SanDisk Cruzer has wrong timestamp from DST change

Submitted by medlink on November 6, 2007 - 2:22pm

Hi all,

I normally keep a backup of the files on my USB drive using SyncBack. Well, I tried to take one today and all the files on my drive are one hour ahead! What's up with that! My USB drive is still on DSTime! BTW, the time on my PC is correct and updated correctly this weekend. I even had my USB drive plugged in!

Is anyone else having this problem? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Java is the best portable solution

Submitted by jobsmarc on November 5, 2007 - 6:43am

Java is cross-platform, most of Java Apps don't need install(unpack and use), don't read/write Windows registry, don't modify any files except it's profile, don't copy any files but it's install folder, they only depents Java VM.

So many desktop apps is based on Java. eg: Azureus, Eclipse, BlogBridge, CrossFTP, jEdit, JamP, etc. And also, there are so many server/web apps based on Java, eg: Tomcat, JBoss, JavaDB/Derby, HSQLDB, H2, db4o, and other FTP/LDAP/DNS server software. We can use web apps to manage our infomations, in many instance, that's better than desktop apps.

What's with the orange donation button? It looks so much worse than the one which matches the new splashes. (Example of the orange is an app's page on the left, example of the good one is included with FFP's or Toucan's help.html)

Menu forum?

Where's the best place to post a question relating to the menu? The individual portable apps have their own forums, but there isn't one for the menu itself. It isn't an Other App, I'm sure. Smile

What is needed to make a portable app showup on a the portable menu/

Submitted by chobo2 on November 1, 2007 - 6:20pm

Hi

I have a couple programs that don't show up on my portable menu. These have I have are portable but when I try to add them to the portable menu 1.1 beta it does not work.

The software is not really legal since it is not open source the program is free and is a messenger program.

I am not sure why it is not showing up.
