General Discussion

Wow PortableApps has been busy as of late with all the updated apps, as well as the updates being made to the platform. Has the acceptance of new apps been put on a back burner? Are we waiting for another Month to remember? Just wondering??

Are there also older versions of Opera Portable available or only the current one?

P.S.: Can someone explain, why many freeware Portable Apps are only available via download.portableapps.com (and apparently only the recent one?)

Don't know if anyone has noticed this happen (I did have search) before but FF has been using the wrong Java here.

Background: looking at a performance issue I found FF Portable was using
C:\PROGRA~1\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
rather than something under
\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java

Uninstalling QT left remnants in the XP registry like
QTJAVA=C:\PROGRA~1\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
that needed to be tidied by hand and eye.

FF and similar apps that rely on Java are much happier now.

Possible suggestion for discussion and comment:

I have ubuntu 11.04 using wine 1.2. I downloaded this, but I don't know how to get it on my flash drive. It is on my pc. What do i do

In regards to my last post with the security question, Is it at all possible to install a portableapps program on the U3 launchpad, or is it not compatible?

Is there any possibility of Portable apps Development team adding a password protection to the launcher? Back when I used U3, I Favorited the U3 launch pad

Well, there's little activity going around here, and it has been over six years, and I wonder if it is a good idea to discontinue PortableApps.com, just like U3, which discontinued few years ago.

Used the get new apps from the manage app button and the uTorrent app is a FAKE anti virus program it MUST be removed

My Opera folder on my Portable Apps USB seems to have become corrupted. When I open it the file structure is all messed up and the files names are a bunch of symbols and characters. All my other files and folders on the drive are fine and they run fine, it's just Opera that's messed up. It's not malware, I ran several scans on it.

The problem is I can't delete the Opera folder. I get a message about not recognizing the file structure or location doesn't exist. How can I delete the folder?

When I move the ThunderbirdPortable folder, it automatically sets the path and everything works great. However this is not the case with all the portable apps.

Can this be made a part of the portable apps standard so all apps are supported ?
