General Discussion

Is there any way to make OE portable? Its mail database is portable in a way as you can setup the location; the address book is also in a single wab file if I remember correctly. But the mail rules and the accounts are all in the registry... I'm pretty wet behind the ears with all this stuff, but I've read somewhere that you can actually intercept the program when it's writing to the registry and write it to a set location. So is there a way that I could make Outlook Express portable for my own personal use? I've been using it for a decade and I still think it's the easiest tool out there.

I think the threads in beta testing that are no longer in testing (such as gimp 2.6.0, etc.) or multiple threads for the same app should be deleted so it's easier to browse through the apps currently being tested.

I've just finished an upgrade to Drupal 6.5 and the Views module update to 2.0-RC4. While I don't normally do updates like this mid-day, there were some critical security vulnerabilities I wanted to address as soon as the upgrade was posted.

All pages should be working again for logged in users (you may need to reload to get the current). Guest users (not logged in) may see placeholders until the next cached update (every 15 minutes).

Please let me know if anything looks out of sorts.

Thanks,
John

EDIT: It seems it was the social bookmarks widget used that added tracking without notice. John explains better further below on the comments and his article is here.

My Flashblock has found a new... code snippet on some of this site's pages. It shows a swf file from bin.clearsring.com on the site's header.

Here is a screenie:

on the main page i saw this

Sep 28 Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3
Sep 28 Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.17
Sep 24 Mozilla Firefox 3.0.2

error much?

Not sure if it's a request but I'm a big fan of this site and I wonder if there is an actual Windows XP theme made after portableapps. Like the colors are Red and White, and the start button can be the symbol.

Any chance it could happen?

Is there any way to disable the splash screens? I understand that for some there's useful information that scrolls by, but for the most part it just seems like shameless marketing and I find it unnecessary.

Thanks!

I have recently purchased a portable hard drive as I am now working from home.

I can log into my company server from home having setup a 'connect to my workplace' network connection using Remote Desktop.

I was wondering whether, as from time to time I may be at a friends house and whish to check my emails whether it is possible to setup a network connection to my work server and remote desktop log in on my portable drive therefore avoiding having to set it up on every pc I might use.

Thanks

Hi,

i think a warnining label in the portableapps menue if the backup is not up to date (so in the directory of the backup are not a backup newer as x days) would be good for people, who forgot often to make a backup.

of course should be able to deactivate the warning.

is that posible?

One of the most interesting projects here to us is probably the Skype replacement "Ekiga", no windows support yet though. There is much talk on the forums with regards to a skype replacement, i'd like to see one too.

There's lots of projects on this list, some we can use, some we cannot, however we can offer our support to them all.

Dig deep folks.
