General Discussion

Well, I updated to Windows 7 without too much fuss.
But, my favorite little Portable Apps ICON does not show up on the Windows 7 Systems.
Has someone figured out how to correct that?

It is such a nice launch pad and easy to show people how to use portable apps, I would really like to get it back.

Thanks,
Chuck

If you use many porgrams on your portable devices, its hard to install them all-at-once. For example 40 programs to install on USB drives is many-time-wasting.

It could be easier, if ... one installer do all from pack in one way.

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if it's the right place to post but as it's a general question, I tried "General Discussion" Please move this post if I'm wrong.

Many people in the past asked to make portable some applications portable but get a not possible answer because of requirements.

• Admin privileges to install driver (thinking of VirtualBox and TrueCrypt)
• .Net installed (thinking of Paint.Net which I don't use anyway ...)

Whenever I try to change my signature and hit Save, it errors out and tells me "the email address is already registered". wtf?

I have recently been shopping for a portable hard drive and found a Western Digital that claims on the package to have 256 bit hardware encryption built in. After downloading and viewing the instructions it appears to need administrator rights to unlock the drive. I thought I remembered reading that drives with hardware encryption could be unlocked without administrator rights, unless I misunderstood. The model number of the drive I was WDBAAA3200BK if I remember correctly. I was also looking at a Western Digital WDME3200TK (if I remembered that one also).

PeaZip 2.8 was released today
http://peazip.sourceforge.net/

The 2.8 line development was focused into:
- New file/archive browser's UI, with easier selection, optional row selection, alternative details / list view.
- Improved navigation menu for browsing, extraction and archiving
- Improved scheduler launching jobs from program's GUI
- Archive conversion feature, either converting each archive separately or consolidating input archives into a single output archive of the desired format.

I have some apps in .... zip/7z/tar format and want to create paf installer. How can be done. Is there any easy way to do it ?

It would be interesting (or not) to see a graph that shows the number of official portable applications available over time (say on a monthly basis). Just purely out of curiosity.

I was just looking at the list a moment ago, seeing what apps might need updating, thinking to myself, "Wow, this list is getting pretty huge. I remember back in the good old days when I barely had to scroll the screen!"

Hi all,

I needed with removing flash unsafely , psi.exe was killed.

Thank you a lot.

I've seen that PortableApps has a Linux build in the works, but I'd like to partition my 16GB USB and install a distro on it right now... But due to a Grub error, as well as the abnormal type of installation I currently have, all I can use on my laptop right now in WinXP; so could someone point me to one that's easy to set up in a persistent state, and that can easily be installed via windows (without having to burn a CD-R)?
