BlueGriffon Portable - Optimizing for PortableApps

Submitted by michele.bartole... on March 19, 2015 - 12:46pm

Dear Forum,

I have recently installed a portable version of the useful HTML editor BlueGriffon in my USB drive. But it's not conformed to the PortableApps standard (I found it here in portablefreeware.com), so when I open the Platform, I see several "BlueGriffon" listed:

Windows Portable-Apps into Docker image running on Mac/Linux OS host.

Some Portable-Apps are specific to Windows OS but not on Mac/Linux OS.
Solution of this problem can be using Docker Virtuel Environment as a Virtual Machine but very light.

Since Chrome is becoming less portable when does it stop being portable?

Submitted by Wm ... on March 9, 2015 - 7:06pm

I no longer regard Chrome as a PA, I use it quite happily in more than one work situation where I am performing a role. If someone wants to gather the mixed data from many people using a work system then they can feel free to do so. I think some people look for on-line stuff just because they are bored or want to play with google / chrome. That is none of our business.

What we should be wondering about is at what point, given the continuum, does Chrome stop being a PA ?

I think if someone said,

"Hey, there's this new browser, Chrome, can u guys make it portable?"
