Hi, what are the differences between PortableApps versions of apps and their standalone portable versions?

For example, SumatraPDF and KeePass both have portable versions on their websites. Did the PortableApps developers simply take the standalone portable versions and put them into the PortableApps platform framework, or did they start with the non-portable versions and modified them?

Thanks.

HI folks

PA Directory downloads all Apps to C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Temp\

Is there any way to change the download path to the usb-harddisk where PA is running ?

Thanks for help

Hi all

I am not a computer expert but I have a problem. I installed PortableApps on my USB Kingston and worked fine then installed the Kingston urDrive program but did not like and uninstalled it. Now every time I use PortableApps a warning stating that the file has been altered autorun appears. I want to know how I can prevent this warning from reappearing. thanks

So I downloaded chromium, firefox, and chrome internet browers and installed them onto my portable drive, and they work, but I notice they also all leave lots of files on the c drive of the computer (mainly in c:\users\username\Appdata, but other folders as well).

Is there any portable browser that leaves the c drive completely alone?

(If I run a browser on someone else's computer, I don't want to leave any trace at all on their c drive whatsoever, as in zero, nada, zip, nothing.)

When app is marked as favorite it is show at top of list of menu "All portable apps". But when I go to categorized menu app is shown on it's alphabetical position. Is it how it should be? I would prefer it on top of list.

Thanks a lot.

When I have shown list of all apps in menu there is not possible to scroll between them so I cannot select app which is not shown in the list. When I have list shown by categories it is possible to scroll apps. Is it how it should be?

Regards

I'm looking for a decent file syncing service (like Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, ...) that offers a 'portable' client program.

I'm not interested in it being hosted on PortableApps.com or it adhering to any PA.com standards.

It just needs to be 'portable' (no install, no registry, self contained).

The only one I found so far is TeamDrive, but I'm not too fond of the client or the service in general.
I'm hoping there's something else out there.

If this is possible and if John or any other can help me i'd appreciate it.

Thanks

I'm going to stick with my laptop for some months, so I decide to liberate my USB stick by running the Platform with my mostly used portable apps directly from local HDD. Will all data still be confined within the installation folder, leaving no traces elsewhere?
And question two, by the time I switch to another PC, if I simply copy the entire folder to the root of a USB stick and connect it to the new PC, will the Platfrm still work?
And just out of curiosity, what will happen if I click the eject button while running it from local drive?
Thaks in advance.
