General Discussion

I was wondering if anybody knew if there was a way to change the order of the apps as they are listed in the menu. I wanted to group the apps by type (ie. all the utilities together).
Thank you in advance.

I was wondering if there was any open source spyware protection, cause it would be nice to have on a usb, since if u have seen my previous forum, https://portableapps.com/node/11390 then u will know y this would be usefull to me. it would help me feel more secure, because our school computers have been infected with DARKUSB and who knows what else there might be that comes with it. Anywho any links or names of spyware protecting software would be appreciated.

Heise security are running a very interesting article at the moment about a USB drive they have tested.

It claimed to be 128 bit AES encrypted, but the testing showed that the data was actually only protected by a simple XOR cypher.

Hi John,

I understand the concern about licenses, copyright and trade marks and so you should. Bus I have a few remarks on this regard:

1. First how do you know in general that people did not ask permission from Mozilla and got it? In fact, how do we know you got the permission to redistribute FireFox while others have not? Would it be impossible for individuals to obtain permission while companies are more likely to obtain permission? Is there a way to check who has permission or not?

Hi there.
I wonder what is the process for submission of apps for portableapps.com ? I have made a lot of portable apps (in fact, all my apps have portable versions) , but they are not in beta, so no need to drop a message to the beta posting forum - or it is still the process ?

Michael.

I'm having a heck of a time downloading PortableApps and have tried finding the answer on the board to no avail. Am using Firefox 2.0 and want to install PortableApps to my Sans Disck Cruser 2 GB flashdrive. I have the U3 Launchpad installed on the flashdrive.

When I try to install the program on my desktop directory or my flashdrive I get an error message saying the PortableApps ex is "not a supported archive". I'm unable to install download on either my desktop G drive where I keep my downloads or to the flashdrive.

Greetings,

I have Menu on the bottom-right side, I cannot close it and I cannot stop the device before disconnecting it. Any idea why?

I keep getting :

You are not authorized to view this page

every time I try to download a file. I get it with IE Opera and FF.

I have removed my signature a while ago (opps, I'm sorry for the previous mistake and it won't happen again). This may be strange, but today I was going to create a signature to answer to digitxp's signature when I found out that my option for creating a signature has disappeared.
Was because of my error that a signature was forbidden to me, or is it a bug? It isn't a big deal, but I'd like to know.

If this was expected please remove this tread after informing me. (I didn't even know if I should create this on Off-topic or in here).

Thanks in advance

hi all...
i want to download one of the open source image editors.
I was originally using GIMP, but it is not too new and the interface is sorta boring.
Is there an editor that you guys could recommend?
thanks
