General Discussion

I've just one little question.
Maybe it would be possible to answer it myself by browsing the site or building myself but its easier and more convenient like this.
So, why is the AppLauncher necessary?
Well, I use the Apps as an alternative to systemwide installations and it just crossed my mind whether or not the launcher is really necessary. If it is why and what does it?

Is there an easy way to download all of the applications at once? Maybe a zip file that contains all the applications or something like that. I would really like to just download all of the applicaitons at once instead of going from page to page to page for each application. It seems like it would be a good way to easily download and play with the applications and test them out at the same time saving me a lot of download time as well.

Is there any chance of adding the date of last update for each application listed on the Applications webpage on the web site?

I just discovered Orca Browser http://www.orcabrowser.com/

Orca Browser Portable http://www.orcabrowser.com/download.php

i didnt know were to post it so i posted this in general but can you teach me to make my own portable platform launcher like the one here but with my own idea and being able to post it on my blog without any copyright from this website or any other site please.

Hello,

I downloaded Portable App Creator 0·97·2 beta and tried to make a portable app using it. The PAC Compiler.exe downloads the files missing and after that i click on the created Portable App Creator.exe, but nothing happens. Can you please help me with this? I am using winxp sp2 pro.

Thanks in advance!

Would it be allowed for PA.c applications to be hosted on Filehippo.com (FH.c)?

I imagine positive exposure and a strengthening of credibility of PA.c. FH.c would introduce PA.c apps to a wider public (than the current Sourceforge community or other tech communities/junkies). FH.c has a reputation for hosting only malware-free applications. Were FH.c to host PA.c apps, I believe that would only strengthen PA.c's reputation and credibility in the digital world.

Filehippo.com's Purpose:

Is there anyway to stay updated on when updates to specific existing Portable apps come out? i.e. via RSS, email, etc?

For example, it'd be handy to know when new Firefox builds have been "portablized" without having to come back to regularly check.

Thanks!

My sites were hacked using via Gumblar hack/virus. I was using FileZilla and somehow they used the FTP login/passwords to hack into my sites.

I have now removed the Filezilla.XML file on the host machine and running data sensitive stuff using the Portable Apps via USB Drive.

If I visit a hacked site again(with virus).. and somehow my PC gets infected... Is the data on USB drive safe?

Thanks,
Mike

The word "Portable" means not only being able to run without installation, it also means if the user runs it on a portable drive (e.g. USB thumb), all temp files should be saved on the portable drive instead of on the host computer. This means you should always save temp files, temp folders on the same drive as the application, and leave no trace on the host computer.
