General Discussion

Hello,

I'm intrested in writing a SRS document on PortableApps.com: Portable Software/USB (Vers. 1.6.1.0). If you have questions about what it is you can check it out here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_Requirements_Specification).

If you're ok with it, would you be willing to provide me with information (manual, explain functions, etc) in case I need any?

is there a portable tiwtter application?

As I have tried to tell people before, there is a paste bug in Notepad++, and Notepad++ adds "?" character to pasted text.

Try this and see for yourself. Go to any youtube video, and then highlight and copy the entire text message posted by someone. Then paste it into a notepad++ text file and notice that "?" characters will appear randomly in the text.

But interestingly, some text pasts OK, but some add a random ?

So try a few different comments and copy and paste them.

Hello there,

A question for the portal admin.

Not sure if it's my firefox settings (master password set but not logged all the time to the credentials) or drupal / forums on portableapps.com but for every page / link I open it seems it asks for login and this is annoying when I do not actually to post something on the forum but only to download an app or read posts.

Isn't there a cookie setting so the portal does not ask to login every time which of course brings my firefox's "login with master password" to popup?

Cheers.

when i use the key search it does get a little annoying because the posts aren't organized by date or year. i am a big fan of portable apps and i love how i can take them anywhere but im looking for apps but it makes it hard when stuff from 2006 is mixed in with 2010 stuff is there any hope for the organization like :

Happy Holidays everyone.. I hope that you enjoy the theme that I just made with the help of PAM Theme Builder.

I've done some minor editing on the Development Test Releases page. I've removed the ability to sort since it was slowing the page down quite a lot. The zebra striping is now done via a simple (and fast in the browser) CSS3 rule. That means it won't show up striped in IE but will in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. The end result is that the page will pop right up for all users now.

Right, so I've been looking for a portable "virtual drive" for ages now, and my Google feng shui only revealed a couple of dead topics and a thread here and there, but, for those who've been looking for such an app, I have an answer.

The closest thing to portable virtual drives, was VCdControlTool by Microsoft, but A. it has been discontinued, and B. It officially only supports Windows XP, and C. It doesn't support 64 bit operating systems. - Which was a deal breaker for me.

Hello,

I like the portable apps thing very much. But one thing is kinda "missing".

You need to install special apps created for the platform. Platform is tiny and great. Good job.

But what about to create kinda "bridge" between windows and the platform. What i exactly mean is to manipulate the variables like %appdata% to a folder on the USB device. This way it would be possible to install any program on the device.

Think about it

This may sound like a silly question but how can I make shortcuts in my flashdrive to open applications? I know how to make them but they don't work on a different computer once I have made them.
