General Discussion

The next PA.c (Status) Update will be posted tomorrow afternoon NYC time. I'm finishing up a couple things to include.

That's the number of apps I counted in the directory. If we continue these 1-app-per-day releases, we should have 491 before new years!

Just thought that would interest someone...

Hi,

I must say my knowledge is quite limited and I apologise if the answer to this question is obvious, but I don't understand why some applications such as VirtuaWin or Notepad++, which are already portable, are packaged into portableapps.

Actually I never understood why programs need to be "installed" - perhaps it is needed for non-free softwares (to avoid the software being easily replicated on another computer), but why do most open source softwares also need to be installed?

Hello,

The new patch of Win :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=96ca61f6-8b1...

Can I restore this feature or is there another solution ?

Thanks,

You guys may have some suggestions.

I'd like to be able to go to a 3rd party computer (internet cafe etc) and convert a downloaded (avi, flv etc.) file to my usb and then convert the file to a file compatible with a DVD player.
In VLC I see you can convert a number of files to 'Div3'. (It doesn't seem to be an executable file on my netbook(which is fine) but I'd like to know if converting to Div3 is usally a good bet for using on a portable DVD player.

When I listen a song at an on demand webservice (for example at http://www.deezer.com), I can`t find the directory where this song is saved. I use Firefox Portable at my local machine and in the preferences the offline cache is by default 0 MB. Neither in FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\OfflineCache nor in the Temp directory of my local machine I find anything. But where is the song saved in the moment when I listen it?

hi

thank you very much for all that great stuff you give to us, but could you please maintain the version history of all these apps? most (or all?) are old and outdated. i'm very interested in version history to see all the changes made. especially those made on the revisions, like at least on clam antivirus and 7-zip.

thank you!

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it can be implemented in order so you can quickly get to the first and last pages?

Thanks

I'd like there to be buttons in relation to the scrolled area of the menu that switch between programs, and "available" applications, that is the menu has a web component that resembles the front page news.

All the best guys

I noticed the home page main module (if thats what it's called) is shifted to the right. The top banner and navigation bar are all lined up nicely. The module I'm referring to has the PortableApps Menu and news. The entire thing needs to moved to the left just slightly. Even the Firefox Icon link and RSS icon at the very bottom all line up with the top.

I'm using Google Chrome Beta.
