Suite neither installed nor used.
I wish to have launchers of all my portable apps
to be collected in one place on the pen-drive.
E.g. in a dedicated folder.

Windows shortcuts don't work, they need absolute paths.
How would be the procedure for creating these launchers?

I'm looking for a RAM disk tool that can work in command lines so it can be integrated into PortableApps. I think it's the last piece of my Apache performance boost puzzle.

I've been trying to increase the performance of Apache within xampplite installed on my usb drive.

Hi all

The new PortableApps.com Installer and Format has been released:
https://portableapps.com/development/portableapps.com_format
https://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_installer

I've been making a lot of progress on finalizing PortableApps.com Format and the PortableApps.com Installer for generalized use. As discussed previously, the installer is switching to an INI-based configuration so that publishers and devs won't need to write any code to get an installer.

Here's what the appinfo.ini file will be looking like:

First off:

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. I've recently purchased a Kingston Hyperx (got a great deal on eBay, 30 bucks for the 8gig). They are pretty expensive in Canada. I was really interested in a U3 drive and had my heart set on one, until I discovered that the entire project was in the process of being scrapped. But then I found this site and it was all good, same usability on a much faster USB drive.

Hi,

I'm a newbie to portableApps. What I want is to change the default location of documents folder to media.

Is there any solution for this?

John,

Logout of the site and log in again.
You/I are/am taken to your/my user page, this was not what happened before.
Is this a bug as a result of the update, or is this intentional?

Tested in user and moderator accounts.
Thanks to ptmb for reporting

I am running The portableapps version of notepad++ from my USB stick, but it is writing outside of the portableapps folder and outside the USB stick and writing to C:.

Good way to confirm this is to use Online Armour Firewall which detects it.

I just opened a text file using Notepad++ again, and OA says this:

"The program ns328A.tmp wants to run" Located: "C:\users\atom\AppData\Local\Temp\nsz8CB.tmp\"

Everytime I close notepad++ portableapps, it wants to run a .tmp file from within the C:\users\atom\AppData\ folder.
