Here's the deal. When MV2 player is installed in the root directory of the drive it works fine. But since I wanted to get to it through the portable apps start menu I dragged and dropped it into the portable apps folder. (The whole MV2 player folder not just the exe). Ok so it works now but the .ini & custom settings revert to default. Next step was to copy the .ini file from my C programs directory installed copy of MV2Player to the USB drive. That didn't fix anything and I checked the ini file in the USB drive and it had my custom settings and skins.

I just made my first portable app (SHWEET!!! ) but the actual app is shareware. I was wondering if I could just post the launcher and the launcher's source and then just include a link to the app in the readme file (or on the post).
I have seen a bunch of posts about this but none of them were clear enough for me to distinguish this. Thank you for any help.

Hi,

I just came back from an extented stay overseas. I went with a couple of usb sticks and without my laptop. I, of course installed the necessary portable apps (firefox, thunderbird, sunbird). I am going back overseas and bringing my laptop as well as my usb sticks.

I am trying to determine if there is any disadvantage if I install the portable version (instead of the regular version) on my laptop to keep my apps more easily in sych between the laptop and usb? I may still need to use my usb drives when I go to certain countries without my laptop.

Thanks

What operating systems is this program compatible with?
Windows 2000?
Windows XP?
Windows Vista?
etc?

My question is simple...
How can I add a working directory with the exec command?

I popped in my flash drive after not messing with it in a while, i usually use my other one, and for some reason the portable apps suite wont start up so i went into the directory folder but its empty and so is the document folder, if i click on properties it shows it as being 0 kb, while if i do the properties of the USB its the same size as it was before. I am able to see hidden folders as well as system ones but the folders remain empty. I have no clue as what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi I use more Linux than Windows but in Linux I couldn't find a good FTP Client. I use PortableApps in my Pen Drive and one day (today :p) I started using FileZilla Portable on Linux with Wine. It works greats.

Just wanted to thanks.

Sorry for my bad english. Greetings, iaN-.

Hi Guys

Ive just noticed that theres seems to be something up with Drupal's timestamps here. If you look at the times in the posts on the thread below:

https://portableapps.com/node/4779

You'll see that they go from January 18th 07 to August 31st 07 and back to February 9th 07. Since timestamps are normally derived from the environment (server/OS) that the App/Site is running on am guessing that there must be something wrong server side or is there a glitch in drupal I'm not aware of? Has anyone else spotted this yet?

What is the best method for adding shortcuts to the menu to access other apps on the drive?

Just a general question which I am sure has been raised before. one of the main reasons I like the portable appliances so much is the fact that I can continue to use the same applications that I use at home on my linux box while at work and forced to use windows. the drawback being mainly, firefox, the data I collect on my usb drive such as fav's/contacts in thunderbird etc, cant be tranfered to my linux machine, or can they be. to be able to run on both OS's would be best but just to be able to move favs from thunderbird would be useful
