General Discussion

Out of curiosity, is it just me, or did the SourceForge project name change from "PortableApps" to "PortableApps.com"

It is true I left it in my pocket (I looked in there for it but it was not there before putting it in the washer.) So do any of you think the data is intact? The Drive is a PNY Attache. Since there is some important stuff like development stuff for my popular Armogohma Suites.

If anyone wanted to when v2 of the Suites are coming out they should be out be September but I can't make guarantees.

Just a mention but I thought I'd toss the link here anyway.

Ten Things Your IT Department Won't Tell You

I noticed Dev-C++ is no longer here. Why?

I also noticed there is a command prompt portable app. That is interesting, but I already wrote one for myself, thinking I would be one of the few who would want such a thing.

Actually, it is only a C program which calls a batch file, with my desired settings, TITLE, DOSKEY's and PATH.

I shall check this out.. VMWARE @ school here i come!

I've been debating which version of GTK to bundle with Pidgin Portable 2.1 when it is released. Up until now, I've been bundling GTK 2.6.x since it still supports Windows 95/98/Me. However, 2.6 is no longer maintained and 2.10.x has been adding in lots of handy bug fixes with each release. So, it comes down to two choices:

1. Keep bundling 2.6 with the packages and have the products still have some of the old bugs but work on Windows 95/98/Me

2. Bundle 2.10 and have the packages, by default, not work with Windows 95/98/Me

I've noticed on the boards some folks having the problem about including non-official PortableApps programs by just placing them in the PortableApps directory. Although many of these programs have been looked at and determined to run fine off of USB drives, the problem crops up that multiple EXEs in the program folder show up in the PAM. To correct this issue many have created launchers for some of these programs.

How are the portable versions of Firefox and Thunderbird different from their counterparts on the desktop and what all do the portable versions lack or have in comparison to the desktop versions.

Short and sweet: Questions from people like me who are new to Portable Apps.

Hi,
I'm not sure where to post this. But there some good icons for app categories here https://portableapps.com/apps. Right now they are only images, but what if they were put into a dll, or an icon pack so if a user was using PStart or PortableApps.com Suite, with categories. To help organize apps? Maybe? Thanks...
