so if i use PortableApps.com Platform to update for example my opera
will i lose all settings like sites on which im logged in ?
or skin i selected or options in opera i turned on or off ?

or program will just update and all settings and modifications i made will still be there ?

and will that work for chrome and firefox too ?

or skype ?

so after skype updates via PortableApps.com Platform i will need to log in again and again change options to my needs or will it all be like before update ?

As today is "I love Free Software" - Day, I wanted to say a big
"Thank You"
to all the developers here, especially to the founder, lead dev and hopefully recovering John T. Haller!
Although mobile apps, smartphones and tablets are booming tremendously, the last years have seen a steady increase in users who rely on portable apps every day.(at least thats what I read into the mounting download numbers and increasing load on this site ;))

Has anyone created a connector to link a flash drive to an iPad?
and if so what types of apps are needed for support and available?

Is there a poprtable app or a way to change the folder colour?

John do blog more - even if just about your life - it's been nearly 1/4 year since we saw a post if I read aright.

I was fishing around for any ETA on v12b3 or life status.

Is Photofiltre 7.1.1 truly portable now ( in that it does not leave ANY registry entries)?

thank you

Hi guys!
First of all: Enjoy deleting this post I do not mind. And I still thank you for the work you made.

When I saw Portable APPs manager first I told myself: WOW! After using it I found AWKWARD behaviours, features and points which could be improved. I mean improved with small effort with big result value.

AWKWARD THINGS:

How can I let the apps automatically update without to have to confirm anything. So, e.g. when PortApps starts or after a special time it automatically shall look for updates and update all apps automatically.

How could I avoid these captchas on this forum? And why do members have to fill out captchas here?

Hi all,

Just installed PortableApps on my USB-stick. It looks good!

There are some things i couldn't find so quickly, only old topics or it's not clear for me.

• Is it easy to add own portable but paid software? I use the Pro-version of NoteCase and i like to integrate it.
• Can i easily ad a shortcut to the startmenu?
• Is there a searchbar available for the startmenu like the windows-startmenu?
• And, last but not least, how can i quickly register portable programs on a computer?

Hi,

I will copy /Data folder from my USB drive (E:\) to another local drive(F:\).

Is there any problem if I copy them with this command (example with Listary):

xcopy "E:\PortableApps\FILES\BACKUP DATA\ListaryPortable\Data" "F:\PortableApps\PortableApps\ListaryPortable\Data" /S /E /I /Q /H /K

Someone told me that I should use /O /X parameters which are:

/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/X Copies file audit settings (implies /O).
