General Discussion

In my never ending quest to be a computer idiot, for the second time I have prematurely deleted an email account and all the folders are gone. Is there anyway to recover them as there were several saved emails with travel information on some upcoming business trips. Can someone same my butt???? I'm thanking you in advance!!!

This topic is to answer the question of what apps are legal and what aren't allowed it is primarily for the PA Mods, but not exclusive.

I feel there is a need for clarification on legality of apps. Here is why?

Google Chrome Portable 2.0.162.0 https://portableapps.com/node/18051. There is a question posted there stating is the app legal.

In this request for Google Chrome Browser https://portableapps.com/node/17050 it was mentioned that Google Chrome cant be hosted here but Chromium can.

We have made our software PortableApps aware.

This means that there is no additional modification from any 3rd party necessary as it already runs fine on PortableApps. Is this the sole reason why only Open-Source would be listed here?

Is there a way to set up Amsn to run under a proxy. like Firefox and Thunderbird do

also same problem with pidgon here.

Why does every single page of this website have a Firefow 3 logo on the bottom left-hand corner?

Hello,

I'm using PortableApps for a while and the more I use it the more I like it !
But there is one little detail that makes me quite afraid.

If I lose my USB key, all my documents can be taken by anyone.

So here is my question : is it possible to protect the access to the device with PortableApps on it with a password ?
I've been looking for a solution on this website and on the internet but I can not find anyhting about that request...

I asked the developer of OBEX commander for a portable version, this was his reply:

Thank you for using OBEX Commander.
Please use version 2.0 beta if you want to use it as portable application.
Install OBEX Commander as usual, then copy OBEX Commander folder to PortableApps folder of your USB drive.

+\PortableApps\
+\OBEX Commander\ +\PortableAppsMenu\ Commander icon will be available in menu.

After some research in the forums and in the rest of the internet. I couldn't find any specific information about this topic. So I'm trying to get some help from the community's know-how.

The point is:
I'm trying to develop a portable application to, lets say ,store information in a secure way in the pen drive, To be more simple to understand i will describe it using images as the information example.

I was just thinking, inspired by another topic, that for the holidays it would be a cool service for PortableApps to customize flash drives for gifts.

I'm just kinda curious... You know how some games which are distributed on CD don't require you to have the CD in to run the game? How sketchy would it be, legally speaking, to code a launcher for such a game and run it off a flash drive?
