General Discussion

I recently downloaded and installed quite a few of the portable applications that were available through portableapps.com. It seemed to go well except for these messages that popped up after every install indicating that the computer was unable to write to the USB drive after the install. Several of the earlier applications that I downloaded do appear in the menu, but most of them don't. The applications seem to work if I execute them directly from the pen drive portable applications folder.

A single EXE file in the directory, run with custom parameters, launched from the PortableApps platform, is that possible?

Based on the recommendation of a friend I have installed before a few hours the Messenger "WhatsApp" on my Android smartphone Samsung Galaxy S III. And I'm really impressed greatly. Although this messenger however has some vulnerabilities, he offers some outstanding features.

So you can directly from the Messenger out perform the following actions:

• Record and send a voice message, a video or a picture
• Choose and send a picture from the internal storage of the smartphone
• Send your own current location

OK I know I turned 50 yesterday which officially makes me old ( so says my daughter) but seems to me over night the font size of the pages here in POrtableApps has changed. Also the left hand panel where the sponsor link is has flipped so that the sponsored link is about the actions panel is now on bottom......So Please tell me I am now not senile?

There is this particular ciber cafe whose PCs are infected. When the portable USB device is plugged in, portableapps.com reports that something has installed an autorun.inf.

The USB device has got 3 partitions. Portableapps is installed on the last, while the virus installs itself on the first. Its autorun.inf has some shell commands and also tries to open an exe which it has also installed in root, trying to delete it only works for a minute, then it's back. And the AVG on the PC also alert it as a worm.

Couldn't .Net framework be portable, if the main files were created as symbolic links pointing to the already installed files on portable?

Maybe not a biggie but I was a bit confused when I installed JKDefrag, only to find a better (and supported) solution in UltraDefrag so could we have a legacy category please for software which is no longer developed?

In the history we have now not the need to be on the website always, but in the little app that runs in my system tray the list grows and grows...

.. so now I crave search.

Please kind and educated developers, can you implement a search box so that if I type "SSH" for example, I see all the potential SSH clients or if I type "putty" I find it straight away?

Cheers and shalom.

I have been using rssowl portable. It currently isn't in PAF which is why i really excited about quiterss.

After having tried it out, I have a couple needs before I could switch to it 100%.

1) RSSOwl has a newspaper view where all the articles are listed in the browser view. i can hide the article list which is good. I just scroll through the articles using the direction arrows on the keyboard but it would be nice to just scroll through all the articles in the browser using the mouse wheel.

2) Google reader sync is also another option as they use this type of view.

What is the best solution to make it portable?

1. To register a program's use of document folders and registry and make a batch, that before launch setup symbolic links and registry additions, so it can be installed on portable device together with its documents
2. Or to use sandboxie portable or not, and install program in a sandbox on portable
