General Discussion

I have read on various places questions about other portable sites (plagiarist) but every time, there is the info - the link has been removed. So much for the information.

I was browsing the web for a portable version of Unlocker (it is not open source software) and arrived there [link to illegal site removed by mod JTH]. I believe this is one of the plagiarist sites related on some other threads, since the logo really is a copy, etc.

VLC and MPlayer: which one plays more types of files?

I was wondering if it was possible to make am applicaiton that would be able to run portablely like all the other apps from the suite (duh...this is portableapps.com, right?) and let us browse through all the alpha, beta, dev test, pre release canidates and also all of the released apps. Each different section is seperated into different sections like games, internet, utilities and such. Each app also having a discription so the user knows the functions of the apps he is looking it.

SourceForge.net, the site where we host our file downloads, has been having file hosting stability and download mirror issues since June 30, 2009. This is due to the recent SourceForge.net site upgrades and is affecting all 230,000 projects that SourceForge.net hosts.

They have some details of the ongoing issues here:

UPDATE (2009-07-02 @ 5pm): It looks like it came back up. Downloads are working again.

When I click the download link for Command Prompt 2.1, I'm sent to a generic download list, and the Command Prompt version available is 2.0, rather than 2.1

Wouldn't it seem logical to make just one installer per PortableApp and then have that installer download the setup file and extract it to the directory. Would eliminate the need to re-compile PortableApps when the base app is updated.

I have a .exe app that I want to add to the PortableApps menu. The .exe file, though, is in a sub-directory of the program's folder in the PortableApps folder, i.e.
F:\PortableApps\ProgramNamePortable\bin\
The .exe absolutely must be located in the bin directory. I have tried adding a shortcut like this:
F:\PortableApps\ProgramNamePortable\ProgramsShortcut.lnk
but the PortableApps menu won't add the shortcut.
