General Discussion

Well, there's little activity going around here, and it has been over six years, and I wonder if it is a good idea to discontinue PortableApps.com, just like U3, which discontinued few years ago.

Used the get new apps from the manage app button and the uTorrent app is a FAKE anti virus program it MUST be removed

DONT DOWNLOAD UTORRENT PORTABLE!

When you unpack it and install he dont start utorrent but security shield!
When i look on google it says that security shield is spyware. So dont download it.
And for the admins of the site delete the file from this site..

Here can you se a screen shot of it:

My Opera folder on my Portable Apps USB seems to have become corrupted. When I open it the file structure is all messed up and the files names are a bunch of symbols and characters. All my other files and folders on the drive are fine and they run fine, it's just Opera that's messed up. It's not malware, I ran several scans on it.

The problem is I can't delete the Opera folder. I get a message about not recognizing the file structure or location doesn't exist. How can I delete the folder?

When I move the ThunderbirdPortable folder, it automatically sets the path and everything works great. However this is not the case with all the portable apps.

Can this be made a part of the portable apps standard so all apps are supported ?

Hi There,
I have a mobile firefox on a USB style token and would like to invoke a virtualized adobe reader (instead of the default Adobe Reader) on the token when a PDF file is rendered from the browser. It works fine when I have the absolute path in mimetypes.rdf, however the drive mapping can change depending upon the availablity of drives (forexample, if d: is already used). Is there a way to use realtive path in mimtypes.rdf? I would like to do something

<?xml version="1.0"??>

if already installed, then make the checkbox grey and uncheckable.

Should check if already installed on the directory before "Get More Apps":

if already installed, then make the checkbox grey and uncheckable. (Save internet flows and time)
if already installed but not "up to date", then make the checkbox checked by default and show different version in the column (maybe add in the future?)

Thanks,

I donwloaded many apps from this site. I installed Rising anti virus software. it detected lots of virus, trojan, worms etc. I don't remember what it detected. But are the apps on the site safe? It is said that more than 90% of Android apps aren't safe. Or maybe the technology used for making apps portable is like in the crack ware, which is against by anti virus software for anti-pirated?

I'm just curious: Are you still working on it? Because Pre-Release 4 hasn't come for a week, and hasn't changed much here and it seems to be inactive.

The start.exe portable apps launcher takes a very long time to load the list of applications on both my i5 and i7 computers.
However, it does it almost instantly on my older computers. Did anybody ever noticed it?
Does the launcher does not support multiple CPUs? Because even in my i7 it takes about 5-10 seconds to list about 60 applications.
Does the launcher does not support USB 3.0 port?
Or am I missing something? Some i3 processors list all programs almost instantly, however my i7 takes a while.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi

I have been trying to download XAMPP light.
The link on PortableApps for it is sending me to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#646

But there is no link for XAMPP light (28mb). All 3 links there seem to be for full (not lite) version and much larger files.

Am I missing something? Where could I get the light-weight version of XAMPP?
