General Discussion

Hi

I am thinking about this PortableApps.com thing
I use it on a 4 Gb usb drive.
Now I have made all the apps translated into danish and I am wondering about one thing.

I saw this discussion: https://portableapps.com/node/4480
where a company will redistribute the portableapps.com along with some other software - but its missing one point.

Can I sell the package translated into danish and packed with the software the single user require ( from the whole suite to just a few apps)
off course the apps will be unmodified exept for translation.

Hello

When I first downloaded and installed the Lite version of PortableApps the launch menu would always pop up as soon as I inserted the USB into the computer. Subsequently I installed Roboform2go, and now Roborofm2go comes up as the first action, and the very useful PortableApps menu does not appear

How can I solve this?

thanks

PortableApps.com has reached it's 10,000th node! This node marks the memory of hundreds of duplicate posts, pointless support requests, and duplicate requests!

Go PortableApps.com!

The whole portable applications concept to me is brilliant. This site has contributed to this greatly, therefore my thanks.

There is just one big issue that has plagued this concept from the beginning, and that is the fact that relatively cheap flash-drives handle great numbers of small files like crap.

I want to intall a java runtime enviroment on my flash drive. I have no idea where to begin. i have read forums on it all day and i am still confused. im not sure if it is possible to run a JRE off a flash drive, even if it is only for the programs on the flash drive. does anyone know if it can be done? and how?

Hi all,

I normally keep a backup of the files on my USB drive using SyncBack. Well, I tried to take one today and all the files on my drive are one hour ahead! What's up with that! My USB drive is still on DSTime! BTW, the time on my PC is correct and updated correctly this weekend. I even had my USB drive plugged in!

Is anyone else having this problem? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Does any/or all of the portable apps work on windows mobile??

i love using portable APP so i mostly practice :

Java is cross-platform, most of Java Apps don't need install(unpack and use), don't read/write Windows registry, don't modify any files except it's profile, don't copy any files but it's install folder, they only depents Java VM.

So many desktop apps is based on Java. eg: Azureus, Eclipse, BlogBridge, CrossFTP, jEdit, JamP, etc. And also, there are so many server/web apps based on Java, eg: Tomcat, JBoss, JavaDB/Derby, HSQLDB, H2, db4o, and other FTP/LDAP/DNS server software. We can use web apps to manage our infomations, in many instance, that's better than desktop apps.

There was a post last year on a Guild Wars Launcher. The link to the launcher is outdated, and I was wondering if there still is a launcher for this? Also, do you really need a launcher?
