General Discussion

As we're debuting the PortableApps.com Format 3.0 which will include the specs for file formats, I wanted to get other folks' thoughts on what filetypes we should include icons for and information on within the platform by default. These will be icons included with the platform and the associated file formats that will use them by default.

Hi,

i am doing some studies about portable application in general to study the traces that they leave after use. I know everybody is saying that these application don't leave any trace. but i'm sure they will leave something somewhere.

Can someone help me to develop this subject.

Can you tell me names of some applications that can be used to see where an application(one of the portable application for exemple) create files or leave files somewhere, or put keys in register?like a tracer.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, just discovered portable apps.... Great! At last I can set up my work laptop to do what I want.
Does anyone know of PDF editor app? How about a viewer for AutoCad or Microstation files (DGN) ???
I'll start combing the forum post to answer the many questions that are starting to form in my pea brain.

Thanks guys.

Ok, so I tried creating a autorun file for this and it didn't work at all. Is there any way to make it so when I plug in my flash drive, the PortableApps platform starts automatically? I don't want to have to go to the my computer, drive, start, and everything, I just want it to start up automatically when I plug in the drive.

I want to add this one particular java program to my launcher. It is a Java app and has a .jar extension. If I change the extension to .exe it will show up but it will obviously not work. Is there a way to make this show up in my launcher? The fact that I cannot just create a shortcut annoys me.

For reference, this is the program.
Encryption Wizard.

Hi there,

I am interested in providing the PortableApps software to students at the college where I work. A lot of students are not tech Savvy and can't afford premium software. PortableApps would be a pain free alternative for them.

Before I proceed can someone please confirm if using PortableApps in an educational environment would infringe on any terms and conditions/ license agreements?

Thanks,

Wayne

Hello.What happened with Google Chome 18 Stable?I cannot see

can i upload my own apps ? i have made a few with winrar

Good day.
I am a student from Russia. I was advised, as your forum to find information for my graduation project.
and the topic is precisely this: the creation of portable applications.
To be honest, in practice, I did not come across them, is this. I would like to see the entire structure of a database application. as they are, work, and so on.
in my work I need to rassmotert three stiuatsii to create applications, namely to create a portable application in three different development environments and to compare between them.

Does a portable program, any .exe type file run "faster"/"better" from a USB rather than on the hard drive its being run from.

If a app is on a USB drive and is run from there would it be just as fast if the portable app file was on the desktop (on the hard drive) of the computer the USB was attached to?

I realize the whole convenience of Portable apps is to run from a thumb drive, but i was just wondering about this.

Also is there any difference between running an App from a thumbdrive or an external hard drive?
