General Discussion

So I just got done installing portable apps along with some programs. One of which was open office. i noticed that there was an icon for every instance of office (Base, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math and Writer), and it occurred to me that it'd be cool to have customizable folders so you can organize your programs into categories. Then you click on the folder and it expands to reveal the apps stored inside.

How come the picture of the portable applications menu on the home screen of this web site has an eject button on it? The menu I have don't have an eject button.

there is something weird about this pic

can anyone find it

How Can I Tell How An Application Writes Its Data
You Know The Application Data And Etc.....

TYVM

I was downloading an installer, when I noticed that for me it takes forever to delete it. Is it possible to put in the SelfDel Plugin so there's a self deletion checkbox or something? Or will it make things too complex?

Is there any portable or normal windows software that can download multiple links at once.

Free Portable Applications For Flash Drives

Today I bought a Peak III USB Flash Drive and with it came a leaflet which lists some applications for use with Flash drives. The leaflet goes about explaining what portable applications are and..

"PEAK has collected a selection of portable applications and has verified them as safe and useful tools for users."

Software mentioned: PStart, Taango, DeepBurner, SoftPerfect, FoxitReader, PhotoFiltre, XnView, Remora USB Disk Guard...

and our own PortableApps.com apps like:

VLC Portable (5 stars)
OpenOffice Portable (5 stars)

Okay I know we need to support users with any problems they may face with our apps. However our list is growing and it's going to get messy to have a forum for each app. Especially since each apps forum isn't used very often and John's been cranking out the new apps like mad. So instead of having 30 different forums would it be possible to just create one App Support Forum?

I just found this trough PenDriveApps.com

Rohos Mini Drive is a FREE Portable Partition Encryption tool that can be used to create a hidden partition on a USB device that is password protected. The Software doesn’t require Administrator Privileges to open the password protected USB drive partition on a guest computer. It can be run directly from a USB device [...]

PreRelease Malware Testing

I would like to suggest at this point that every app that is going to be released be uploaded to our standard MultiMalware testers:

http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexx.html
http://virusscan.jotti.org/

It just does not make sense to have people posting about Viruses being detected from their AntiMalware products when it could have easily have been checked just prior to release.
I think this just make sense.

Especially with the increasing number of releases we are doing.

Now the hard part

What to do if VirusTotal or Jotti do find something?
