Apps" folder at its root).
Hello my friends!
I have some pair files .bin/.cue and i need to access them and extract them.
i have 7zip and pea-zip but they dont support.
any other alternative (open source preferable)?
Hi,
Creating folder
When I open Mozilla:
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\\Mozilla\Firefox
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox
When I open Foxit reader:
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Foxit Software
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Foxit Software\RMS
When I close one of them they are deleting automatically.
I have all my portableapps on D:\ drive. Windows 7 has installed on my C:\ drive.
Has anyone else noticed that if you go to the online store, under the Office section, Mozilla Sunbird, Portable Edition shows up. However, if you go through the PA.com Platform via Apps, then Get More Apps... you see Mozilla Sunbird, Portable Edition 2nd Profile, but not Mozilla Sunbird, Portable Edition? I just noticed this...
First of all, my apologies, my English is not good. but I try.
Since many years, my family and myself, we are downloading and using programs, offered on this site by Mr. John and his able
helpers. I wish I was able to offer them a glass of cold water, but our means do not permit. However, my family and my self wish to tell Mr. John and his people, that we thank you for such nice programs, which we might not have been able to get other wise. God bless you and thank you from our hearts.
me Justin and my family.
Hi everyone,
I recently emigrated to Germany and am struggling with the language. My firm deals with a lot of scanned PDFs in German but doesn't convert them to searchable ones.
I would like a portable USB tool that I could quickly lift text out of scanned PDFs and place into google translate for example.
Does such a thing exist?
I'm guessing from no replies to my queries, that no "full" manual exists?
It's similar to uT, but not exact copy. Haven't found much in "Help" on qBT's official site.
Couple of examples for questions:
In options>downloads section, a "keep incomplete torrents in."
? Assume ? if don't change default for this, incomplete & complete are kept in same location?
But, doesn't seem to be option to save torrents to CUSTOM path. There's an option to "save files to location," (change location to save files, but not for torrents?)
