General Discussion

There's a certain inconsistency with the screen shots for a lot of apps listed here.

For example:

https://portableapps.com/news/2008-09-11_-_xenon_file_manager_portable_1.5

The screen shot in this page doesn't link to a bigger image.

https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/xenon_portable

but on this page the screen shot does link to a bigger image.

Another thing, if you have javascript disabled you can not view the screen shot.

It just goes to the page where the image was supposed to be and displays this

Page Not Found (404 Error)

I often encounter that all Portable projects must be GPL because otherwise they cannot be hosted on Sourceforge. But on further examination Sourceforge has a list of many licenses. The main ones are:

GNU General Public License (GPL)
GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
BSD License
Public Domain
MIT License Apache License V2.0
Artistic License
Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL 1.1)
Academic Free License (AFL)

What does everyone recommend for synchronizing my portable apps off my USB to my PC?

Ideally, I would like to have one master copy of all my apps (located on a server or USB), so when I sign into a PC or Laptop, it would pull/sync from the master copy and run it locally (for speed purposes or if I forgot my USB drive).

I like Toucan but I'm not sure how to automate the syncing part of it.

Oh, and did I mention I would like it secured too without using Truecrypt (because it requires admin rights). It's a tall order but I'd appreciate your input and advice.

Not entirely sure whether this should be in off topic or not, so sorry if I'm mistaken.

Yesterday was my first day at a new college, unlike my old college, the network is incredibly restrictive compared to my old one, no installing anything, firefox portable just has a broken icon and won't load, no display control panel... The most I can do is run .exes from USB, and change the wallpaper.

I have been following the threads about WinPT, GPG and other portable PGP applications for a while, since a truly portable, stand alone PGP/GPG application would be my current #1 want.

However, for those developing the apps, it seems to be some tough going.

So, I have continued to search...

What about this? http://ppgp.sourceforge.net/

I haven't found any place to put this. Does a place/thread exist where users can report new version? You simply can't have an eye on all applications.

ClaimAV is updated. 0.94

I don't get updates. If I take a look at the report I see

"WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.93.1 Recommended version: 0.94"

I find that with Opera 952 I can no longer download any of the portable apps from Sourceforge....Other downloads from other places work fine. Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks

I'm trying out the portable apps by installing the Suite Lite to a CD-RW (700mb). Yet, when I try to install, a message pops up saying that there is not enough room. I have just reformatted the CD-RW and still I'm unable to install. Is it possible to install to a CD-RW? Thanks

Would it be possible for the next release?

Currently, I have firefox2 and firefox3 installed to portable. On the menu however, both show up "Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition" which is the "product name" at assembly.

Could it be possible that this is changed to read product name only if summery subject is not added? This way, the user can control how it appears on the menu.

Thanks
Mike

They exist freewares softwares similar to the Disk Logon that is free?
