General Discussion

I am just curious given the high pay that the developers of apps receive why is it that they spend their free time and efforts to develop applications for PortableApps?

Since I started the thread I guess I should answer first?

Okay... I don't even know where this post goes but i'm going to put in the general discusion hoping that it's the right place. Okay, so everybody knows that you can only open one program with autorun.inf. I found out the hard way wasting 5 hours of my precious life trying to do so. There is no way (That i know of) to open more than one in an .inf. However, recently I've come across .bat files. I noticed that you could automate a computer to do a lot of thigns in very little time, and it got me thinking. I created a .bat file that looked something like this:

Guys, what's going on? Is upcoming Suite 2.0 eating up all your resources? Why are no more updates coming up? Skype, Google Chrome... Please update the software! Thanks!

I just bought a large SD card. what is the best way to test it and make sure it is as large as advertised and in good working order?

I want to flush out our religion section in Education, so I'd like to do a Qur'an app portably. I haven't found a solid one, but if anyone else has a suggestion that would be great.

Alternatively, we could bundle a Qur'an in PDF with a modded version of Sumatra PDF which could also serve the purpose. The launcher could do language switching as well.

I want to flush out our religion section in Education, so I'd like to do a Torah app portably. I haven't found a solid one, but if anyone else has a suggestion that would be great.

I know that this is a big request? Would it be possible to have at the bottom of each page a hyperlink to the top of that page? Would make it easier to navigate forums for instance I usually peruse the recent posts first, when a post has many replies I have to do a lot of scrolling to get back to the top to hit "recent posts" to view the next topic. Would be easy id I could hit top of page and then hit recent posts.

Hope this makes sense.

I've got ANT Catalogue for my movies and I was just wondering if there was something similar for music. All I keep finding are music players, but I would like to be able to keep information about songs such as lyrics, and be able to do some of the things that can be done with things like MS Access (but without having to set up my own db).

It is my first computer since discovering portable apps, I have many on a flash drive that I used because I did not have anything to install what I want onto.
I was looking for opinions whether I should now install all my favourite apps or just copy the portable apps folder onto my laptop and run them from there as if they are portable?
Which method would be better? I get the privacy from the portable format or the full install will give me full integration.

Does PortableApps already have an official web badge or "antipixel"? (I don't see one on the "press room" page).

I created one just for kicks and wondered if it would be okay to use it, say on my website for example?

I just uploaded an alternate version.
