General Discussion

Hi all, kinda new here and as do all n00bs, I got a couple questions.

1. I made a Star Trek Theme but I am having difficulty getting the custom Icons to work. How do I remedy this?

2. Also, the only way I can get my custom theme to work is to name it Green (or another of the Default themes) and rename Green to GreenOld. How can I get my theme to show up in the theme choices dialog box?

Thanks in advance,
Spann

Hi there, I have a lot of apps in my menu, about 95, many of them util programs I just dumped in there. The new progress bar on the menu is nice, but for me it's still slow even on a fast computer. So I was wondering if you could add an option to disable the auto scanning for programs unless someone installs a new program or clicks on the refresh button.

Hopefully there's an option for this already that I can add to the PortableAppsMenu.ini file?

hy,
has everybody some experience with using protable apps on a file server in a network, where more than one user can use the applications of portable apps on the same time?
the idea behind is that the application will not be loaded on the usb-stick or lockal external hard disk, but on the file server for more users. the problem was that i had a problem with the disk, where i saved the portable apps and so i lost my files as the disk was broken. the same happen bevor with an usb-stick. Untill this problems all worked perfekt, updates too.

OK, people have been calling for a wiki for a while now. But a wiki isn't exactly what we need. What we need is a knowledge base, a collection of articles about things like false positives and apps that can't be made portable.

Hi,
Any idea on how we can block access to the USB drive on my PC.

I know we can change the registry settings but that wont solve the problem as it can be changed back by other user.

Is there any portable app or open source software or freeware available to help me out.

Thanks in adavance!

If I were to make a "suite" or something, I don't know, could I redistribute the launcher from here, but remove firefox, and make the installer download firefox (the original) from the web and extract it to the folder. Or, if I can't do that, can I just make an installer download the whole firefox portable installer and just make it extract that?

I am new to this forum and to the subject at hand. Please excuse my basic understanding of the deployment of a portable app vs. an OS.

1. Can you have both a linux OS and portable apps on a USB?
2. Can a USB be partitioned to carry both an OS and portable apps and able to boot or access one or the other?

As a traveler, I sometimes do not have access to a pc where I have admin rights to run an OS, i.e. linux w/apps installed that boots USB at startup. Would portable apps solve this problem?

I just noticed the new badges and wanted to share my thoughts about them:

I think they are good because they distinguish between Admins and normal users. So people know a little bit about the rank/reputation/knowledge of the person responding to their posts. Other forums have that too where you earn stars or something depending on your number of posts and I like it.
