General Discussion

I have downloaded the portable Skype online installer file "SkypePortable_4.2.0.169_online.paf.exe" from here. After double clicking it, choosing the language etc. the download starts, but stops after some time (trying since yesterday) showing a message: "The installer couldn't download Skype..." Each time there are downloaded about 8 kb to 200 kb.

How / where can I download the portable Skype?

Hello to all! This is a series of discussions I've had with some people concerning things like, the legalities of LAME, legal questions concerning free media software having support for patented formats, details concerning distribution of media files, etc. If anyone has more info on this subject, please put it here!

NOTE: In the discussions I've posted here, some details have been trimmed (like names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.) Everything that is essential to this issue is here.

Another version yet again?? 4 versions in less than a month?

If i wanted to build a torrent of the whole set of portable apps
1 is this considered "legal"
2 do i need to include any kind of "credits" file
3 would anybody like me to post a link to said torrent file??

I use the built in desktop wallpaper switcher on my portableapps drive. Just wondering if there's a way to not switch it for windows 7 machines only, or perhaps just on my home machine.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Is there a way to have categories on the left side of the Portable App Menu? If you download all the apps, it would be nice to have categories to find what your lookng for

Do anybody know how to fix it?

Hi all, kinda new here and as do all n00bs, I got a couple questions.

1. I made a Star Trek Theme but I am having difficulty getting the custom Icons to work. How do I remedy this?

2. Also, the only way I can get my custom theme to work is to name it Green (or another of the Default themes) and rename Green to GreenOld. How can I get my theme to show up in the theme choices dialog box?

Thanks in advance,
Spann
