Another version yet again?? 4 versions in less than a month?

If i wanted to build a torrent of the whole set of portable apps
1 is this considered "legal"
2 do i need to include any kind of "credits" file
3 would anybody like me to post a link to said torrent file??

I use the built in desktop wallpaper switcher on my portableapps drive. Just wondering if there's a way to not switch it for windows 7 machines only, or perhaps just on my home machine.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I was reading on flash encryption that alows use without admin rights.
Is truecrypt with autorun file still the best way to go?

I found this tutorial, but it's pretty old:

If there is a better solution to this please let me know.

Is there a way to have categories on the left side of the Portable App Menu? If you download all the apps, it would be nice to have categories to find what your lookng for

Do anybody know how to fix it?

Thanks,

Hi all, kinda new here and as do all n00bs, I got a couple questions.

1. I made a Star Trek Theme but I am having difficulty getting the custom Icons to work. How do I remedy this?

2. Also, the only way I can get my custom theme to work is to name it Green (or another of the Default themes) and rename Green to GreenOld. How can I get my theme to show up in the theme choices dialog box?

Thanks in advance,
Spann

Hi there, I have a lot of apps in my menu, about 95, many of them util programs I just dumped in there. The new progress bar on the menu is nice, but for me it's still slow even on a fast computer. So I was wondering if you could add an option to disable the auto scanning for programs unless someone installs a new program or clicks on the refresh button.

Hopefully there's an option for this already that I can add to the PortableAppsMenu.ini file?

hy,
has everybody some experience with using protable apps on a file server in a network, where more than one user can use the applications of portable apps on the same time?
the idea behind is that the application will not be loaded on the usb-stick or lockal external hard disk, but on the file server for more users. the problem was that i had a problem with the disk, where i saved the portable apps and so i lost my files as the disk was broken. the same happen bevor with an usb-stick. Untill this problems all worked perfekt, updates too.
