General Discussion

Learning today that Sourceforge has been sold, I thought if that affected their day-to-day work and thus the hosting for us. I think it wont, but I wanted to bring it up here nontheless.

Hey gang. We're debating between doing a longer beta for 11.0 and including all the features we want to or splitting it between an 11.0 and a 12.0 for about the same timeframe to get 1/2 the features out to 'stable' users faster. We're talking about integrated file associations instead of needing an add-on, retention of app installers, customization of platform folders, new automation functionality, search enhancements, speed improvements/app caching, proxy support, app store searching, etc.

Hi, I use portable version of Notepad++. It has "Data" folder which has "Settings" subfolder and which has "plugins" subfolder.
I code in AutoHotkey scripting language, so I use a modified lexer to support AutoHotkey's syntax.
Here is the archive: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3y3wdlkzr2mgpg/AHKExternalLexer-Current.zip?dl=1 with the plugin that should add support of external lexers. If I put this archive's contents to the "settings" folder (so "plugin" folders get merged) - the plugin doesn't get installed.
Why?

Does Notepad++ portable support profiles like Firefox portable does?

I found a usb key that i used John's awesome Portable Firefox on years ago. I had a master password set. I notice that when I first start up Firefox it immediately asks for the master password.

I downloaded the latest apps suite program and installed the new Portable Firefox. I set a master password but it doesn't prompt you for it until you go to a site needing login details. It seems you can use the browser to your heart's content as long as you avoid a login page. This means someone can browse all your bookmarks also.

I know this has been asked before but all the search results were relatively old so here goes: Is there any way I can protect my passwords etc if I lose my usb drive or it gets stolen please? I'm thinking "No" so is the only option a usb drive that comes with encryption? Thank you!

are you kidding me? I was always a big fan of portableapps, but its ridiculous that you force me to have my "portable" apps installed in a special place, for it is not allowed to install them in the usual place where all apps are installed.

what means "portable" to you? you dont have to tell me, what I do on my computer. its embarassing.

Here is example....

While SumatraPDF uses only 3.8 MB for itself,
the launcher wastes 36 MB.

Hello,
Just a quick question.
I use Chrome portable often at work, from a USB stick.
If I install the portable version to my PC Hard drive,
would I still have the same benefits as running it from
the stick ( not leaving a 'trail' behind ) ?

Is there any way of copywriting my intellectual property in an app? I have a great idea for a business that isn't mine, I would like to help them and make some money off it at the same time.

Hi,

i recently changed my main computer (from desktop to laptop). Anyway, as a heavy user of portable apps, i moved all my apps onto the new hard drive, and everything went fine except for AIMP Portable.

When I launched it, it forgot all the settings i used on the previous computer. I kept a copy on my previous computer, so i could recheck, and it is definitely an issue: the programs stores data in the

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\AIMP3

folder (i got all my apps on another drive, in a "Apps" folder at its root).
