General Discussion

John and all,

I really love PortableApps, and my dream would be to have the same little usb key working on windows, linux and mac os. I ran into http://openlina.org and it seems to me that this project makes that dream achievable. I could, of course, do my own open source project to merge the 2 concepts (PortableApps + OpenLina) but it would make much more sense that it comes from PortableApps.com.

Any thoughts?

Hi all

I'm trying to get the Smithtech applauncher util to work on my sandisk u3 drive.

I've successfully replaced the u3 partition with the custom iso that i downloaded from the smithtech website.

I also added truecrypt and its related files to the iso file using UltraISO so that it would keep my storage area clean.

when i try to add truecrypt as a startup option, clicking either the "save settings" or the "apply all" button gives me the following error:


Run-time error '-2147024891 (80070005)':

Access is denied.


U3 really doesn't work! At first I tried to use my dad's, but then it said it doesn't work on Vista! Then I got a newer one for my birthday, and OpenOffice for U3 (Which by the way they got from John T. Halley) said soffice.exe wasn't working! I'm removing it at this very moment.

What do you think about portable applications update manager? It would give options to update your usb software, check current and latest version. I think this is good idea.

Basically, is there a way to install DSL onto a flash drive so that you can use it as a bootable disc in addition to being able to navigate to the .bat file and running it from there?

running windows mobile ?

(These suggestion(s) might have already been discussed before.)

I realize this can effectively be done by using the any of the existing suites and then installing whatever is missing, but:
How about creating a "full"/"ultra" suite, which includes all of the PortableApps?
This might be fast and convenient for those who have portable drives with greater storage than 512 MiB.

Hello all.

I'm new to Portable Apps and have just come across some nice themes that people have created.

How do I use them?

Sorry if this is blatantly obvious, but I can't figure it out.

Cheers.

    
I've developed a small tool to make portable application with delphi program language,now put it here with all source.
    
You can extract the TestPortable dir to your usb disk PortableApps dir (if you installed PortbleApps,you will find it easily),now restart your StartPortableApps.exe,you will find the new app in your PortableApps menu.
