PortableApps Eject Idea!

Submitted by fieldview on April 17, 2012 - 4:32pm

I had an idea that i think might be useful for others related to ejecting the drive.
I was wondering if it would be possible to make it that when ejecting the portableapps drive, that it prompts to end all task/processes related to the portableapps drive so there will be no problems regarding ejecting drives and then we could choose wether or not to end the processes.

If this has been discussed on the forum please link me and I will delete this post.

I have been trying TeamViewer PortableApps and I tell you, this thing is far from portable, its no different than the so called portable TeamViewer they offer on TeamViewer.com (Which sucks), it writes to AppData, registry and who knows where else!

Can someone clarify this please?

utorrent 3.1.3

Submitted by kimunlimited on April 7, 2012 - 9:19am

I don't have a good connection of wifi on my laptop so I go to the cafe and rent a computer to download torrent into my portable HDD using utorrent portable. All is well until the update for 3.1.3 arrives. It doesn't seem to retain any data of the previous session and always ask me to install. When I return to the shop I see the utorrent empty of loaded torrents I was seeding last time which is frustrating since I need to reload it again and some files are too large it takes time.

The cafe has a deepfreeze so data from the last user before shutdown isn't retain.

How do I cure this?

As we're debuting the PortableApps.com Format 3.0 which will include the specs for file formats, I wanted to get other folks' thoughts on what filetypes we should include icons for and information on within the platform by default. These will be icons included with the platform and the associated file formats that will use them by default.

Submitted by sundean on April 5, 2012 - 4:37am

Hi,

i am doing some studies about portable application in general to study the traces that they leave after use. I know everybody is saying that these application don't leave any trace. but i'm sure they will leave something somewhere.

Can someone help me to develop this subject.

Can you tell me names of some applications that can be used to see where an application(one of the portable application for exemple) create files or leave files somewhere, or put keys in register?like a tracer.

Thanks in advance.

Automatic Start

Submitted by iTechNewsDaily on April 3, 2012 - 9:40pm

Ok, so I tried creating a autorun file for this and it didn't work at all. Is there any way to make it so when I plug in my flash drive, the PortableApps platform starts automatically? I don't want to have to go to the my computer, drive, start, and everything, I just want it to start up automatically when I plug in the drive.

An App that is not an .exe (jar) to the launch menu

Submitted by zerodamage on April 2, 2012 - 12:34pm

I want to add this one particular java program to my launcher. It is a Java app and has a .jar extension. If I change the extension to .exe it will show up but it will obviously not work. Is there a way to make this show up in my launcher? The fact that I cannot just create a shortcut annoys me.

For reference, this is the program.
Encryption Wizard.
