Hi,

Whenever there's a new portable release of an application it is announced.
In the announcement there's a section called "New In This Release" that lists the changes from last release. Problem is it refers only to the "portability layer" of the app, not to the original app. Regarding the original app it only states "Updated to the latest version of..." or "Updated to version x.x.x of y".

I suggest to add a link to the "what's new" or "change log" of the original app.

Hello, im having problems with a nsis script im compiling. IM Having trouble with the "VIProductVersion", it always says "Error: invalid VIProductVersion format, should be X.X.X.X
Error - aborting creation process" and i have tried to figure out what is wrong but cant. What do u put in VIProductVersion part, i looked at another NSIS script and it had this in its place VIProductVersion "${Ver}" i put that in and i still get the same error message, also i put in my products version, which is "4.13.5" and i still get the same error message. Any help will be appreciated.

I just wanted to get a little bit of clarification on this before I went ahead and did this.

Since I've made the plunge to Vista, I've been going back and testing some of the older apps I've liked (TunnelVision Portable and WinBoard Portable to name a few).

I would like to add the results of the tests to the original post but at the same time I don't want to start bumping older topics either.

Thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.

Hi all,

I would like what your favorite RSS feeds are.

Recently I read some of you talk about one "on software", seemed cool, but I lost it.

Please share your findings on this media I am not too familiar with (except for the Portable Apps feed )

I was just wondering, since there was a WireShark Portable in PAF on the wireshark website http://www.wireshark.org/download.html that John helped them with I think, why is it not on PortableApps.com?

hey all
first of all i am not sure if this is the place i should put this but i am not sure where it should go so a big thanks got out to the mod that can tell/put this in the right place.

second...
i found a process viewer that will let you quit processes, i am now looking for an open source version. I hav spent about two days on sourceforge searching and could not find anything.
so if someone could help me out that would be great.
reqs:

1) has to be run from the command line

New update here:

Howdy all and welcome to another exciting PortableApps.com Update. I know this is falling a little late in the week, so it's really more of a week summary rather than a what's coming, but at least it's here. And they ran out of punch and pie at the store, so there's cookies and Fresca in the back today.

Updating Current Portable Apps (FINALLY COMPLETED!!)

TrueCrypt is great but lacks an important feature. Mounting to folder instant of drive so it wouldn`t need admin rights.

Is there already another tools which can do this?

I was working on a way to COPY and REMOVE folders in Application Data when I accidentally removed ALL sub folders Application Data while I thought I removed only Application Data\testfolder.

Even my quick launch bar is now gone

Some of NSIS are very sketchy and googling didn't help either. Well I found a 'solution' but that wiped my whole Application Data folder clean. I have no idea how to restore it or what will happen if I reboot...
