General Discussion

Hi there,

I am interested in providing the PortableApps software to students at the college where I work. A lot of students are not tech Savvy and can't afford premium software. PortableApps would be a pain free alternative for them.

Before I proceed can someone please confirm if using PortableApps in an educational environment would infringe on any terms and conditions/ license agreements?

Thanks,

Wayne

Hello.What happened with Google Chome 18 Stable?I cannot see

can i upload my own apps ? i have made a few with winrar

Good day.
I am a student from Russia. I was advised, as your forum to find information for my graduation project.
and the topic is precisely this: the creation of portable applications.
To be honest, in practice, I did not come across them, is this. I would like to see the entire structure of a database application. as they are, work, and so on.
in my work I need to rassmotert three stiuatsii to create applications, namely to create a portable application in three different development environments and to compare between them.

Does a portable program, any .exe type file run "faster"/"better" from a USB rather than on the hard drive its being run from.

If a app is on a USB drive and is run from there would it be just as fast if the portable app file was on the desktop (on the hard drive) of the computer the USB was attached to?

I realize the whole convenience of Portable apps is to run from a thumb drive, but i was just wondering about this.

----
Also is there any difference between running an App from a thumbdrive or an external hard drive?

Please make new comments easier to spot during page scrolling.

Rationale: Ergonomics. Topics with several non-consecutive new comments force user's eyes away from the main content to the right, in order to notice the red "New" tag while scrolling. On the other hand, if the background of new comments was given a very slight visual clue, a very gentle shade of red, the eyes and focus could remain on the content. Even while scrolling towards new posts, glancing over older ones makes it easier to remember what the topic was about, or what the other comments said.

Hi, i Would know if when install setup of anyone portable apps on site, on my registry of windows 7, write new value of key registry?

If yes,where is the path?

Hello!

The automatic update system updates the apps by removing and re-installing the directory? or it just copy new files up on the old files?

Thank you!

I'm curious, what precaution is portableapps.com taking in the case of a said developer being infected with a zero day virus, injects/copy itself into an executable in a main portable program, and then gets redistributed unknowingly through the automatic program update feature?

How does a user know that they can safely update their programs without the fear of this happening? Are these apps being "portablelized" through a clean and secured environment?

Don't get me wrong, love the feature and apps, but really it's a legitimate question.

Checked forum, haven't found anything relevant.

So, I have a few nice standalone portable programs and I just want to add links to .exe in PA launcher menu. No need to pack them in .paf (and some of them doesn't allow that, like password keeper program).

Is there a simple way to do that? Like an archive with complete folder structure and one file to insert path to exe?
