Thought you may like to know that TinyTask v1.61 was released 2 days ago, but the download is still invalid.

What's the story?

For some reason the built-in VPN in Opera won't work on my Windows 7 PC. It will only work when I run it inside a Virtual Machine in VirtualBox. Does anybody know why that is or how to fix it?

This is really annoying. I was using Opera Portable in a Virtual Machine in VirtualBox. I saved my VirtualBox session. When I loaded it up again Opera had updated to version 45 which has a completely new look and all my pinned and unpinned tabs were gone and there was nothing in the history!

How can I prevent Opera 45.0 Portable from installing updates automatically?

Is there a simple way to download all of the PApps.? very impressed with the few that I have downloaded.
Thanks.

Salut!

I cannot figure out how to pass command line arguments to Blender.exe
Is it possible?

Finally, I've figured out how to open FBX* file in Blender*
(Blender is 3d graphics editor. FBX is non-native format, that must be imported, instead of opening).

The command line is:

blender.exe -P im_fbx.py -- MyModel.fbx

(while im_fbx.py reads:
import sys
import bpy
argv = sys.argv
argv = argv[argv.index("--") + 1:] # get all args after "--"
bpy.ops.import_scene.fbx(filepath=argv[0])
)

On "SmartDefragPortable_5.6.0.1078.paf.exe" AVAST antivirus says: "Win32-Malvare-gen".

Hello Guys,

I am facing with my external hard drive, the drive is appearing in the system but don’t gave access over it. Can anyone please help me out from this problematic situation?

For years I've used dsCrypt on my flash drives. It's incredibly fast and simple to use. Until
recently, dsCrypt was all I needed.

I want to protect a couple of very important business related folders. dsCrypt cannot encrypt
folders, so I need an app that will lock a folder with password protection.

After a quick Google search, I found Cr!ptAES. The reviews say it can encrypt files and folders.
I cannot change hundreds of filenames, so Cr!ptAES must prevent a folder from opening without
a password. Is that what it does?

Let's say you install portable app XYZ using the PA Launcher.

Then you close the PA Launcher.

Is it now possible to run app XYZ without first running the PA Launcher, and have app XYZ clean up after itself?

Or is it necessary to launch app XYZ from the PA Launcher so that the cleanup process takes place after the app is done running?

TIA.

I was wondering if there was interest in PortableApps.com using its LinkedIn page the way we use our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ social media to handle new app announcements, platform release announcements, and significant news posts. We have an unused LinkedIn page here we could use: https://www.linkedin.com/company/portableapps

Would this be of use to you?
