General Discussion

I've been using the Portableapps.com products for years and just updated to the 2.0 beta 5 version of the platform. Other than a minor install glitch (McAfee didn't like the installer's filename) it's worked great so far. I've gotten enough use out of the products over the years that I wanted to donate some cash. However my searching of the web site and fora have not uncovered the expected PayPal link. The latest status update indicated significant corporate support was in the offing which is great. Is PortableApps.com is still accepting donations from users?

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, so if this is posted into the wrong section of the forum please tell me. (or @admins: put it in the right place)

Possibly this is already asked but I didn't find anything by searching for "double click". It only pointed me to unrelevant topics, which is quite logic since the words are commonly used into explaining something briefly to a person.

I thought I once saw a small add-on program that allowed better modifications to the PAppMENU...has anyone got a link to it please ?

How can I download all the apps at once?
Is there a package somewhere?

I download the Portable Apps on my main drive and now I icon of my main drive has changed how can I delete this apps and change the image of my main drive to its original state?
Thank you for your time.

I'd like to self-promote, but I don't want to lie ("You can, of course, pretend that you simply "found" your own software").

Why I think I should be allowed to:

I have just purchased a new PC with Windows 7 64 bit, and then tried to start my portableapps programs. To my big surprise this didn´t work and seemingly you have to upgrade for example Thunderbird to run on 7. But what do you do when you have a mix of computers with XP and 7?? A little annoying I must say if this forces me to upgrade my two other PC´s from XP to 7.

Not much fun if I upgrade and start using TB now, and then in a week when I return home, I can´t use my email any longer

Is there something wrong with the RSS news feeds? In Thunderbird I check
and get nothing since August. In Chrome with Slick RSS the same.
If I click on the RSS button on the website it's also the same. No updates.
But there on the main page is a list of new and upgraded packages for
September.
Is it just taking longer to get listed now?

Anyhind, glad to see a slew of updates.

Hi everyone,

I’m quite new to portablizing, but I like the idea—and the PortableApps way of doing it.

Before I make any mistakes, here’s my questions:

I plan to portablize two freeware apps (non-Open Source) that I found useful in the past and think others might like to have portable, too:

1. MELM, a German-language software to check wins in the German state lottery "6 aus 49" (6-of-49). This software is freeware for up to 35 tips but can be registered to allow for more.

...I think it is safe to say I was a fan of PortableApps until the end. Not that I'm not now, but it seems like the project is kinda dead.
