General Discussion

I was wondering if anyone has any of those tiny laptops that run on winxp, like QDO and thier ilk. Has anyone used the portable apps on them? I would presume that they work the same as it would on normal PCs. Screen size would seem to be my only concern.

It seems like this page is a little out of date: https://portableapps.com/apps/compatibility

It does not have a lot of the newer released Portable Apps. Particularly I'm interested in Wine/Linux compatibility.

Are there plans to update this page? Does anyone else have any information on newer Portable Apps' compatibility with Wine/Linux?

Thanks.

has anyone tried the "rohos mini drive" encryption software? i did see it come up at another posting, but it was just a mention--i am looking to see if someone has 'real' experience using it...

on the typing app on this post?

I know typefaster is portable but what about the other's mentioned in the post.
thanks

I know it has been covered various times but nothing concrete happened. So I'll sum it up...

How many developers are currently working on the Portable Apps (1.5/2.0) menu? Are they the developers of all known previous Mod's?

When can we expect the 1.5 Beta and the updated descriptions? This month? 3 months? 6 months?

What is the reason for the delay? Is the new format description not ready? Is there no 1.5 Alpha?

Can we please skip v1.1 and move on to 1.5/2.0?

I use Stopzilla(Please, don't get insulting with comments like no one uses it) and it tells me Media-Codec.D was detected when I ran the most recent paf version of Keepass.

I set StopZilla to allow it. What infotrmation can I send to the StopZilla folks to have Media-Codec.D allowed by default?

Thanks

"The best things on your USB key are free. The open-source PortableApps Suite is a free 89MB download that installs Firefox, the Thunderbird e-mail client, the Gaim instant messenger, the Sunbird calendar app, and the OpenOffice.org office suite—basically all you need to get work done on the road. If you are using a smaller USB key, a 30MB "Lite" version uses the more compact AbiWord word processor instead of the full OpenOffice.org.

To make:
Start Command Prompt. (Start->Run->cmd)
type in cd\(general path to your file) e.g like "cd\documents and settings\user\desktop"
just where it is at, not its exact location.

here is what u type if it is just in the C:\ location
Type "attrib" (filename or folder with complete path) +s +h
the +s stands 4 system file
the +h stands for hidden

To undo what u did do the exact opposite

To remove: type "attrib" c:\(file u chose) -s -h

for other locations besides C:\

Type "cd\(general path to your file)" then do as follows

I found this tutorial while searching for portable apps. i have read it and it may be usefull to someone. i am currently using so i may be able to make portable apps in the near future. here is the link (Link Removed due to certain issues) once this gets sorted out, ill put it back up.

Just use 7-zip to extract it. hope this helps someone.

Hello,

thanks to PortableApps.com, in the last year I've moved my digital life from a couple of computers to a single pen drive.

Unfortunately, I'm still struggling to find a good portable solution for my contacts.

I've been using Outlook for many years and in the last months I've moved ToDo(s) and Calendars to a portable application.

But I cannot find an application that can import my contacts.

I've read this thread
https://portableapps.com/node/4240
where Thunderbird is suggested.
