Sorry, don't know a better place to put this.

The link to the PA.c Installer on the main development page should probably have the version number removed, as it points to a permalink page, and in any case, is 5 versions behind.

Hello,
I'm am new to the Portable Apps (aka PA) community and I'm looking at the possibilities of the platform.
I wonder if the following usage of the PA is possible ans meaningful.

If I install the PA applications on a USB-stick and I copy the whole PA-directory to a drive of an (not trusted) PC can I use all the installed applications?
I think that will be possible. Or am I wrong?

If I used the PA in that way and I'm done with that (untrusted PC) and I delete that whole PA-directory. Is everything really gone from that PC?

In research that has important findings for banks, businesses and security buffs everywhere, scientists have found that computer files stored on solid state drives are sometimes impossible to delete using traditional disk-erasure techniques.

Every time I start the program the language has reverted, I go to change it but the next time it has reverted again.

Isn't this information saved?

Lately, more and more people are asking about donations. This is a good thing, but I think the donation page should be linked to better. Maybe from the About us page or so.
What do you think?

I know that there are programs you have made for this inquiry but i find this more suitable. What if instead of us having to click the exe program every time we log on to our computers, you guys actually make a installable program that will make a task in the scheduled tasks list so that when we log on or when our computers start up we don't have to do anything besides insert the drive?

Hello,
First, excuse me if I make spelling mistakes. (I'm French and I don't speak very well English).

This is my question : When an Apps is update on Partable Apps, is she automaticaly update on our platform ? If not, how can we know when an Apps is update ? I must check every Apps manualy ? And if this fonction isn't present, it will be present on the next version ?

Thanks.

And if I make spelling mistakes, tell me !

I have to click on Ignore every time I search for program update (Manage apps>check for updates). inetc.dll is on different path in document and setting every time. Typical:
C:\Documents and Settings\...\Temp\nsk6D.tmp\inetc.dll Trojan.Agent
C:\Documents and Settings\...\Temp\nsv70.tmp\inetc.dll Trojan.Agent

Because new path every time I can not set file in ignore list.
Why not use same path every time in portableapps setup directory?

I wanted to bring my online games along with my thumbdrive, like MapleStory. I know they cannot be portablized due to admin power so I've found QEMU Manager, a GUI for QEMU.
The installation of a stripped down windows xp (microxp, yes, i know its illegail but many users use it) took about 30minutes in QEMU Manager while a real computer takes 5minutes.
It is still laggy when i download firefox, like the whole computer is dying. (KQEMU is not activated)

I was noticing some bad behavior with the WinWget program available from the main applications page (https://portableapps.com/apps). After looking at the sourceforge website, it was immediately obvious that no one has been developing the software for the past 5 years. One of the bugs was the same problem I was having and it has been open for a year and a half.
