Hi,

I research on site but I could not found any answer. Is there 64 bit support for portableapps or not?

Thank you!

So I started an experiment . . . I am trying to use as many portable apps and as few installed apps on my Win7-64 as possible with all of these portable apps residing in dropbox. That way all of these apps are in the exact same state regardless of which computer I open them up on.

Hi,
I´ve been facing a problem with the Back up utility in Portable Apps, which is it does not complete the task. It starts but at some point, a error message apears and the back up closed itself.
Because I´m not smart enough, I´m unable to create a log to view in what point the problem appears.
Any tips?

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know if there is a portable version of tikz editor (something
like qtikz,ktikz or tikzedt)?
and if so how do i install it?

thanks a lot!

I find it most irksome when a "portable" app is... NOT!

I downloaded "Database Browser" 4.1.0.0 and installed it:
https://portableapps.com/apps/development/database_browser_portable

Subsequently I moved the installed app to another directory only to find encounter a warning that the directory has changed and it might not work which... it didn't!

Developers ought to understand the meaning of the term 'portable' and not label it so if it is not. If this were on a stick/dongle and plugged into another machine with a different drive letter the application would not run.

Please, is there an "official" portable version of MozBackup? One that will back up up both portable and non-portable Firefox, Thunderbird, Lightning? Or does anyone know if it's possible to install the "standard" MozBackup in a portable way - without touching the Registry etc. etc.?

I have Googled quite hard but to no avail; perhaps I just need new spectacles but ...

Is there still just the one IRC channel, or is there more. I've heard there are more than one, but Miranda woun't let me get a full list. If there is more than one, which one is for help developing an app? Thanks..

P.S. I did see portableapps.com/support/chat, and was browsing comments dating back to 2008, but have no idea what is current.

I thought maybe if the menu stayed open while a Clean Up message was displayed it would not be so bad.

Would this be possible or are we limited by NSIS once again.

I posted a Release Test of Simple Port Forwarding (in the wrong forum), und you removed the link stating that it was commercial software and that there was no indication of permission given.

For the second part, I agree that I forgot to include permission. I was cutting and pasting from the development test template, and replacing with my info. There isn't a line for permission, and I forgot all about it (maybe that could get added to the template). I have updated the original post to include permission from the author.
