General Discussion

Hi all,

Just installed PortableApps on my USB-stick. It looks good!

There are some things i couldn't find so quickly, only old topics or it's not clear for me.

• Is it easy to add own portable but paid software? I use the Pro-version of NoteCase and i like to integrate it.
• Can i easily ad a shortcut to the startmenu?
• Is there a searchbar available for the startmenu like the windows-startmenu?
• And, last but not least, how can i quickly register portable programs on a computer?

Hi,

I will copy /Data folder from my USB drive (E:\) to another local drive(F:\).

Is there any problem if I copy them with this command (example with Listary):

xcopy "E:\PortableApps\FILES\BACKUP DATA\ListaryPortable\Data" "F:\PortableApps\PortableApps\ListaryPortable\Data" /S /E /I /Q /H /K

Someone told me that I should use /O /X parameters which are:

/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/X Copies file audit settings (implies /O).

I've been searching for the past few hours and tried a bunch of different utilities, but none seem to do exactly what I need.

I have 2 files in the root directory of a network drive and a folder on that network drive that I'd like to sync with a backup copy on my USB drive.

Hi i have been testing the several antivirus apps here on portable apps in this list click here

1. calm win: seems to update virus definitions ok. and scan system. what i noticed is that it does not seem to do anything with detected viruses.
2. HijackThis Portable: again great scanning ability. but detects things that are not viruses. when checking the app and clicking analyse this button it gives error of not being connected to internet and i have to manually check them myself online.

I wanted to ask this as it was bugging me.

1. i noticed that when running portable app from the menu they seem to lag and take time to run. they are somewhat slower that i expect. really noticeable when using any of the portable browsers and using youtube etc.

2. i run avast antivirus and when ever i run any portable apps application avast detects a threat and scans the app. would love to know if anyone else uses avast and knows a tweak to set the portable apps directory to be ignored when running any portable apps.

my system is
os: win7 home premium 32bit

It's difficult to know whether or how this topic has been explored in the past because a search engine can only find 'so much'.

Having recently acquired and iPad from my nephew, I find it interesting how that mobile device handles security issues. Essentially, when running any iOS device you have the iOS operating system which runs totally independently from all other software. All added software utilities are essentially separate entities; each software installation is in effect a portable application that runs in its own sandbox.

Is Warmux dead? The homepage seems to be a Russian gaming site. Still, I guess it could be worse.

When upgrading from Opera 12.12 to 12.13 my default search engine IXQUICK was/is changed to GOOGLE. Happens every time. And that is definitly NOT OK. Probably an Opera issue but good to know.
