General Discussion

Hi all!
A few days ago somebody (an owner of site which provides users with a hosted popup note application for their websites) inquired if I could make a branded version of PNotes that he would be able to provide to his customers. He asked me about rules and restrictions of GPL. I'm also not a expert, but I answered him that application should remain open source and he has to provide his customers with GPL license and ability to obtain the program source code. It seems that he agrees with these conditions. Are there other restrictions I don't remember?

I'm certainly low on the tech pole so I generally need things spelled out to me very clearly. Sorry. I am trying to run a game in Portableapps' FireFox that requires Java. I would like to have it on my USB so I can play it at work (which doesn't allow Java on the comps). Can this happen so it can solely run off of my flash drive? And if so, how?

Thanks for any help!!!!

Evening all,

I'm still trying to troubleshoot this issue, but thought I would pass along a heads-up.

Hi,

Is there a way to auto-start the PortableApps menu on a usb thumb drive when inserting it into the computer?

Thanks

I don't know where else to post this and tried to search for related postings but was unable to find anything...

I decided to reorganise the "Current Projects" page on Ryan's development wiki, which some of us use, and I added a section for Launcher only apps. Since the development releases page on PortableApps doesn't have a section for launcher only's, anyone that has released a launcher only app might want to post it here.
I went through the first few pages in the Beta forums and added four apps, just to get it started.

HERE is the list of Launcher-Only releases.

SourceForge.net is performing maintenance today from 11am to 3pm NY time. During this time most of the site will be read-only and logging in is disabled so we won't be able to make any releases. I'm also holding back the story asking people to nomimate us for a 2008 Community Choice Award because that whole system will be offline as well.

It seems some people are having issues following the conventions we've been using for development tests and pre-releases, so I'd like to reiterate them for all.

The version of a portable app is always the same as the version of the app being packaged. So if you're packaging Acme 2.5, it's gonna be Acme Portable 2.5.

Hi,

I've looked at all the applications available on this site and it would be really good to have them all just in case. Is it possible to download them all in one package or do I have to download each one manually? Thanks in advance

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")
