Hi,

i think a warnining label in the portableapps menue if the backup is not up to date (so in the directory of the backup are not a backup newer as x days) would be good for people, who forgot often to make a backup.

of course should be able to deactivate the warning.

is that posible?

One of the most interesting projects here to us is probably the Skype replacement "Ekiga", no windows support yet though. There is much talk on the forums with regards to a skype replacement, i'd like to see one too.

There's lots of projects on this list, some we can use, some we cannot, however we can offer our support to them all.

Dig deep folks.

Does anyone know of any Xbox emulators that are both open source and portable?

Help would be appreciated.

Jeez just then I had a look at the bottom of the page and saw there were 25 registered users online and 1897 guests. Any ideas how to get these people to register without putting up nags?

i would like to report a cool little thing i found wich adds a drive under my computer

labeled: gmail drive

it allows you to connect and store files on your gmail account.
what is so good about this is it is over 7 gigs worth of storage and if somthing happens to your computer you can go to another computer and still have all your data.

Okay,

Jumping straight to the point, IMHO the request apps forum is in dire need of some reforms. To be honest, it's really getting on my nerves to see a request for Adobe Photoshop every time I look in there, to the point I've been avoiding that forum. There's already been around five requests for Photoshop, yet even more for other commercial, closed programs.

Is anybody interested in playing online games like Nexuiz or others as their ported (Logan Portable doing a lot of work in this area) with or against other portableapps users?

Is there the potential to introduce a new feature to the site, which would enable a site user to see at a glance a selectable list of all the PortableApps they have downloaded (and are presumably using) alongside that portableapp's most recent version number.

Something similar to the current "What's New" section on the homepage, but coded to display and update on either the homepage only (as "What's New" currently does) or for any site/forum page visited.

Alright, I wasn't too sure if this was the right forum or not, but here goes. I want to run Reason (a music making program) solely on my flash drive at College, but the problem is, when the .exe runs, it tries to store files on the computer, but this isn't allowed since you have to be the administrator and all. I was wondering if there was a way for me to get around this? I guess the only thing I really have to do is redirect where the .exe is trying to run and have it run off of my flash drive, but I have no clue how to do that...

I saw an old blog asking if portableappz.com was illeagal because it might have TM infringement and i saw that other people thought that it might carry viruses/spyware. So yeah, my virus-detector found out that it does carry viruses. don't go to it...
