General Discussion

When I haven't been logged in for a while, I always see the threads that where updated or answered to marked as "new". Then I can click on the "new" and it leads me directly to the new post.
But when the thread is longer than one page (like the "Whats on your portable?"-thread), it doesn't jump to the next new post.
Why?
Can it be fixed or is it drupal?

I just noticed, and I'm not sure how long its been like this, but how is it that the launcher no longer runs as a process? Is this because the launcher does not make any modifications to the registry, or clean up any files on exit?

Also is there a way to make the launcher use less memory? Currently the PAT 1.4.1 uses about 7mb memory.

I've recently became aware of PortableApps and have installed it on my thumbdrive. Previously had a U3 drive but it was "hit or miss" if it would work on other PCs'.

I'm wondering if any of you good people can refer me to which applications provides syncronization with MS Outlook, if any. I'd like to be able to have my calendar, address book, etc. accessible thru the drive.

This is an Excellent work.

Is it possible to remove/add the icon to a usb key that contains the Portable Apps utility?

I just moved all my Portable Apps software to another usb key. I would like the Icon that shows up on under My Computer to be the icon for Portable Apps.

I then want to remove the icon from the old usb key. I need to keep the data on it as it is a self-booting boot network boot key.

The icon is great for identification purposes.

Hey all. Sorry, I haven't been around the forums for a few days and haven't done any updates. My best friend was hit by a car on Friday night... it was pretty bad. It looks like he'll be mostly ok, but he's still in the hospital and may be for another week. I've been spending most of my time there since it happened.

Hi, I'm new to this forum but I'm totally addicted to portable programs. It's a shame that there still are so many programs that need to be installed

And that's exactly what I wanna ask you guys about. (I have searched this forum a couple of days ago and my search came up empty so I hope I'm not asking something that has been posted under different words)

I use a Windows Explorer replacement. Because of this, the right sidebar links are next to useless to me since they launch in Windows Explorer. It would be nice if I could change those to launch in my Explorer replacement by modifying the launch command.

Just a thought.

I have my default Windows font size up a notch from the default and it really screws up the look of the launcher. The right column is misplaced and the close button is not on the right "coordinates" to actually close the app.

It's not a huge deal since it's still all usable, but I thought I'd mention it. Screenshot:

I've been browsing on file managers here. Seems freeCommander comes up as a good one that many use. So I tried it. But on the PortableApps menu, I get an uninstall for freeCommander. I tried deleting the uninstall and it got it off the menu. Is it safe to actually delete the uninstall or not? Thanks!

These are a few programs from my "must-have" list that I have been carrying around.
