General Discussion

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I would like to carry my files, encrypted, on a thumb drive and sync changes to the cloud (I use Google Drive, but am not attached to it, I can switch if necessary).

I've hunted around and can't quite find a solution that works. The files on my thumb drive must be encrypted as they have sensitive client information. And that's where the problem comes in. Since I don't know if I'll have admin rights on a computer I'm limited in what I can use to encrypt files on a thumb drive. The best solution has been to use a secure sandisk usb drive.

I'm in the process of closing and deleting accounts on the net which I don't use any more. I looked for an option to do it myself in account settings but I couldn't find any so could you (moderators/John) please close and delete my account for me?

Sorry to make a thread for something like this but as mentioned I couldn't find any other way to do it or to contact John or another moderator directly/privately.

Thanks in advance

I know this subject has been run to death. And I also understand John's stance and I agree with closing apps before ejecting the usb stick. I generally do this, but on occasion something gets left open when I click on the eject utility on the PA menu.

How much of the purchase price of the USB Drives goes to the portable apps project?

I wish to know how much of the USB drive price goes to the Portableapps project. I sent in a donation, then it occurred to me, if the majority of the price of the companion USB drive went to the project, then I could buy the drive and most of what I spent would go to portable app development.

Since I don't really need another USB drive, there would be no other reason to actually order one.

It's been a long time since the Platform 12 beta was released and the stable version of 12 was promised a couple weeks later and it has been about a year since then plus the release of new apps has slowed down a lot since then. What happened to new apps and Platform v12?

Hello,

I don't know if I write in the right topic, so sorry if I miss.

I Know that's not recommanded to still use OLD version of JAVA. But I dont have the choice. It is forced by the code of the target web site.

In fact, in France we have to used on line tools to make business with public institution. Well ... it exist one web site for each public institution. Each of them used a JAVA version and take no care of security update or product evolution.

But we have to do with, to work with them.

So, I brainstorming on this with my crew and we found an acceptable response.

I have many apps on my flash drive. Oh, who am I kidding? I practically live off of it. Anyways I have the PA Platform and have set a few apps to run on start-up of the platform (AquaSnap, AIMP, WinPenguins, etc.)So I plugged my flash drive into a school computer that has Windows 7 installed and has no Quick Start Menu and has task manager restricted. I forgot at the time and thus opened WinPenguins. A few minutes later, my Web Design class started. I tried every possible way I could think of to try and exit the program, but to no avail. In the end, I had to restart the computer.

Is anyone else seeing issues with the displaying of the PortableApps homepage? For the last 12-18 hours, a lot of the images seem to be missing (is the CDN working ok?). This is what I see with Firefox:

Hi,

I use a lot several of the portableapps programs. Once in a while, I like to go to the portableapps to check if there are any new interesting applications. Therefore, I was wondering if there is a list to subscribe for receiving an email any time there is a release of a new application (I am not talking about new updates for existing programs) with information about what the application does. It may already exist something like this, if so, please let me know. Otherwise, it would be interesting to have it in the near future.
Thanks,
Peter
