General Discussion

My Request: I would LOVE for PortableApps to let me customize application names and list order on the main menu. I ask for this because I would like to put my most commonly used programs at the top and I would like to be able to remove "PORTABLE" off the application names (because it seems redundant to have 15 cases of the word on a menu for a program with a big logo saying "PortableApps")

As a Freelance graphic designer I whipped up a skin for myself and decided to make it available to everyone:

it would be good they made a WINRAR PORTABLE.

Does cool player support automatic downloading of tags and artwork of mp3 files??
If yes then tell me how.
If no then tell me which one will do.

I could use some help putting this in PortableApps

And is it possible to make it only install to thumb drive?

These options make the download 4 times faster, and much much more reliable.

It takes 15 Seconds to transfer WinMerge_Portable_2.8.paf.exe across the Internet, then my anti-virus (ESET NOD32 2.7) performs an in-depth investigation with the internet frozen solid (and simultaneous downloads suspended) for a further 40 Seconds before it releases its strangle-hold on the system.

I had a thought the other day about how its possible to make windows portable, and i figured that the only way to do it legally (i think?) is to run it in a virtual machine. Then technically you are only using it on one machine (the virtual one), and the windows validation wont have to be done repetitively since the specs appear the same (the virtual machine ones).

Hi all, as most of you know I have had a few apps here over the past 2+ years. These are:

Blender, CamStudio, EasyTAG, Gnumeric, Planner, Python, Battle of Wesnoth, Wink (Launcher) & WorkRave.

Well after deliberation I open up the following for anyone interested to take over as time issues are hampering me and a few core applications I want to spend more focus on.

I tried to download a program with firefox portable and it is a nightmare getting to the firefox directory. I want a script or plug-in that sets the download directory (folder)to X:\firefoxportable\downloads\ where X=usb drive letter or better yet saves the path as a .ini file , Floyd

John I wanted to apologize for the bumps. I have to admit, I've never actually read the forum guidelines. Anyways I won't do it again.

I did notice several of my posts disappeared yesterday that weren't bumps though. Do you know anything about those? I mean I would post and it appeared to go through right, then I would go back to the recent posts page and they wouldn't be there.

I've finally updated the About Us page with all our new folks. I've added in all the current developers with released apps, site admins, forum mods and translators. I used full names for all the folks with updated usernames (I know I'm behind on some of these). I haven't yet linked the translators to their profiles but I'll be working on it.
