QEMU Manager !?

Submitted by Pheromeo on February 25, 2007 - 8:47am

I'm new here and this is my second day in your forum.

first of all thanks for your wonderful collection of portable apps and second that I can't understand is why don't you use QEMU Manager which is a portable GUI for QEMU to build your own compact virtual machine and run what ever you need on your virtual pc ????

in this way all your data is safe from infection by virus and making backup is as easy as copying your virtual hard disk file.

Very Odd shortcut behavior !!!

I have a created a short cut on my flash drive in the root Dir:

PStart[Home]
"H:\Documents\NonU3Apps\PStart\PStart.exe"

realizing that this would only work on my Home machine.

I plugged the drive into my machine at work.

The drive became "K:" as was expected.

I double clicked on the shortcut, expecting an error.
It was my intent to creat a new shortcut for the work machine.

I received NO ERROR. PStart launched as normal!!!
The shortcut CHANGED TO:
"H:\Documents\NonU3Apps\PStart\PStart.exe"

I tried this on another machine.
The drive became "G:"

If anyone knows the link for this, could you please give it to me. Thanks.

What is PortableApps.com?

Submitted by dnote on February 22, 2007 - 6:52am

Hi,

First of all my compliments for this great site and collection of portable applications!

But, what actually is PortableApps.com?

A platform to promote the portable app concept?
A platform to promote the PortableApps Suite product?

I'm asking this because I recently made a application I publish portableapp compatible (PoiEdit, a shareware app to edit and download gps locations=points of interest). Is PortableApps.com a catalog of available portable apps, and could I get my application listed in it? Or do you suggest other sites for this?

PortableApps Menu

Submitted by Patrick Patience on February 21, 2007 - 5:08pm

On the home page of this site, the screenshot of the PortableApps menu shows it has another button besdie the "x" button, I'd assume this is an eject button, my suite did not come with this button, but it would be very handy. Is this command not currently installed in the suite, or is it not availible at all? Can anyone help me out?

Good Light Weight PDF Reader

Submitted by learn2laugh on February 21, 2007 - 10:58am

Hi all, this is my first post so bear with me. I have been looking for an alternative to Foxit Reader because of its license. I found a program that is very young, but seems to fit the bill. It is very light weight and very fast. I am in no way affiliated with the project, but just a happy user. It is SumatraPDF
