General Discussion

hey

I've downloaded some portable apps from another site.
how can I be sure these apps are actually portable? don't have the source code or anything...

also, these apps are actually great, I want them to be part of PortableApps.com's suit - how can I pass it on the PotableApps.com's team for that purpose ?

thanks

It is not clear when talking about installing PortableApps related Programms (for example FolderzMiniApp).
I cannot understand how to install - from inside Platform or in Windows Explorer.

Full details are online here (mod JTH):

I love this website so much that I want to alert you to a persistent web attack. I have norton 360 small business edition 5.0. I'm sure that this is not a false positve or otherwise i would not bother to write a post.
My security system says "web attack black hole toolkit website 12"
this attack is happening with EVERY single thing i click on this website.
I.P. address this attack is coming from is 72.32.40.232

Trying to make my netbook run faster in prep for taking it to ocs, so that it can pull weight like a full size computer. Otherwise, the base will make me buy one and charge me through the nose to do so. I am trying to dump some of my heavier programs and apps. Portableapps seemed like a good substitute. Can portableapps do a good job of taking the place of most programs on a netbook? I don't want to have to keep track of a jump drive through ocs so I was just going to install and use it straight from my netbook. Is this a good idea?

Hi all! I've updated the fonts sitewide to use a newer style. It's using a font from the Google Web Fonts project under an open license. The goal was to give things a bit fresher feel. What do you think?

I'm not new to portable apps and have been using them for the past six years.

I usually take a separate back-up of my data at work just for my own piece of mind. To do this I use Synkron portable. It's nice and convenient. I assumed that most portable apps install 'something' to the host machine when they are opened, but then 'clean their trail' when they exit.

All links for this program are down.. and the newest one (with megaupload being dead) is dead too..

could someone who has the latest app reupload it to www.mediafire.com for me?

thanks

I've been using foobar and it allows scrobbling via the last.fm site with it's built in setting. (I can't use the last.fm app because I can't install stuff at work.)

I just recently installed the portable apps suite and love the update feature. Sadly, I can't figure out how to install outside portable apps in this suite. (I was using PStart before. I loved the simplicity, but the ability to auto update trumps all.)

Do any of the music apps in the "Portable App Directory" enable scrobbling support?

Hi, I'd like to use an older Skype version and I do have the old Skypeinstall.exe.

How can I make Skypeportable.paf.exe to use this local file instead of downloading it?
Well, I don't want to set up my own DNS server and webserver and reroute the download request...

Thank you very much!
