General Discussion

Hey there!

I just love it when there are so many new PA updates and new apps available and thought that I'd drop by and say a big "Thank you!"...

But then I thought what if others want to do the same (and I know there are many people here who want to)? What if everyone started their own Thank You thread... So why don't we all express our gratitude towards the whole PA team and vision here in this thread

On the Apps page the link to VirtualVolumesViewPortable is broken (typo in link: "volumews").

For new users it would be cool if they could select portable apps on a web page and when they made their choice, they could download a custom a zip file with the selected apps bundled in it. Since the portable apps installers simply copy the contents to the flash drive, this can easily be done on the server side. For those that don't understand this idea very clear: Mowes has something similar (see http://www.chsoftware.net/en/mowes/mowesmixer/mowesmixer.htm?step=2).

So, I Googled for Format Factory Portable.
I found this Hit:

https://portableapps.com/node/18743

Is this legit?
I clicked on the link in there to supposedly download Format Factory Portable.
Something seemed odd about some of the text at the top.
I noticed it said, "Your prapper download will start shortly."
I couldn't remember exactly what it was supposed to say, but it seemed unfamiliar.
I later verified with another App that it's supposed to say, "Your PortableApps.com: Portable Software / USB download will start shortly."

Hello,

I present to you my fisrt creation on this freeware.

Thank you to the team PortableApps.

After I copy a URL in the clipboard, the appropriate issues are in the main window of DamnVid. If I now click on the button "Let's go!", in the column "status" now stand the words "In progress...". But the Download don't start!!! Please give me a tip.

Best regards

I have noticed a slow deterioration in file downloading.

I used to be able to simply click on files, then sourceforge would open and the file would begin downloading.

But those were the good ol' days... because now, sourceforge never downloads any files and it's a real struggle to get anything happening, and I eventually have to give up and not able to download any files.

What's happened? Maybe you need to store your files elsewhere because you linking your files with sourceforge causes some obvious problems!

I've seen a couple of people asking for a separate Support sub-forum for whatever app it is they are wanting one for, and usually the answer is that it is not going to happen otherwise we would end up with eleventy-billion Support sub-forums, which I completely agree is a bad idea.

However, I also think having sub-forums for 20 different apps and one for everything else is almost as bad.

So here is the suggestion: We have the apps currently sorted into categories: Accessibility, Development, Education, Games etc. so why don't we have the support sub-forums separated the same?

I am a first-time poster here. I have used portable apps for quite a while, and I increasingly use them on my desktop machine, to avoid dealing with the hassles of uninstalling or conflicts with other software. I am always on the lookout for great new portable apps. The Portableapps.com web site is a real gold mine.
