General Discussion

Pardon for adding another thread about it, but I was wondering if there's any word on Shareaza being made a portable app?

I know there's an unofficial version (more of a launcher) on the forums, but it requires extra downloads, some assembly & other stuff to make it "Portable Apps Ready".

Just wondering if there's any "Official Beta" available.

Are there any games compatible with PortableApps out there besides the poker and sudoku?

indeed.these days there is many brands.they say its good but what is the best bargain for jumpdrives?either install portable apps or have u3?

Tried to install Suite but installation got hung up at about 25% and would not go further. Installed Lite plus two Apps. Problem is that the close button (x) on menu has no effect. If I try to safely remove drive I get message that drive is in use and can't be closed. Not a good option if I'm using drive on borrowed machine. Do others have this problem?

For about 4 hours, the recent post tracker has trouble loading and sometimes some pages are displayed weired& not in the normal way and color. Just plain black text with blue underlined links.
Anyone else with the same problem or is it my FF copy not having the right css file??
Maybe its some new stuff John put in???

Oh yes, we all know: it's done when it's done. it's gruesome. Almost every hour I'm looking for a new beta or the Pam 1.5. I wish to become more details of the new theme format to rebuild all my themes in sufficient time. Sometimes I thought it's useless to create new themes since. I'm so curious about it.
Please be gracious. My PAM is on top since... I can't remenber. So far it's worn-out and used, I really need a new version. Take a look: my poor PAM.

Hi all,

Amazed by the usefulness of portable applications, I wonder why not to install them as my main applications in my normal desktop PC.

It sounds good to have clean installations that won't mess up the registry nor leave extra data around your disk.

But, on the other hand, I think that there must be some reason to have an application normally installed in you Windows computer.

So, what are the pros and cons of using portable applications instead of normal ones?

Best regards,

Pablo

There is now a button at the bottom of the forums page to "Mark all Forums Read" as well as a button within each forum to "Mark all Topics Read". This should make it much easier for folks to keep track of new posts and such. Please post a note in this topic if you notice any issues with this new functionality.

I have just discovered this amazing PortableApps subject and it could well solve a problem for me. I have two PC's in my home office, plus a dedicated laptop that I use when visiting clients. (The home office runs on LAN.) I use a Seagate 5GB Pocket Drive to quickly move files between the PC's and the laptop, and sometimes to client's PC's. For several reasons, not the least of which is that my home PC's are on the dodgey side (I know, I am going to have to rebuild both of them, and soon!), it would be hugely convenient if I could run Outlook Express from the Pocket Drive.
