Tags?

What about main post tags?

I think that might help with come of the search issues. Many people try to search, but come up empty because they do not know exactly what to search for.

Example: ImgBurner Generic Portable v1.5. Description might say something like this. A portable version of ImgBurner Generic 1.5. This program can manage your cd or dvd burning tasks.

(Tags): ImgBurner dvd cd burn burner cdwriter dvdwriter dvdrw cdrw cdr dvdr copy clone.

How to manually assign visible executables PotableApps Launcher

I am using MplayerUI as a portable media player (less CPU intensive then VLC). My problem: In the launcher both MPUI.exe and mplayer.exe are displayed and I need only one. How can I bypass PA's automatic filling of the menu with executables? I was thinking of links/bats. Any ideas?

Similarly I get 4 exe's from Pain.net portable (found it on some french site) and Totalcommander (which I've noticed keeps only it's directory shortcuts on the machine, the rest works just fine).

Forum Avatars Test

I've just enabled forum avatars to test them out. They're small 16x16 icons (similar to those that appear on Digg-style sites in comments) and limited to 2K to keep bandwidth down (as long as you optimize when saving from any image program, it'll be fine). You can upload your own by going to your My Account page. They'll appear within any forum posts you make and any comments.

Oh, and you made need to reload a page to get the new CSS file that makes them show up properly.

Please give it a try and post any thoughts.

Regards,
John

Can I use all my portable applications from a CD instead of a USB Flash Drive?

Can I use all my portable applications from a CD instead of a USB Flash Drive and by all I mean all the applications listed on the applications section on portableapps website, the only two portable apps that I wont be using is XAMPP and Mac-on-Stick, as for the rest I want to use it on a CD instead of a Pen Drive and one more thing how would it be different from PortableApps on a Pen Drive since I would be using a CD-R and it will only write once so I wont be able to save documents and stuff?

Search Box Is Back

I just spent about an hour working on a code and layout workaround that lets me add the search box back into the theme site-wide, including on pages that are manually cached and served up as straight HTML (which is what was broken in the Drupal 5 upgrade). It'll take 15 minutes or so to get back into the manually cached pages.
