General Discussion

Tried VMware ThinApp and Cameyo to make Max Payne 3 portable. That game is around 30 GB and consist of a launcher in a separate folder. But the package builds failed.

Though I managed to get it all portable by a simple batch script + junction v1.06 to create symbolic links with.

Here's the batch:
1. It needs to correct current directory because that can change when running as admin
2. Then it needs to correct %DOCUMENTS% environment var because that don't work too, if your computer has changed language during installation etc.

I waffled about whether to put this in General Discussion or Off Topic, but figured as this applied to the site, this is best.

I had a thought recently, that it might make sense to clean up the "Our Team" page by adding a "Past Contributors" heading, and moving those contributors, be they Developers or otherwise, who are no active in working with the site in some fashion, so as to provide a more accurate picture of the number of current contributors to the community.

FYI: download link states "Download FocusWriter Portable" instead of "Download Sigil Portable".

Greetings,

a few days ago I did a virus scan (with ClamWin Portable) of a WinXP box with JKDefrag (non portable apps) installed - it came up with a virus, so I scanned my portable apps usb containing JKDefrag Portable and it also came up with a virus - about a half hour ago I downloaded the latest version of JKDefrag and got

C:\Download\Install\PA_2013_Q1\JkDefragPortable_3.36_Rev_2.paf.exe: Win.Trojan.Autoit-350 FOUND

via ClamWin.

Hi,

Portable apps use more memory than normal installed app. I notice that the memory usage is getting worse if the app is need more resources. For example:

-When I use the Notepad++ as portable or installed version, the memory usage is too small.(let's say that Notepad++ is a small project)

-But when I use LibreOffice the difference is about 100-150 MB.libreoffice is bigger project-use more resources)

-Now it is the first time I try a portable game: AssaultCube. The game starts properly, but I can not play even with worst graphic modes.

Hi

I've just downloaded portableapps 12 beta 2 but still could not find a way to manage file associations, anyone know of a replacement that will work on the current portableapps version? I have found this : https://portableapps.com/node/15583 but the link seems to be broken.

I'm wondering if it is possible to have Portableapps.com on Pinterest?

okay, so i'm an idiot ~

PortableApps.com states:

"A portable app doesn't leave files or folders behind on the PC."

is there truly NOTHING left behind on a laptop you're hooked into with your portable apps on a flash drive?

what if they have a key-stroke recording program installed on the laptop?

my laptop has to go in for repair and they will give me a "loaner" ie: used laptop until i get mine back. will it really be safe to use my passwords, check my bank balance, pay my bills?

thank you!!!

If you're going to start using CAPTCHAs, then I'm not going to be posting anything here again.

I have just installed Portable Apps 11.2 onto a 32GB SD Card (to try out).

I have managed to install one App (CppCheckPortable), but when I try to install another, it just hangs. More than hangs, I cannot shut my PC down. I notice the same thing if I select multiple apps to install, it hangs on the first one every time.

My PC is running Windows 8 64-Bit.

Any ideas someone?
