General Discussion

I have and idea. Sense we allow people to host their own apps why don't we have people host their own "official" (or "non-official") PortableApps.com suite packages if they wanted they could host support for non "PA.com" portable apps. What do you think?

I was at school the other day browsing with my wonderful portable firefox and accidentally opened a PDF. I thought oh crap here comes Adobe. Well after waiting for it to load I downloaded it and used our wonderful Sumatra PDF portable. I had an idea. Could we create a plug in for FireFox that would make Sumatra PDF open the PDF within the browser like Adobe does? I looked at the mozilla website and I didn't see anything about creating your own plugins does anyone know where I can get some info on how to do it?

I want to know why mac on a stick is on PortableApps. I've wondered for a while it is the only app that...

1. Requires downloading of illegal files or owning something
2. Is NOT hosted on portableapps
3. Is NOT in PAF format
4. Does not include every required file
5. Is not 100% open source
6. Does not have announced updates
7. And to top it off, there is an open source alternative, Linux

me...tedious..lol..how about you?

http://www.osalt.com/ lists Open Source Alternatives. I was looking through the list and saw apps like Ad-Aware, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, McAfee VirusScan, etc. Are those apps really Open Source?

hi, i wana meke a sugestion for portable apps, more specific for firefox. When i use it form my pen drive and have many tabs open something that in a pc takes me 1 munute with my pen takes me more than 4 minutes so i suges to first search in the pc for a HDD then create on it a temp folder "c:\TempFF" and alocate on it the cache and temp files used when surfing so it will be more kicker, aldo maintein all the app on ram (when opening a app load it ALL on ram so it will be fast while the user work), and while closing the app save all the necesary data again on the pen drive.

I see some of the changes in the website and I am wondering if a "view column" will be added. A view column would be a column that displays how many times a thread has been viewed and not just commented on. Sometimes you wonder if certain threads (some of the "0" comment ones) are even being looked at, not necessarily any of mine.

I am fairly new to the Portable Apps software and i looked for the answer to this question before posting, but couldn't find one. I purchased a U3 thumb drive which came with some Portable Apps software pre-loaded on it. After a few days i just about only use the Portable Apps stuff for daily computer use (basically email, browsing and file storage). I do use the password protection feature on my U3 thumbdrive.

[Edit: It's back now. Perhaps too many people trying to access it at once?]

Looks like the main page is currently inaccessible due to a Drupal problem. I accessed the forum through a Google search, so it looks like the whole back end of things is fine, but the front page is gone. PortableApps.com brings up a standard Drupal install page:

Unable to connect to database server

If you still have to install Drupal, proceed to the installation page.
