General Discussion

it's great that themes are now officially supported, but i would
like for the developer(s) to a a Themes page with a
link to it along the silver bar at the top of the page

As many of you know, we're starting to allow 3rd party open source and freeware publishers to package in PortableApps.com Format and will soon allow commercial publishers to do the same. The goal being to make as wide an array of software available on our open source / free / open platform as possible so that we'll never have to worry about a vendor-locked portable platform again. This does raise the question, though, of how to list this new software and distinguish it in the applications directory. So, I've created a poll:

Hello everyone ,

I want to ask the PA team which kind of applications are allowed to included to portable apps. At the moment I develop on an advance wars dual strike rebuild.

The program itself is written in Java and I saw in the last months the portable Java has grown a lot in portability.
I want to publish the full playable beta soon and this program is fully portable.
Furthermore I'm a big fan of portable apps ( all my programs are from portable apps ).

I think this article shows exactly why people should go with portable apps over some "other" software.

It is a must read.

Hi everyone.

Congrats on prizes at Sourceforge, totally deserve it.

I'm trying to run JKDefrag on a computer in my university library and it continually pops up a box asking me to login as administrator. And of course I don't have the password.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get JKDefrag to run with minimum permissions? (isn't it a requirement of PortableApps...)

If not it doesn't mean I don't want PortableApps to support it, 'cause it's still an awesome app.

BTW isn't there a JKDefrag Portable support forum? Couldn't find one.

Today I noticed the new "bookmark this" - button. Its significantly larger than before, too big for my understanding. What do you think?

Dear Developers,

I use a 8GB USB Drive FAT32. Because I was planning to store tempory Virtual Machines on it that are lager than 4 GB my USB drive can't store theme because FAT32 can't use file lager than 4GB. If I Convert my USB Drive to NTFS will it harm my Portable Apps and Portable Suite??
