PortableApps Suite ??

Submitted by vishnu81 on November 8, 2012 - 6:13am

One of the best feature i had been using in PortableApps was the Suite which contains all the important apps pre-installed, a 130-150 MB download.
This download i was able to share with people who dont have any kind of access to internet on their systems.
All of them who got to know the Suite were amazed by it.

But now i am not able to find that download, has it been removed ?

Do they store earlier versions?

Hello,

I was wondering if PortableApps stored early version.

For example I go to the "Get Apps" tabs and I scroll down to Skype. When I get on the Skype app page its usually the latest version. (Thanks)

But is there a way for me within that page to see and download an earlier version, portable of course.

Sometimes its really needed.

Best regards,

Hello!

I'm not sure if you can assist me but I'm trying to figure out if there is any logic to determining the new locations of the the version#_chrome_installer.exe on the Google edge download servers.

I keep on eye open over at the http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/ blog and look for new DEV build version releases.

The "Other" category in the utilities section is getting pretty large so I thought why not add a "system utilities" section or somthing the like with system utilities and cleaners:

    AquaSnap Portable (Freeware) - Screen productivity enhancement
    BleachBit Portable - cache, temp file and history cleaner
    Checksum Control Portable - create and verify MD5/SFV checksums
    Command Prompt Portable - Simple link to a customizable command prompt
    Console Portable - console window enhancement
    Disk Cleaner Portable - cache, temp file and history cleaner

Default Data question

Submitted by farat_as on October 27, 2012 - 2:41am

Hi,

This directory: "\App\DefaultData" is changing (overriding) after update the portable app?

I am thinking to copy all files of "\Data" directory to "\App\DefaultData". So If someone will change my app settings, I can bring back my own default (old) settings by removing "\Data" directory? Is that possible?

Thank you!

Help. how to run more that one instance of same portable app

Submitted by davidmaiden18183 on October 25, 2012 - 4:02am

Hi I really need to be able to run two instances of firefox portable, one that is an older version of firefox which I can skin to look like internet explorer, and another that is the latest version which is demand to view some websites.

If I make a copy of the portable and and try and run it again is say one instance is already running.

I have tried renaming .exe's etc to no avail, it still says it is already running with the first instance.

Can anyone advise if its possible to get two instances running and how I might do it.
