General Discussion

listless - The next time you direct your abusive attitude toward someone on this forum you will receive a one month suspension to your account. You've been warned before and you've chosen to ignore those warnings. I am not a fan of having to police forum conduct, but acting like this toward a developer of a third party app who took the time to join and post in this forum is inexcusable.

I don't know if anyone is keeping up with the gVim thread, but I posted about something that I thought the Release Team should handle (or at least consider). As I posted here, https://portableapps.com/node/15654#comment-126364, I thought the the release team should formalize where the whole Perl\Python\ruby, etc debate.

*Perl*
I'll start with perl as I butcher it quite well. There's two Perl releases in the forums currently:

1. Can I install PortableApps in a folder on my hard drive? Or does it have to be on a portable drive?
2. If yes, would that installation be any different from an installation on a USB dongle, say?
3. What does "Backup" do? Is that a simple .zip file generation/packaging? Or is it more than that?
4. What does "Restore Backup" do? Is that simple unzipping/unpacking? Or is it more than that?

Does anyone know how to block pages through firefox (portable?) or any other browser?

I convinced my (co-volunteer?) to get internet for our (church) school because he had previously taken it out because others were going to bad websites, yada, yada, yada.

I know how to block websites with safari on a mac but I have no clue what web browsers can do so on a PC.

Any ideas?

Just some ideas for the website.

First, I guess, have a section for suggestions.

Mainly, you might want a download feature I've seen elsewhere. Since you have such a long list of tiny downloads, us a sort of "shopping cart" approach and allow a person to download them all at once.

Thanks. Cheers!

any body can learn me how Merge or mix two or three setting.regs in one?( HKCU+HKLM+..to SETTING .REG)

for example.
${registry::SaveKey} "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\App" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\setting1.reg" "" $R0
${registry::SaveKey} "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\App" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\setting2.reg" "" $R0
and...
setting1.reg+setting2.reg+... JUST mix to one SETTING.reg and save to settingdirectory
Thanks

Hey everyone,

I've only been using this program for a few days, and I have been downloading many apps to test, I've found a handful that I'm happy with and will use regularly, but.. I have a list of about 25 programs now, and I don't need the others. I have limited space on my flash drive and I was hoping that there is a way to uninstall items? So I can make it easier for myself to locate what I'm needing.

Thanks in advance,

I am thinking of adopting Ceedo as my preferred 'portable environment'.

Alas, when I downloaded the latest version of Ceedo Personal, everything was fine although I kept getting what looked like an internet access everytime I changed something in the Ceedo Options tab. I thought that strange and the Ceedo forum said it was a known bug that would be fixed in their next release.

alright, dunno much about makin apps honestly, only that everything has to be localized to the drive in referance to the folder, not a drive number or anything... so, my best bet is to ask-

this is about the Nintendo Wii, so fair warning about the potential stupidity of the question ^.^;;

In some forum posts I've seen here, it seems that some people overlook the value of having a portable version of an app that you only run from the hard drive. So far, I haven't run any portable app from a USB stick, only from the hard drive. I prefer portable apps because of

- They don't slow down the computer by insisting on loading on startup.

- They don't contribute to WinRot or Registry Rot.
