General Discussion

If I were to make a "suite" or something, I don't know, could I redistribute the launcher from here, but remove firefox, and make the installer download firefox (the original) from the web and extract it to the folder. Or, if I can't do that, can I just make an installer download the whole firefox portable installer and just make it extract that?

I am new to this forum and to the subject at hand. Please excuse my basic understanding of the deployment of a portable app vs. an OS.

1. Can you have both a linux OS and portable apps on a USB?
2. Can a USB be partitioned to carry both an OS and portable apps and able to boot or access one or the other?

As a traveler, I sometimes do not have access to a pc where I have admin rights to run an OS, i.e. linux w/apps installed that boots USB at startup. Would portable apps solve this problem?

I just noticed the new badges and wanted to share my thoughts about them:

I think they are good because they distinguish between Admins and normal users. So people know a little bit about the rank/reputation/knowledge of the person responding to their posts. Other forums have that too where you earn stars or something depending on your number of posts and I like it.

How about the 2.0.2 upgrade installer...Has it come out yet?

Hey guys,

When testing apps, please manually pair down your regshots to just the pertinent information before posting. If you need to post a large regshot, please pastebin.com it and link to it rather than enclosing it in PRE tags. This huge regshot caused our site search indexer to hang. The bug has been reported, but it makes sense to avoid these huge posts anyway.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I just want to know if this program is already considered portable as long as I use the JAVA portable to run it.

I've downloaded the JAR file and it seems to install in a "contained" directory.

Link of the program is as below:

Any advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks

When firing it up on a new machine I get a message about reading empty registry entries. - working on win 7

I left my usb at home @ work I can only use IE which I don't like using,instead I download the portable version of FF from here and installed it, apart from the folder where it is installed is it possible that information can be and found elsewhere?And just to be on the safe side I configured it to autostarts privatebrowsing each time I start the browser.

Is it possible to configure or create Portable Apps in such a way that it would provide more security by only allowing a program to operate within the limits of a defined file system. Ie portable apps would create a cage around its self and applications so even if they are malicoius they can not get outside the cage either to read confidential information or to spread viruses etc? This would allow users to run the software they need but also keeping the IT people happy.

Please excuse me if I am in the wrong forum or if this is just a terribly noobish question.
I dl'd photshop CS5 expanded version, with the repousse options, and additional plugins.
The program dl'd succesfully, but am having some trouble accessing the repousse options. Succumbs to graphic card errors. I have checked the settings: Edit/prefferences/performance, and the "open GL Drawing claims to be on and video card detected.
