General Discussion

I think the category list should be updated and a few apps shuffled.

SpeedCrunch seems more Education- than Office-related.

The Internet category is a bit catch-all. I don't think Nvu/KompoZer need to be in the Internet category (development is just fine). Thunderbird doesn't need to be there either. It can stay in the office category or perhaps be grouped with Pidgin and Miranda into a new Messaging category (along with the Lightning Thunderbird extension).

Hi, this is not a question about running PortableApps in Linux.

The main question is the following: I'll maybe switch to a laptop with Linux, from what I read in some applications (Thunderbird, Firefox) it's only a question to copy a certain folder to the application structure so that the application can become portable. So, if I understand correctly, it does not matter if the folder is copied from Windows or Linux and so on. Is that right?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to set up my PA on my USB key so that whenever I plug in the USB key on any windows computer, it auto launches CoolPlayer. Is this possible? Any help is greatly appreciated

Hey John,
You have a typo in the support page about configuring Miranda. Step seven you have "if you don't see if" the second if should be "it". Also in the same step You say "double click on it's system tray", that "it's" should be a "its". ( In case you don't know, "It's" is a contraction meaning "it is" and "its" is the possessive pronoun.) Sorry I know I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi.

I have a Sony 8 GB USB Stick, on which I have every "formal" PA App, and soon some more, I hope.

I am seeing something strange, though...

Occassionally, when I shut down all of the apps that I have been running, and exit the PA Menu app from the tool bar, and then go to dismount (eject) the USB Drive - I get a message that there are still files open on the drive, and I cant eject it.

IS anyone aware of an app or way of telling what files it is thinking of, so I can log a bug report against the particular app in question?

What program should I use to create CDs/DVDs? So that I can put some tracks from one disc to another then do the same with another disc? I have Songbird and InfraRecorder. What should I use?

Hello

Some proxy was blocking direct download from the link on portableapps.com so I went via sort-of a 3rd party (SourceFORGE).

On the 'home-page' for PortableApps on SourceFORGE, in the blurb, I found this;

Download
GIMP Portable BG Window - GIMP Portable Background Window 2.1.3

Instead of

Download
PortableApps - 1.1

(or whatever it is meant to be)
