General Discussion

Just a general question which I am sure has been raised before. one of the main reasons I like the portable appliances so much is the fact that I can continue to use the same applications that I use at home on my linux box while at work and forced to use windows. the drawback being mainly, firefox, the data I collect on my usb drive such as fav's/contacts in thunderbird etc, cant be tranfered to my linux machine, or can they be. to be able to run on both OS's would be best but just to be able to move favs from thunderbird would be useful

On one of my PCs, when I launch the Portable Apps Menu I get the system tray icon, but can never find the menu on the desktop. On a different PC it is viewable and useable. The trouble PC does have dual screens running nView.
Any clues?

Thanks.

i was tired whem i made my last thread and i wasent thinking straight. crap like that wont happen again. promise!

Hi!
I want to create into my UsbDrive some shortcut icons for all portable applications.
But the shortcuts created with Windows aren´t portable and in other places don´t work.
Can anyone help me please?

Could anybody advice one?

Hi, Nowdays most, if not all, USB flash drives come with preloaded software and formating to some extent. I don't know if I'm fully commited to installing PortableApps so I have a few questions.

1) Does PortableApps rewrite/reformat the entire drive or is it a standalone program?

> a)If so, is there a way to back up/rip ever piece of software/formating that is preloaded on the drive?

2)Does PortableApps also give me the option to save settings/desktop environment or just programs?

I downloaded, installed, and updated Portable Apps Suite and a few others. I love the concept of this as I have two 16 gig flash drives. Here is my problems as a biginner of sorts.

Problem 1.

Hello, I recently bought an 8 gb flash drive and have been looking to get some portable apps on it! I just installed the standard suite to the root directory of my flash drive, howver every time I try to start any of the portable apps exe's I get this error message:

Any ideas?

Is it legal to create a portable launcher for a program that is free, but not open-source?

Since DVDShrink isn't portable (leaves files in app data folder), I was thinking of trying to make a portable launcher for it since I saw one person made one for EAC, which is free, but not open-source.

If I can't, that's cool. If I can, awesome.
