General Discussion

I don't even know if it's possible, but I had an idea that I thought wat pretty cool.

You could make a taskbar, like the windows taskbar, where the PA logo is like the vista start-logo, and when you hit it, it opens up the menu. Now, This is the part I don't know if it's possible, but it you could minimize the applications running from the same drive as the PATaskbar, it could minimize those applications to that taskbar.
It could look like This.

I can't download apps or portableapps from sourceforge.net. the whole site isn't working for me. I have Firefox 3.0.3.

Can anyone help me?

This may be a silly question, but I appear to be able to use all the portable apps on a thumb drive (usb stick) just fine, but I recently got a little (lol, my first hard drive was a huge 10 mb) 60gb usb hard drive. I am especially not able to run Firefox from that drive. Most of the other apps work although I have not done an extensive test (I downloaded Suite Standard). Firefox seems to fail trying to write back to the drive and immediately shuts down. Is this something inherent in Firefox, something peculiar to Portable Apps or something strange on my end.

just wondering if there are any programs than can create a auto-run CD/DVD menu in PA.

I was thinking of creating something like the free computer magazine dvds have. i would prefer not to use a web browser for this but not against it.

Fire away

Just to help people and bring up the subject, and maybe to suggest that it should be written on the support pages for helping portable apps (at least Firefox) run faster, I suggest using a defragmenting program to defragment your thumb drive.

Hey John, do you have a high quality or a large version of the PortableApps Logo?

Can i use/launch the apps without an launcher?

i want to change the names of the apps from "app nameportable" to "app name"
i read this article but i can't figure it out
please help

please tell me, what are the advantages of using Portableaps.com?
why portable is better than non-portable?

sorry for my english

I liked PortableApps.com so much that I decided to spread the word and write about them.

I have also placed some of my favourite portable apps, along with some tips and troubleshooting.

HOWTO: transport your tools with PortableApps.

I would be grateful to receive any feedback on it too.
Among the troubleshooting was things I did to get Windows Vista autorunning content again after VMWare disabled it.
