General Discussion

Anyone know of any portable MP3 players? I saw VLC on here but I'd prefer an audio only player.

i installed the software, and now the stick is dead.

anyone know why?

but I'm going to ask it anyway. I bought a 2mb Sandisk USB loaded with U3. The software choices they offer are a bit limited. If I Uninstall the U3 software and just start over by downloading the portable apps suite, will it have the same functionality or does it need a U3 type interface to run?

I haven't used one of these before.

Thanks.

Please don't yell at me - I did search before posting this.

I've read the posts and it seems that all encryption software requires admin priviledges so I just wanted to find out what others are doing for creating a minimum level of security. If we can't encrypt - then what can we do? Please don't list only free solutions. I don't care if I have to pay for something if it will work.

I have several questions:

In these days, I'm thinking to create a portable apps repository system (for example, Dev-C++'s devpak or linux repositories) to simplify install and update software in ASuite 1.5 and fork wPPL 1.5.

But I want to create this project not only for Portable Apps (if John agree) or winpenpack.com and ASuite or wPPL, but other website (winpenpack.com, portablefreeware.com, etc...) and launchers (PortableApps Menu, Liberta AutoStart and others launcher app open source), too.

John (or others), do you want to colloborate for this project?

I guess many of you will know Kaspersky Anti-Virus. It`s imho (!) a good and scanner. You can get more informations about their products on http://www.kaspersky.com/.

It`s a commercial product, their is a free trial version but them want you to buy a license.

This instructions will explain how you can use Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.x in a p ortable way.

http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=11188 - this is a thread in their offical forum. It explains basic things about the beta test of version 7.x, there you will find the download and a ~60 day license key aswell too.

hello everyone.

Неплохо было бы объедениться и открыть топик по переводу портативных программ, таких как KeepPass Nvu & KompoZer

Yes, I am a newbie, but some thoughts I had --

A FAQ page could help diminish *some* of the repeated and repeated and repeated queries. ( I know, not all repeats, that is just how us newbies are --- weren't you like that once?)

Also, something I saw at another software's wiki that might be useful here --
a list of requested features, users add to the list and/or vote for additional features.

How about a list of applications that have already been requested that CANNOT be adapted for PortableApps?

How about a list of applications that are already "in the pipeline"?

Hi,

A suggestion for the forums:

It could be a limitation of Drupal, in conjunction with hardware resource issues, but these forums are not very easy to navigate and lack a lot of navigation features I find in other forums (eg vBulletin-based ones).
As the site grows and more postings occur, these navigation and organisational features become more important. Simple things like:

• Viewing new posts
• Mark posts as "read"
• Adding the forum name to the Recent Posts list
• Options to view topics in either threaded or list mode.
