When I move the ThunderbirdPortable folder, it automatically sets the path and everything works great. However this is not the case with all the portable apps.

Can this be made a part of the portable apps standard so all apps are supported ?

Hi There,
I have a mobile firefox on a USB style token and would like to invoke a virtualized adobe reader (instead of the default Adobe Reader) on the token when a PDF file is rendered from the browser. It works fine when I have the absolute path in mimetypes.rdf, however the drive mapping can change depending upon the availablity of drives (forexample, if d: is already used). Is there a way to use realtive path in mimtypes.rdf? I would like to do something

<?xml version="1.0"??>

if already installed, then make the checkbox grey and uncheckable.

Should check if already installed on the directory before "Get More Apps":

if already installed, then make the checkbox grey and uncheckable. (Save internet flows and time)
if already installed but not "up to date", then make the checkbox checked by default and show different version in the column (maybe add in the future?)

Thanks,

I donwloaded many apps from this site. I installed Rising anti virus software. it detected lots of virus, trojan, worms etc. I don't remember what it detected. But are the apps on the site safe? It is said that more than 90% of Android apps aren't safe. Or maybe the technology used for making apps portable is like in the crack ware, which is against by anti virus software for anti-pirated?

I'm just curious: Are you still working on it? Because Pre-Release 4 hasn't come for a week, and hasn't changed much here and it seems to be inactive.

The start.exe portable apps launcher takes a very long time to load the list of applications on both my i5 and i7 computers.
However, it does it almost instantly on my older computers. Did anybody ever noticed it?
Does the launcher does not support multiple CPUs? Because even in my i7 it takes about 5-10 seconds to list about 60 applications.
Does the launcher does not support USB 3.0 port?
Or am I missing something? Some i3 processors list all programs almost instantly, however my i7 takes a while.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi

I have been trying to download XAMPP light.
The link on PortableApps for it is sending me to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#646

But there is no link for XAMPP light (28mb). All 3 links there seem to be for full (not lite) version and much larger files.

Am I missing something? Where could I get the light-weight version of XAMPP?

Is it possible to extract the contents of a paf.exe file, copy it to a folder on a desktop computer, and run it from there? It is possible to run these apps directly on XP and above?

Hello all,

I just updated PortableApps to Pre-Release 3 and I could not find a theme similar to the rainbow theme that existed in the previous version. Is there any way I can re-download it?

First off, I did a search & did not come up with an answer (though I suspect that there was one buried in there some where).

I'd like too be able to start Chrome portable with a 1 of 2 .ini's which have different Additional Parameters. I know I can edit GoogleChromePortable.ini with the appropriate parms. But I'd like to void having to do the edit when I want to start the app with different parms.
