General Discussion

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")

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
