Was just wondering how to make any edition of PortableApps bootable on a cd/dvd for recovery and backup purposes outside Windows, much like the UBCD?

How do you make exe programs for FREE so I can make my own.

I just spent about an hour working on a code and layout workaround that lets me add the search box back into the theme site-wide, including on pages that are manually cached and served up as straight HTML (which is what was broken in the Drupal 5 upgrade). It'll take 15 minutes or so to get back into the manually cached pages.

Help every one here is all mean and horrble to me!!!

Every time I ask a Qustion they all say horrble things about me!

And Ryan & John are one of the worst f all!

Please tell them off and help me please!!!

I'm unsure if this is suggested before but what about an integral Portable Apps 'registry' file. Something that is usually put in windows registry will be put in PA-Registry file (only when its important for other apps).

For example, a portable python saves in PA-Reg.ini its location so PortableBlender can find and use it as well as other apps that might require Python installed.

Would this be something usefull for SOME applications so they can be aware of eachother a bit? Maybe not so extensive that all apps save all their settings in the PA-Registry to avoid clutter.

The more I think about portable applications, the more I like the idea. I'm not so thrilled about the portability aspect as the ease with one can backup and restore.

Does Anyone Have Any Different Splash Screens That Would Look Nice?

I Would Like To Use A Different Picture.

Anyone Have Any?

One That I Would Like To Change Is The Firefox Splash Picture

Now that Steve, Ryan and Marko are on board and several others will soon be, I'm thinking we need to have some developer profiles in the development or about us section. Just a quick bio. Maybe a headshot. Link to their blog on here (which will be re-introduces soon... finally), Etc. That way, we can be sure folks are getting proper recognition... and it will be handy for folks when applying to university or a job to show experience on a large project like this. Any thoughts on this? Or thoughts on other ways to be sure folks get recognized for their work?

Hey I checked the forums for a solution but couldn't find anything. I was wondering if there was a way that all of the programs running off of the jump drive would close, once I pull the drive out of the computer? I'm asking because I'm using the apps at work, and I want a quick fail safe that I can pull to protect myself.

I've been thinking about how we can make things easier on getting new developers on board, since there's more and more interest. So, what I'm thinking is we'll do a couple things. First, we'll make it easier to host new apps on the SF project. Second, we'll let the release techs be able to post these new apps. At the moment, Ryan and Marko are release techs (in addition to me).
