Is it possible for the installer to use the directory it's in (ie. the directory it was downloaded to) for the install directory if it doesn't find a PortableApps drive? This is what it use to do before (7-zip extractor) it got 'smart' (NSIS).

This shouldn't be too hard to implement, and it would help me tremendously.

I was wondering, where can somebody learn how to use NSIS around here?

Hi John,

Either I'm getting confused with all the forums or I have just forgotten how to attach a file/screen shot to a forum post here...

I also cannot find any hostoric post on how to do this, so can you please let me know how this is done?

I want to include a screen shot of a weird error that I'm getting in the launcher.

Regards
Paul

Hi everyone...

I LOVE Thunderbird.... though I have looked a lot for an ideally sync-able or import-export-able GREAT open source portable-able contacts program....

Any ideas???

Much appreciated!!!

thanks

Hello all. I am looking for a decent USB flash drive (4GB+) to run portable apps from. I did a lot of reading of reviews on the net but I can't come to a solid conclusion. Currently the OCZ Rally2 Turbo is the fastest, but prices are high right now. Also, as this is a new model, the competition hasn't caught up with OCZ yet. When it does, I'd imagine prices to fall. Is this a bad time to buy? I don't have a lot of cash to spend, I just want a fairly quick and reliable drive for my money.

Thanks for any help.

I am trying to add Skype to my portable apps and cannot seem to find an easy way to have it kick-off with a simple click to a portable apps menu. Skype offers portability by using command line parameters: "Skype.exe /datapath:data /removable". But how to get the command line parameters included as part of the command!?

Some things I have tried and some of their problems are:
1)Create a batch file called .bat or .cmd - but then it isn't listed in the portable apps menu (besides which having a command window flash up looks ugly and unprofessional).

How do u change where your program saves its settings? I am running the updates for Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder. Im trying to get the files to be saved in an ini file or an xml. if you have any questions, let me know

Hello to all PortableApps users.
PortableApps Suite is very good and useful but I can't change my USB Flash Drive's name. I's name is PortableApps.com but I want to change it.
When I try right click and click on "Change Name" button in the menu and write a new name, I doesn't change.

Is there a way to change the flash drive's name?
Why it's name is PortableApps.com? It's my flash drive, isn't portableapps.com's.

Thanks for all replies and solutions.

I heard some company will buy clamwin av. So if it does came true then it will not be open source?
