General Discussion

Hi all,

I'm looking for something that will associate the files with the programs on my portableapps devices (only while the platform is running). I think eXpresso 1.3.1 is the latest and greatest but all the links that I can find are dead. I also did hear that file association was going to be integrated with the platform but I can't seem to find any information on whether this has happened or not.

Could anybody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks,
Rochey

hi.

As it stands using the built in download-er:
- Issue 1. I have to click each program individually, (There is no selection of a whole category)
- Issue 2. The auto installer reports Inaccurately when cancelling an installation (On its License Agreement Window): it says:
- "install Complete" rather than "Cancelled".

Issue 3. The built-in download-er seems to vary in speed compared to downloading via web browser.

Alternatively by using the site to download apps:
- Issue 1. I cannot download a bundle of programs at once.

As a suggestion:

hi.

Would it be possible to change the tags used in webpages please?

or would this be detrimental?

Currently it is:
''Outdated Official Portable Applications | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB, portable and cloud drives''

Which results in firefox suggesting a saveAs file name of:
"Outdated Official Portable Applications _ PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB, portable and cloud drives.htm"

Thanks for your time.

hi,
I have searched the forum and found a few discussions about 64bit programs.

I fully support maintaining both 32bit and 64bit versions where possible of each program.

However the only way I can see to identify which programs have 64bit versions via browsing the portableapps.com website is to browse every single page for each program.

Is there another way?
(aside from downloading all programs using the PA platform on a 64bit machine)

Thanks.

p.s
if not: could this be accepted as a usability suggestion please?

I'm debating switching PeerBlock Portable from the 1.1 stable branch to the 1.1+ beta branch. 1.1 was last updated in November 2010. There are now some issues with lists only being allowed to update weekly and the old 1.1 doesn't handle that as well. 1.1+ automatically switches to weekly and included improved error messaging around when a blocked update happens. It does switch to VC++ 2008 and drops Win2K support (not that we support it anymore) but just something to include. Thoughts?

Not sure where i should post this, but its just a simple theme i have been playing with for a few hours. it is by no means complete.

PSD files are included with layers set up in a way that you can figure out what goes where in case you want a template to start making your own backgrounds with.

to remove transparency just open the chrome.psd file, disable the pink layer, and save as chrome.png in the same folder.

Da question.

I'm interested in giving away engraved USB keys with Portableapps Platform to special customers as a gift.

Is the Suite installed in the PA-Companion placed in a ROM or is it deletable by my customers (not apreciated)?

If it is simply preinstalled in the FLASH part and as I'm located in Germany, could I simply buy some blank USB keys an install a PA-Platform with preselected programs suitable for them?

And: Would it be a problem with engraving the German Umlauts (ä, ö, ü)?

I have version 11.2 and I need help in removing "Music" from my main menu.
I have read back issues on this and from what I can tell, the information is outdated.

Is there a way to remove it?

I am using this as a utility tool at work and I believe if IT was to see "music" they would think it non-work related.

Thanks ahead for any suggestions.

I concur with "beeje"'s comment.
To support PortableApps which I and colleagues use (in addition to donating), I have bought some of these Carbides to give as gifts, but it has blown up in my face and I am now scrambling to support what should have been a trouble-free gift.
