2017, better morals, please

I have been found unpleasant because I have used words that foolish people consider swearwords, I have mentioned body parts of men and women, I consider them ordinary, wikipedia knows about them, only very narrow minded people consider them rude.

What I have *not* done is present adverts to people that are illegal to posses.

JTH, and everyone, do you have any idea where the difference rates in legal terms?

If I show you an illegal image I expect to be punished, possibly to go to jail.

Password Protect Portable Apps

Submitted by mattig89ch on December 20, 2016 - 8:47pm

Hidy ho all,

I wanted to know if there was a way to encrypt the portable apps folders. And only allow a user to access programs and files via the portable apps launcher. And finally, if you could have it so when you launched portable apps, it wouldn't work without a password entry.

Just a little extra security, should you lose your flash drive.

Select SourceForge Mirror for Downloading

Submitted by Drazick on December 14, 2016 - 6:09am

Hello,

I have some access issues to some of SourceForge mirrors.
It turned out that the default one is blocked on my network.

My question / suggestion is, can one make the PoartableApps manager to download using specific mirrors?
As things now I can't update (At least not automatically) my programs.

Thank You.

Running Portable Apps without the Launcher UI

Submitted by PortableGood on December 10, 2016 - 5:49am

The following works great: Running the Portable Apps launcher, and then selecting a specific portable app to run.

I'm wondering if it is equally as easy to run Portable Apps without the launcher UI.

Here are my questions:

1. Is it possible to run a Portable App (and keep it portable) without having the Portable Apps launcher UI running? For example, to run portable app ABC, can you just run ABCPortable.exe (where "ABCPortable.exe" is any of the Portable Apps available through the PortableApps launcher)?
