General Discussion

Ok, kids. It was a fun ride, but the whole dueling ASCII art thing has to end now. There are comment threads that are supposed to be about something in particular but wind up being about 75% silly pictures of cats and bunnies. The forums are supposed to be USEFUL and this severely hinders that usefulness.

Dear John,

since the traffic in your forum seems to be growing and growing it might be due to re-design it a bit, no? Please think about some changes.

There are three things which make the use of this forum a severe inconvenience, especially because of the need to scroll almost indefinitely:

1. The "Last post"-section lacks a button behind the name of the last poster which actually leads to the last post of each thread directly.

2. The number of posts on each page of a thread is way to large, which causes one to scroll and scroll and scroll...

I am making a Portable apps site and if you guys can give me some sites that have to do with portable apps whether it be downloads or information about them. Obviosly I am going to put PortableApps.com but others would really help me.

Im looking for a batch file, or app of some sort, that will kill apps (that may prevent the safe removal of a drive) and then perform the safe removal of the drive. So that i can click one thing, then yank out the drive.

I have just installed PAC on a Maxtor Mini One Touch III - 100 gig. I have it plugged directly into an HP NW8440 w/ 2 gigs RAM running Windows XP Pro Build 2600 xpsp SP2. I have disabled the on board touch pad because I have a Logitech MX500 mouse and Summagraphics SummaSketch III tablet pluged into it. The mouse (USB) & tablet (RS232) are plugged into an HP Port Replicator. When I start the PAC menu I can usually load one program without any problems. After that ever time I load a program the mouse will just stop working.

Okay. This probably is redundant. I want my portable apps menu to be invisiable. The magic color that does this in the computer (HTML code) comes to FFOOFF.

The problem is that when I convert the bitmap (which keeps the color correct) to a jpg, it looses the color code changing it FFOOFE. That one letter makes a heck of a lot of difference (just to the computer), giving me a magenta background.

Yes, I searched. Unfortunately, there was too much to sort through.

John, will you consider making the newer launchers available separately, even if only on the SF pages?

I have no clue how to save all my Apps (email, Gaim, etc)? When I close the program and re-open it at a later time I have to re-enter all my info again. Should it auto save or do I have to do it manually? Cheers

U3 offers a program called wallpaper swapper. It loads bmp files as wallpaper as long as your U3 is plugged in. Is there a way to do this with portable apps?

I just purchased a SanDisk Micro drive with U3. I rather use portable apps but I need to know that my drive is secure. I do like the fact that U3 has a security feature but rather use portable apps. Is Truecrypt the solution? Also, I purchased a disk which is 4 gigs. Should I create the volume to be 4 gigs and secure my whole drive?
