Hello All,

Can any application be run within PortableApps or is it to be used only for programs that are already portable?

The program I would like to run w/n PortableApps is Real Studio (www.realsoftware.com). But to the best of my knowledge they do not have a portable version of their application.

Thanks,

Craig

Hello! I use Opera browser for years now and was very happy to see this portable version. But there is some bug I think. It does not save settings for preferred language. Every time I close it and open in is back to English.

Is anybody else have the same problem ?

I seem to remember (though I could be wrong), that there was some confusion on this site about WinVNC's encryption (what license, valid download, etc.). I came across this today (see the bottom for the license info). The download is valid for both the x86 and the x64 versons. I saw this and wanted to share...

The cap to my PortableApps.com Companion has become very loose. This flash drive has been my favorite since I received it and I use it daily.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can pick up some replacement flash drive caps? I have looked and apparently they aren't easy to find. You would think there would be a market for replacement caps with all the loose and lost caps in the flash drive world.

Thanks,

Al ...

I just saw on Majorgeeks.com, that Trend Micro has decided to make HijackThis Open Source. I used to love this program for combatting malware, though it has become dated. Hopfully, this will breath some new life into it. I would love to add this to the PA.com list of programs (when it gets released, that is).

The link to the actual announcement is at http://www.majorgeeks.com/story.php?id=33365. I hope it was ok to post this. If not, I apologize.

Greetings,

How do I turn off automatic updating of Skype Portable? Without asking me, Skype Portable silently downloads a new version of itself then proudly announces that it has installed said download without my permission. This is annoying as it clogs my connection for use on other tasks.

Mid-last year, I also had Skype Portable attempting to install itself onto the host computer that I was using which caused no end of grief.

(Before anyone asks just remember; not everyone is on 'all you can eat' internet connections)

I noted that we have a PortableApps.com Team Page. Was wondering if it might be modified perhaps to show status of the developers? Example: Active-inactive-sabbatical-former etc?

Might make it easier if/when apps need to be picked up by others?

Just a thought

I am curious if Portable Apps can be installed on an HP Touchpad and if so how is this done?

Thanks

I don't use the language bar on my laptop so I have it hidden.

When I use the eject feature of the platform my language bar shows up for about 1 second ( in the system tray ) before the platform is actually ejected.

Is this normal ?

Hi!

How can i clean the temp files of my Portable apps programs. Or is there any quick way to clean config files of portable apps?

Is it enough to remove everything inside PortableApps\AppName\Data directory?

Thanks...
