General Discussion

Hi all,
I have the PortableApps suite and use them travelling. Great stuff.
I'm also a pilot and there's a flight planning application it would be great to have portable. Likewise with a diving application that calculates decompression times, etc. I have a licence & paid-up keys for them.
How can I get them packaged to be portable / who can I ask to see if they can be made portable.
There won't be much demand for them, so I'm willing to pay if its not going to cost an arm & a leg.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
John

Hi to all, im new to this but have been using the Portableapps menu for a long time now, its very very good but I have a question, you see, I saw that it is possible to make categories folders and put things inside those categories, I mean put programs that are similiar inside those categories, the problem is that the little icon of the folfer is not displayed, just have a picture that says ico and nothing else, is there a way I can make it work??

Thanks in advance

I think it's time to create a section "portableapps for admins". Many times we have admin rights on target computer anyway.

There is many nice software which needs because of their task admin rights to work.

Currently every individual needs to convert his needed applications (requiring admin rights) into portables itself or to go to the competitors (portablefreeware.com).

What "portableapps for admins" would be useful?
- well, very similar advantages to standard portable apps
- easy and fast install, just copy
- you can spread your software from computer to computer very easy

1) Does the concept of portable apps exist for Linux in the same way as for Windows? i.e. install once to a folder on host X & then copy that folder however/wherever you like & run on any host Y, Z etc with no install needed on Y, Z etc.?

Thank you John for the first edition of the PortableApps.com Newsletter!
I just discovered it in my mailbox and was truly thrilled.

Congratulations for finally getting it done and out the door. I am really looking forward to all the new releases and the next one.

The company that I work for is looking at giving away ThumbDrives for our end of the year giveaway. We were at a trade show a moth or so back and those seemed a real hit. I was wondering if it were permissible to put the Apps Suite on them. It will be made clear that it was FREE software that came from Portableapps.com and links to the project page.

Our business caters to pilots who use public terminals in numerous airports across the country and this would be very useful for them.
