Chrome Review (~ FF & IE)

Submitted by Hansj on August 30, 2013 - 10:17pm

Chrome is an easy install with PortableApps, because 1) flashplayer works immediately compared to FF that requires a detailed installation to become portable and have lagging issues; 2) Java works too, but maybe only because it is already installed in portableapps commonFiles folder; 3) there are no plugins - only extensions; 4) and you can write your search in the URL so without the searchbar there´s more space for webpage.

PAM icon in My Computer views ( or just Computer :D )

So I am looking at my icon when I am in the File Manager on Windows Vista, and you know how you can change the Views so you can see icons, lists, details, etc? When it is in Medium or Large View, it looks like the icon is just a expanded version of the Small View or the List viewss, so it is pretty raggedy.
Is this normal or was there going to be different icons for different resolutions? Or was that just for screen resolutions?
Would you be open to having the small logo file icon be a tad more detailed? The other windows native file icons seem to scale better bigger.

suggestions for good USB stick duplication

Submitted by xbibleyosef on August 25, 2013 - 4:08pm

Hi folks,

I'm looking to sell some software as part of a charity project on USB flash drives sometime next year.

I'm wondering what is the best app to duplicate USB flash drive on a regular PC in say, 4 or 8 at a time.

I'd like to maybe farm out this to someone to do this for me if I get 100s of orders to my product, give them a USB hub and ship new sticks to them from Amazon or whatever.

I think commercial USB suppliers and duplicators will only do this in 1000x pieces or above.

Has anyone ever "dropped" a portable apps install into a WinPE ISO file?

Submitted by zarraza on August 19, 2013 - 3:43pm

I have a vendor that sent me a winPE boot CD to use with their encryption software, but there is very limited functionality with said ISO file - what I would like to know is if it is possible to open up the ISO file with http://www.winiso.com/products/winiso-free.html and add the portable apps directory into my ISO file to have my entire suite of apps available in my winPE ISO file - virus scans, FTP, and any and all other tools that I may need at my disposal.

first, is it possible?
