FreeCommander has released a PortableApps.com format package of their app here:

It's a good app, but I heard in the channel that it's not allowed as FreeCommander isn't open-source. Can someone verify? And if it isn't allowed what gets done about it?

Can a usb device installed portableapps system be the booted usb device?

Hi Guys,

For those who are interested...

I have an (2,5") 250GB HDD in an NexStar 3 USB/esata enclosure with which I performed a launch test of OOP on three different machines to determine an optimum setup for my PA. I use PA extensively, therefore the lack of performance in my work environment (Machine 1) was hindering my productivity.

I chose OOP because of the three poor performers PAM, VLC and OOP, OOP was the one that took the longest to launch.

Machine 1 - USB 2.0:

Hello. Yesterday, I tried to use Portable IDM v5.12.8 to download videos. However, when I reuse it this morning, all incomplete downloaded files previously stored in the main window are GONE! Is there any tips to fix it or other portable apps that possess this facility and faster than IDM?

Thanks.

Hey so I know that generally betas are not released for prime time (ie listed on the front page) but I think there is an exception for Mozilla products?

Anyone know if there will be a Thunderbird 3.0b1 Portable released in the near future?

I use portableapps two years ago, and I think it is the most useful tool that I have used. But since several months ago some portableapps don't work in "some computers", In fact both clamwin and pnotes just start in my home pc. I can't understand what happen?, maybe the antivirus?

Thanks in advance.

So with the first pre-release of Toucan 2.0.4 out in the beta testing forums I am now looking at features for the next version. One of the things that irks me the most about the current version is the manual, it is difficult to use and it hasn't kept up with the lastest features.

So here is my question to you the community, are there any help files or manuals for a program that you really like? The more links the better! I shall download and have a look at as many as possible before diving into creating a new manual for Toucan, so your input will make a huge difference.
