Do Portable Apps work on Chromebooks? I know that the following work on Chromebooks: mice, keyboards and USB drives work on Chromebooks. But I was really excited when I found Portable Apps, because, I wanted to move away from the Microsoft PC and associated software constraints imposed by MS. I don't want to spend $200-$300 or more on a Chromebook only to find out that PortableApps won't work. I am ready to cut the cord with Microsoft and PC hardware.

Is it possible to change my Portable Apps username?

I can see lots of other posts asking the same question but there do not seem to be any responses.

What is better, to make app in portable format using programs like VMware ThinApp or using portableapps.com launcher creator? What is the difference?

Hi,

It is possible to download all apps at once? Installing one by one it takes forever.

Thank you

We've had a few requests over the years to make Pale Moon available. Pale Moon attempts to achieve speed by sacrificing some important bits like accessibility, but fails to achieve this goal by pinning to the outdated ESR branch of Firefox. The result is that Pale Moon is slower than Firefox.

As an example, here is a comparison of the current releases of each, Pale Moon Portable 24.4 vs Firefox Portable 28.0. It's a fresh install of each before each test is run. Here are the results for three popular browser benchmarks:

I want to make a program to start maximized when i launch it and i add this line in AppNamePortable.ini file:
AdditionalParameters=/maximized
But it doesn't work.

On the installed version of the program if i create a shortcut of the .exe file and from Properties set it to run in maximized window it works, but for portable launcher doesn't work.

I hope someone can help me with this!

I need a couple recommendations for software. I need

-A text editor good for editing HTML
-A ZIP opener
-GUI web editor similar to Dreamweaver
-A video editor
-Calculator (preferably graphing)

Also, how do you use jPortable and what is a bootable USB drive?

Has anyone tried to see if this idea is possible? I believe such a project would certainly legitimize having VirtualDub as part of the PortableApps suite, but it could also open the door for other potential portable projects, some which do rely on installed codecs.

Just wondering, can you also accept Google Wallet for donations for PortableApps.com? Google Wallet is a type of payment that it can be used.

I want to make this program portable - http://justgestures.com/download/. If i extract the setup file with 7zip the program can be started from JustGestures.exe and it is working fine, but the problem is that it saves the settings in C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local, i am using Windows 7 x32.

What can i do to change the path for the settings folder? Do i have to edit JustGestures.exe and if yes how to do it?

These are the files from the extracted setup file:
