General Discussion

Dialog box says "utorrent.exe could not be found". I think there is a misnaming; the actual app is called utorrentportable.exe. Renaming it didn't help, though.

I was using the PortableApps.com Updater, when I got errors when downloading the updates: this happened with Opera, Opera (Test), and GIMP. All said "File not found" with the error URL. My guess is that the URL was wrong in the INI.

Please fix it. Thanks!

HTML is probably the most used electronic file on Earth! Every web page is built from the HTML format, and there are trillions of web pages! And of course, the most logical tool in any word creation program is spell check; the ABC’s of any word software program! Now, following this simple logic, you would think that every program that could open and/or edit any HTML file would (naturally) have a spell check function, right? Wrong!

The latest status release is now on John T. Haller's blog here: https://portableapps.com/blogs/johnhaller/2011-02-01_status_update

Greetings all and welcome to a long-overdue PortableApps.com Status Update. It's been way too long since we've sat around and discussed the state of things, so, with some prodding from a couple devs, I thought I'd go over where things are.

New App Releases

As posted in the new PortableApps.com Status Update: "I'd like to finalize a new release team and get working on a way to collaborate and get things moving. The goal will be to have a set group of people who can 'sign off' on apps going from dev test to pre-release to final moving forward. Tools-wise, we can do a custom forum, email list, wiki page, IRC and/or Drupal's issue tracker to ensure that things move forward and don't get left behind."

I had installed acronis (to backup a virtual machine) and monitored it with Regshot.
There is a problem:

The installation created an entry in:

********
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\{C539A15A-3AF9-4c92-B771-50CB78F5C751}]

Name: (Deafult)
Type: REG_SZ
Data: empty
********

this entry adds "Include in Nonstop Backup" to the context menu of \*\ (all files)

Hi All,
Is there a way to track when new applications are added to portableapps.com? I just would like to see the progress of new apps versus an upgrade to an existing one and even the removal of unsupported ones. Don't ask me why... it's just my OCD expressing itself again

Thanks, and as always Good work to John & Team!!!

I'm working on a college course for the Spring Session.

About 150 Students have pre-enrolled. Course tools need to be PA's on a Thumb Drive (Maybe?)...

I want to put the course text as a PDF and all necessary software needed in the course assignments (PA has everything needed) pre-loaded on thumb drives.

If i have two computers and I install the same program on both of them, will the four snapshots be similar (same entries)?
even if there are different OS?

I have the log now I need a program that will delete registry and files changes...
UNDOreg doenst work with it...
