General Discussion

After I copy a URL in the clipboard, the appropriate issues are in the main window of DamnVid. If I now click on the button "Let's go!", in the column "status" now stand the words "In progress...". But the Download don't start!!! Please give me a tip.

Best regards

I have noticed a slow deterioration in file downloading.

I used to be able to simply click on files, then sourceforge would open and the file would begin downloading.

But those were the good ol' days... because now, sourceforge never downloads any files and it's a real struggle to get anything happening, and I eventually have to give up and not able to download any files.

What's happened? Maybe you need to store your files elsewhere because you linking your files with sourceforge causes some obvious problems!

I've seen a couple of people asking for a separate Support sub-forum for whatever app it is they are wanting one for, and usually the answer is that it is not going to happen otherwise we would end up with eleventy-billion Support sub-forums, which I completely agree is a bad idea.

However, I also think having sub-forums for 20 different apps and one for everything else is almost as bad.

So here is the suggestion: We have the apps currently sorted into categories: Accessibility, Development, Education, Games etc. so why don't we have the support sub-forums separated the same?

I am a first-time poster here. I have used portable apps for quite a while, and I increasingly use them on my desktop machine, to avoid dealing with the hassles of uninstalling or conflicts with other software. I am always on the lookout for great new portable apps. The Portableapps.com web site is a real gold mine.

Hey, is there a Voice Chat or sound Comm of some sort that can connect to more than one, a few ot most other IM'sor Chat or sound comms, rather than absolutely having to have the same program like skype, or same messenger to talk ?. Like Pidgin can connect to several IM's...AND Or what's the most popular thing going for Voice chats ? skype ?

doesn't matter wich portable app i want to start. Theres alway a message from the program in the right edge of the desktop and it seems to start. but then theres just a windows message which says that the programm doesn't work! this happens with EVERY program i tried and i tried a lot!!

i hope some of you can help me.

What is the best format for a USB flash drive?

ntfs, fat16, fat 32, exfat? (sorry linux, the world is not formatted to accept you just yet, but hopefully soon)

Also does file allocation size have an impact?
Is one format better for smaller drives (

In the beginning, PortableApps all had SettingsDirectory setting that allowed you to move the Data directory for each portable app. Lately I have had to recompile some NSIS scripts to have them read that settings from the .ini files.

With the 2.0 scripts, the ability to customize the Data directory location seems to have been removed altogether. Is that correct?

If not, how do I customize the location of the Data directory via .ini files?

I'm new on these PortableApps.com Forums. I barely joined yesterday.
I already mentioned this issue over at the Support Forums, but haven't seen any response. I don't know if it hasn't been seen over there by those who are best able to look into and fix the problem.

I tried 3 times yesterday to download Opera 10.62 Rev 2 and on all 3 attempts, I encountered an error at around the 300 plus KBytes range of the download. I wound up having to download OperaUSB 10.62 over at the source that Opera recommends.

I'd rather use the PortableApps.com version as it makes installation easier.
