Hi,

I installed MP3GainPortable_1.2.5.paf.exe in folder A on my laptop, so a folder named MP3GainPortable was created in folder A. I ran MP3GainPortable.exe from that folder and it worked fine.
Then I decided to move folder MP3GainPortable to folder B (still on the same computer), and when I run MP3GainPortable.exe a message pops up which basically reads: "The MP3gain Portable path has changed from A to B since it was last launched. Moving portable applications is not recommended since some features could stop working. Do you want to continue?"

Hello:

I'm new to Portable Apps, so please excuse if this question is somewhat naive.

I use a Flash Drive USB to run Portable Firefox ...I might wish to use it for other Port Apps as well. I never use it on any other PC but this one.

Questions:

How safe is it to simply leave the Flash Drive in the USB port? Say even when I reboot the PC. It's often a nuisance to remove it and re-insert it as the computer often tells me to wait for long intervals before safely removing it.

Why isn't there a linux version of portable apps?? I'm sure at least half the users are linux users.

very frustrating

Thank you very much for Workrave. The BEST program you have ever made available here!

I have been using 2.0 Beta 5 happily for some time, but over the last few days, The 'Check for Updates' always reports that there is noting new.
I have had to manually install Notepad++ , LibreOffice , Filezilla & Google Chrome Beta 11 that have been released recently.
Noting else (I know of ) has changed at my end ????

Well I have waited 8 weeks and gotten no further replies to a previous posting I made about a problem I am experiencing with Thunderbird. So I scoured the PortableApps website for a bug report mechanism and was unable to locate one. SO... How does one report a bug? If the only way to do so is via a posting to a forum, then what guarantee is there that it will be addressed and tracked? Why not set up a Bugzilla or use some other more formal mechanism?

Hope your trip was uneventful, I heard that there were tornado warnings down in Florida today, while up here in Maine we are expecting 8-14 inches of heavy wet snow.

Once again I hope the subject title conveys the idea, but for those who don't get it:

I've installed almost every PA.c app available (except for most of the games) and just about as many unofficial portable apps (Piriform etc.) and by now the app list is getting pretty long. I use favorites to have my most used apps available at the top of the list as well as the arrows at the top and bottom of the list to jump a full page up or down to get quicker to those apps not among my favorites, but it's still a bit slow and inneffective to get to an app far down the list.

I was looking at the addons that are similar to Zotero, The page for Zotero that tells about it does not seem to do it justice and tell or show the features I have on my version. Anyway anyone have good suggestions or better choices for something like this or is it Zotero is the way to go ? My College kids use need these types of things.

I guess the subject title says it pretty well, for those that don't get it I mean:
