General Discussion

Anyone know how fast this would be? Currently running PA on a thumb drive (not the best, not the worst) but it's still kinda slow and it gets irritating sometimes.

EDIT: Should mention, the ipod would be plugged-in with the official apple sync/charge dock station

how can i rename the name of a product i downloaded? There are a few programs that have names too long for the window. I have tried to rename the file by clicking on its title, but the change is not reflected.

I thought it would be cool if someone could make a search engine for Firefox that would go in the search box. I do a lot of searching, and finding, on Portableapps.com, so it would be useful if someone could make one.

Hi all,
I have the PortableApps suite and use them travelling. Great stuff.
I'm also a pilot and there's a flight planning application it would be great to have portable. Likewise with a diving application that calculates decompression times, etc. I have a licence & paid-up keys for them.
How can I get them packaged to be portable / who can I ask to see if they can be made portable.
There won't be much demand for them, so I'm willing to pay if its not going to cost an arm & a leg.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
John

Hi to all, im new to this but have been using the Portableapps menu for a long time now, its very very good but I have a question, you see, I saw that it is possible to make categories folders and put things inside those categories, I mean put programs that are similiar inside those categories, the problem is that the little icon of the folfer is not displayed, just have a picture that says ico and nothing else, is there a way I can make it work??

Thanks in advance

I think it's time to create a section "portableapps for admins". Many times we have admin rights on target computer anyway.

There is many nice software which needs because of their task admin rights to work.

Currently every individual needs to convert his needed applications (requiring admin rights) into portables itself or to go to the competitors (portablefreeware.com).

What "portableapps for admins" would be useful?
- well, very similar advantages to standard portable apps
- easy and fast install, just copy
- you can spread your software from computer to computer very easy

1) Does the concept of portable apps exist for Linux in the same way as for Windows? i.e. install once to a folder on host X & then copy that folder however/wherever you like & run on any host Y, Z etc with no install needed on Y, Z etc.?
