Beta Testing

There are two categories of information that apply to every app here that are not included on the main App Directory page, whether it's on the site itself or in the new platform app store, & that may be important for users to know.

The first is if the app only runs on Windows or whether it will also run on WINE. Some (many?) people like their apps truly portable, not only physically but also to run across OS platforms. If they're not familiar with a particular app, this may be a consideration for whether or not they want to start using it.

I cannot find the backup and restore source anywhere, does anyone know where I can get this?

Also (I am just double checking.) I can use this as a backbone for another program?

Thank you all in advance!

I have problems with newest PA Menu.

1. Is there any way to set "old" scrolling? I really don't like that new scrollbar.
2. I have wide screen @ 1366*768 and in this new version Menu started to appear in about half of the screen with and I don't know how to put it back, downgrade didn't work. I also checked the configuration file and there the position is set to "bottom right". Before upgrading the Platform everything was working fine... Please help.

Application: F.lux
Category: Utilities
Description: from website F.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again. Tell f.lux what kind of lighting you have, and where you live. Then forget about it. F.lux will do the rest, automatically.

OUTDATED: This release of Eclipse Portable is now outdated, please to go the new thread for the latest release.

If you've tried the new app organization in 'smart' mode, you may notice that it's not quite what we'd like as a default view. Currently, it lists favorites first. Then all other apps are listed by the number of times they've been run. I'm thinking it may make more sense to sort them by when they were last run instead. Possibly even adding in the ability for an app you just added to filter to the top for a day or so. What do you think?

Application: Jarte
Category: Office
Description: Jarte is a tabbed word processor based on the Microsoft WordPad word processing engine built into Windows. Like WordPad, Jarte is fast starting, easy to use, reliable, requires little screen space, and creates documents perfectly compatible with Word. But Jarte reveals the WordPad engine's true hidden power by adding many features Microsoft never made available in the WordPad program.

I am in the process off finalizing Jarte as a portable app. I have permission of the author and in fact he will be releasing a new version next week that will even be more PortableApps friendly. This would be for the freeware version. My question is is there any conflict in the TOS of PortableApps since he also has a paid version as well?
