General Discussion

The recent question on whether or not to switch from ANSI to Unicode in the next Notepad++ Portable is actually part of a larger discussion on whether it is worth it to continue supporting Windows 95/98/Me and ANSI.

Ok, so a new Notepad++ release is upon us and, as it has been a week, it appears to be stable. Unlike before when over 1/2 of the standard plugins hadn't been updated for Unicode, it now appears that all the standard plugins except for LightExplorer have been updated, so that's the only thing you lose by switching. Well, that and Windows 9x compatibility, of course.

So, I'm thinking it may be time to switch from ANSI to Unicode for Notepad++ Portable 5.1.2. Any other thoughts?

Hello Community,

Quite unfortunately there's been an issue with my server and various directories of users have been removed. I'm doing all I can to try and have these directories recovered, but in the mean time all the files that were in these directories and were linked to from PortableApps.com will be missing in action. The users I noticed that were affected are as follows: David Dixon, Oliver Krystal, Kevin Porter, powerjuce, digitxp's old releases will be gone, and I noticed an issue with Zach Hudock's directory, but it looks like everything is there, and I seriously hope it is.

I think both are portable and free. Which is better? In terms in memory usage, fuction, speed.

I often run PortableApps from a RAM stick on my own Vista 32-bit PC. Some applications (Eraser, for example) require elevation in Vista. I'd like to be able to right-click in the PortableApps menu and select "Run As Adminstrator" but that's not available.

How can I elevate PortableApps applications? And no, I don't want to turn UAC off in Vista.

Thanks!

PS. Forgive me if this has been discussed already, I did a forum search but found nothing.

OpenOffice.org Portable 3 is out. So Shouldn't the menu preview be different on the homepage? Or would that be too much work?

Is GnuCash 2.2.8 portable soon available?

I have a USB version of Opera 9.62 but the 9.63 version has the security updates. Is there a portable 9.63 that I haven't found yet and/or will letting usb opera9.62 auto update destroy portablility?

I was good, then. But now I can´t download anything. It´s liek they sold all the servers and just kept the old 486 or something. It takes at least 20 retries, and the mirrors are all crap. Can´t you use something else instead? Filehippo or what ever. I´m trying to avoid Sourceforge, because I don´t have the time to wait till I´m (very) old.

Thx.

PS.: Sry just pissed off right now...
Delete it if you want, I don´t care.

Since I searched for a Forum that was kinda like a Questions and Comments area, I found nothing about that, so in my lame ability to search, I created a Kudos page...
Please don't hurt me...

I just wanted to say, You guys (all who participate in the Portable Apps) are awesome, and your doing a great Job, and I challenge anyone who likes these apps to, Leave a Kudos or such type message here.

Again sorry if there is something like this and I missed it, I have already proven my inability to search well once in the Request forum, so there...
