General Discussion

I find some instructions on how to use some applications quite complicated, and think that adding explicit detailed hypothetical examples to such instructions would be helpful. I see that this suggestion has been posted by other members, of course using different words. Never the less, I find it a good idea to submit the suggestion again.

I have some programs and games that when i start them from the portable launcher it gives me errors. And the problem for this is in the portable launcher because otherwise these programs and games work fine.

How can i troubleshoot problems with the launcher? Do i have to look at the launcher.ini or appinfo.ini or i have to edit the NSIS script, which will be hard for me since i am not a coder? When there is a problem with the launcher what usually is the source of the problem?

I understand this is possible. I am having trouble with the forum search finding anything relevant. Is there a thread that tells me how to configure wine for running portableapps?

How the process of loading the .exe files from PAL launcher differ from the way how windows is loading the .exe files? I am trying to convert some games in portable format but every time i try to use NoCD patch for a game it always gives some error. And if i use the NoCD patch on the installed game it starts the game without problem. Why this is happening?

Hey guys! I was doing some software browsing when I started wondering, "Is there a way to make an alternative desktop that is associated with the PA.com Menu?" In other words, have a desktop that you can make shortcuts from your flash drive to or something like that. Is this possible/ has someone already done this? Thanks!

I am collected (from locale files and website) all the Platform translators since version 1.5 and newer in different language sections: http://pastebin.com/9nQdm0R3. Maybe useful for "Our Team" page?

Update. Would be better if in "Our Team" page use the alphabetically list with a link to languages view.

For some translators are not the forum profile links, impossible to find.
Dont know about Greek translators Yannis Papatzikos, Nik A and Portuguese translator Ricardo Moreira.

PortableApps does a good job with updating their portable versions to the latest available but sometimes things fall through the cracks.

For example, when I run CintaNotes, FileZilla, and FreeFileSync, they are all telling me that there are new versions available currently and that I should download these.

I was wondering if there was an effective and polite way to let the people at PortableApps.com know that there is a new version of a software available as I am sure it's difficult for them to keep an eye out for all updates available to dozens of individual programs.

Do Portable Apps work on Chromebooks? I know that the following work on Chromebooks: mice, keyboards and USB drives work on Chromebooks. But I was really excited when I found Portable Apps, because, I wanted to move away from the Microsoft PC and associated software constraints imposed by MS. I don't want to spend $200-$300 or more on a Chromebook only to find out that PortableApps won't work. I am ready to cut the cord with Microsoft and PC hardware.

Is it possible to change my Portable Apps username?

I can see lots of other posts asking the same question but there do not seem to be any responses.
