General Discussion

Hi to all PortableApps.com stuff,
and all the user that read this!

I Have a suggestion that maybe you like!
For me, what i am about to suggest is very important and make better
the open source. I could not doing this by my self,
so I am presenting the idea here. maybe you like this and you want to
join my idea!

So I am going to present the problem and then my solution.
The world of open source is cool, and it bring new stuff to the program
and the internet! but, if you want to begin and want to help develop
any project of open source, even the small one it very hard to begin!

After struggling for two days with glitches on the regular FF 12 and 13, I finally gave up and just installed portable FF 13 right onto my C drive and it's working like a charm!

I don't have the platform for now, but when I get it, I'll uninstall this and put it on the platform. The platform didn't seem to work well with the programs installed on the computer, but it works great from my Passport external drive, so I'm using it.

Hi, with school starting again in a couple months, I figured i should start using mostly portable apps again (so i have same programs at school and home)

So i hadn't used the platform in awhile, and when i got it this time, I saw it had a way to get the apps through the platform rather than downloading and installing each one seperately. I selected all the ones i wanted and let it do it's thing.

As stated I am a total beginner to all this, can apps be put on my htc desire z, and motorola xoom?

I am looking for a simple spreadsheet, database and wordprocessor. They are both android machines.

Thanks in advance.

I know, probably a stupid question, but I work at a job that requires me to use either FF 12 or 13, and I'm having a very hard time with them. The Portable FF13 works great. I installed it onto my desktop, and it was working fine until I uninstalled the original FF13, then it just disappeared from the list of apps. I tried reinstalling it, and it said it reinstalled, but it isn't there.

When I use a portable app with a USB drive on someones computer and complete whatever I was doing and remove the drive, is anything left behind that will either change the host computer or identify my usage.

I was always a U3 user and part time portable app user. U3 programs left nothing behind on the host computer but portable not only left things behind but also changed things on the host computer.

In the table of languages I have searched after an appropriate LocalName for the Bosnian language. But I can't find such a LocalName. On Wikipedia I found out, that the Bosnian language is related with the Croatian or Serbian language. Personally I have decided, that I can use for the Bosnian language the LocalName "Serbian" or "Croatian". What do you think?

PortableApps distributed installer is on the PE header that indicates the possible relocation, but the actually relocation information is invalid, an "Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" error occurs in the following situations:

Portableapps.com is beautiful site and effort to creating portable apps.

Having the splash screen is a little waste of time in the app loading and unnecessary. We all know how good portableapps.com is and there's no need for further advertising. It is known in its own right. So please disable it.

When I run the paf.exe file it either installs or upgrades. When it upgrades, it deletes some files also. It is great that paf.exe file takes care of upgrade intelligently (presumably without loosing old settings and any new settings that were not present in old version, will nicely get merged etc when we start using the app).

It would be useful to see a log of the installation/upgrade process (especially upgrade of course). Presently when I click "show details" it shows deleting.., extracting..., etc but these are lost the moment installation/upgrade is done.
