Problems with installing new themes...

Submitted by jd_blue on October 11, 2014 - 8:16pm

Hi,

I created a custom theme but I can't figure out how to install it. I put its folder into the themes folder but it doesn't show up on the menu for me to select it. I did search around the site and the website, but I couldn't find any information on it. I'm using the newest version.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!
J.D.

Chrome Portable does not seem to have registered a class ??

Submitted by avmad on October 10, 2014 - 5:48pm

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I can't find a forum solely devoted to Chrome Portable.

I have Chrome portable configured to be my default browser [on my Windows 8.1 Dell laptop].

My problem is that clicking on certain links does not work correctly. The places this shows up most notably are: 1) links in Outlook and 2) links on the desktop, but the issue shows itself elsewhere as well.

You can see the types of error by going to my flickr album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/julian-smith/sets/72157648629135795/

Can anyone tell me how to solve these annoying issues?

[feature request] PortableApps.com Updater - release notes for apps updates

Submitted by johnny808 on October 10, 2014 - 2:24pm

I am very grateful that there is the PortableApps.com updater to keep all my portable apps up to date.

However, time and time again I ask myself what is new, updated or fixed with the update, or what issue or security flaw is fixed. It would be really terrific if the the PortableApps.com updater could give us small release notes for each app update, kind of like the Apple Software updater does.

PortableApps' HTTPS

Submitted by portport on October 9, 2014 - 4:49pm

"HTTPS" search result have too many false results, not sure if this has ever been discussed yet.

Why doesn't PortableApps support HTTPS yet? Will it add it at some foreseeable point in the future?

Is it consider unnecessary? Or perhaps it the difficulties of adding them.

Searching within the Platform for new apps

Submitted by PortableGood on October 9, 2014 - 1:19pm

Searching for portable apps within the PortableApps website is super simple: you just use the search field.

It would be great if the PortableApps Platform contained a similar search field to search for available apps. Perhaps it could even search for terms within the description of the apps and a list of tags.

PortableApps.com Carbide Drive and Donations

Submitted by caffeine on October 3, 2014 - 5:19pm

Sorry for the possibly off-topic post, but I'm not sure who this question would go to.

Just purchased the 32GB PortableApps.com Carbide Drive. A little pricey, but looks terrific. I'll be in Mexico for a month, so it's pretty much what I needed.

I read that they can be personalized with a laser etching, but I didn't see anywhere that asked me for what I wanted it to be personalized with (I wanted my name).

Anyone order one of these?

How do I let the order taker know what I want the etching to be?
