General Discussion

I'm not sure what to think - I'm using a toshiba satellite notebook with vista on a secure home network. Had portable sudoku installed for quite some time, when it suddenly disappeared from my computer. The folders and all files except for the .exe file were still there, but twice, the .exe file has disappeared - I was able to re-install the first time, but now, get a consistent error informing me that the folder cannot be opened (I'm installing it in the programs folder on my C: drive). Any idea what may be happening? (Probably not relevant, but I'm using Avast anti-virus app).

Some applications, like Firefox, will alert you when a new version is available. As a rule, is it OK to update the application in this manner or should I await a notification from portableApps.com that a new version is available? Seems like the later, as the application itself may not be written to preserve the portable configuration.

Thanks.

I tried the latest Portable Apps Updater and I'm really confused on how I should use it and how it works.

I have my portable apps in a c:\ drive called "portableapps\

Do I need to install the Portable Apps Updater in the same directory or can it be in a different directory?

And when I execute it, it asks to install Portable Apps 0.90 or something, which when I select a single application, it goes through some processes and says it's been installed. But I can't tell what exactly has been installed and what was updated.

I like the home page that shows new apps, but is there a single page that shows all portable apps and current version, plus the last release date?

Thanks.

Hello all,

I'm looking for a recommendation on image management software. I know the recommended product is Gimp, but, I'm looking for something on par with Adobe Lightroom for both editing and management. Wondering what other options people are using out there (either portable or not).

Hello
I am new .
some times I reboot the computer before closing my portable Apps so at the case do not do setting back and Registry back.
is there help if some my portable Apps is running And I reboot PC before rebooting tell me your potable Apps is running?
thanks

I am new to portable applications, and I must say, I am somewhat hooked.

My question is why would we want to choose a portableapps.com version of a software over the native version from the developer, such as notepad++ or filezilla who both offer .zip portable downloads?

If the developer offers a portable version, is there a benefit to the portableapps.com version? Wouldn't the launcher slow things down a bit?

I do not use the portableapps menu at all.

Good News: I've just made Active Tcl Portable!

Bad News: It's license requires Permission from Active State to distribute.

Edit (see first comment):

How do I keep my Portable Apps versions up to date with the latest releases?

Do I have to repeat the complete process each time or is there a way to just download the updated versions?

Thanking any and all in advance for your help.
