Hi @all,
yesterday I set my language settings for markomlm to German.
All was ok (German Strings for all stuff).
But today, after loggin in I'm not able to see content or to modify my settings ,only blank pages...

@John or somebody with drupal access: Please set the language settings for markomlm back to en.

Thank You!

Hi

I'm trying to convert a set of documents containing research for a physics coursework from word documents over to HTML so that they'll easily link over to other websites, and will open files from the CD which I'll eventually hand in via references.

I tested the flash drives I own, and found that the one I was using for portable apps wasn't the one with the fastest read/write times & access times by a fair margin. So, I moved all my portable apps to the faster drive.

However, when I used the new drive (using Firefox), I actually found it to be slower. There seemed to be more & longer pauses in using Firefox while it accessed the flash drive.

This doesn't make sense, unless there's more to it than read/write speed. Can anyone comment? Is this all in my head or is there more to it?

How do I control file associations? I used to be able to go to the Windows Explorer at Tools\Folder Options and specify what executable would run documents. Usually I did this in conjunction with copying Portable Apps to my work hard drive, but last night they erased everything, and now I can't set file associations: I can navigate through the Tools\Folder Options like before, but when I select a Portable App, my WinXP box acts like I never told it anything.

Is this an Administrator thing that I'm stuck with?

Hi all,

There seems to be a strange similarity between a possible study for the windows 7 start menu and the PortableAppsMenu.

I just found a blog

in which the author states:

Hi All,

I am looking for a launcher that does not attempt to write to my usb drive on exit. I prefer to just remove the drive and sometimes forget to close the launcher software. If I try to then close the application, I get an error because the path is now invalid.

I've tried all the top launchers and the only one that does not do this is PortableApps 1.0 which I do not like for the lack of customizable features. Perhaps one app has a setting that I may have missed that prevents the launcher from writing to disk EVERY TIME it closes?

Hi,

I wanted to add a comment to this topic:

Dia - A program for drawing structured diagrams
https://portableapps.com/node/1347

...but there was no Reply link, so the topic has probably been closed.

However, the modification technique the guy suggested in the topic had an error, and I wanted to correct it in case anyone else (like me!) is trying to find out how to run Dia portably.

Here's my post (below), in case you can add it there.

Thanks, Ander

I installed portable apps onto a portable hard drive with XP. At work it is a network with a Windows NT Operating Sytem and so it won't open at work. Is there anything I can do to change the settings to open it on NT.

Thanks

You know where to discuss thinstall support topics? I thought it`s a good idea to ask here. Or in this forum, is it somewhere allowed/good place?

No I'm not asking for a tool... I just found one. I thought I'd share it because I recall a bunch of you guys have been looking for something like this, so here it is. My apologies if this has been posted 7013 times before.

I haven't tried it yet but it sounds promising. FYI I found it via http://www.portablefreeware.com/
