General Discussion

I would like to know if it is possible to use command line arguments for the launcher (for example FirefoxPortable.exe) of my portable apps. I would like to know this, because I want it the .ini file (for example FirefoxPortable.ini).

I know I could achieve this by just deleting the file. However, I sometimes do need the file, so I was thinking of creating two shortcuts. One that launches the launcher without command line arguments, and one that launches the launcher with command line arguments.

If anyone needs more information to help me, feel free to ask.

This question is mainly towards John.

Is there a reason that all the links here go to the indirect download and mirror selection page, http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/*.paf.exe?download, rather than to the direct redirection to the download (i.e. proper download) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/*.paf.exe?

As I see it, the only advantage to the indirect one is that you get to select a mirror, whereas downloads are a lot easier to start and use with the direct technique (and then you can use the Save as... context menu item).

They have newer stuff than on here. They update VLC, Notepad++, and so many other things way before portableapps.com does. And they have a lot of stuff this site doesn't. Like ConvertXtoDVD, PhotoShop Portable, Dreamweaver Portable, and so many more. Check it out!

Hi all,

Let me start out by saying how much I love portable apps and the freedom it gives me to work mobile. I've been toying with the idea of using portable apps on my computer (Vista) instead of the larger downloads of OO, Firefox and other software I can easily run through PA. The idea is to have a hard drive that is light because of PA and therefore performs much faster, plus I would end up with less digital clutter.

I like your input on this please?

Is my thinking on the right track or not?
Cheers
Monika

Recently on IRC some people have been asking some questions that have been mentioned in the forums (but more of in random replies than anything else). Perhaps a FAQ should be written that covers areas like upgrading, installing and advanced options. Is anyone up to the challenge, to write such a thing?

If I'm not mistaken, this post is several days old, but when I checked it via the tracker, it showed up as a new post, posted yesterday, the 28th. I believe it was made the same day or a day after MarkoMlm's posting. https://portableapps.com/node/18859#comment-117796 HorusofOz should be able to verify this, as it's his post.

Looks like even our method of showing an entry in the AutoPlay window (via Action=) is going to stop working in Windows 7 RC1...
