tablet version of PA?

Submitted by evafan on January 27, 2013 - 5:49am

I was wondering has there been any thought given to making a full screen version of portable apps theme so it can be used on devices like a tablet pc. Even with scrolling screens and other gestures. It would be so cool and sure to get some more attention to PA

Cheers Robeee

Beware of Kelihos-2?

Submitted by gudenov on January 23, 2013 - 10:45pm

I recently noticed some strangeness with the flash drives I use solely at my local library. It was fairly easy to research the reasons for the suddenly-appearing sony.exe file and the .lnk folders at the root level right there along with all the other portableapps folders and exec's, and I've notified them that it looks like their computers are likely infected with the second Kelihos exploit. Fortunately the only other computers they are used with are my Macs so I don't believe there's any serious consequences, but I wanted to at least mention it as a heads-up I guess.

Hello, when I select Check for Updates, begin to download the application and start to install, the application asks the installation language as default I have Spanish (Latin America).
Is there any way to put this language default and automatically select or not ask? Since updating left and stops applications for this reason.
Greetings.

Slow startup on all secondary computers

Submitted by SimonT on January 20, 2013 - 1:16pm

I am running Windows 7 32-bit on all 3 of the computers I'm testing on- two desktops of roughly equal performance, and a netbook.

I set up all of the PortableApps things on my desktop computer, and it is in a Dropbox folder synced to the rest of my computers. Startup time for the PortableApps.com launcher is very fast on this computer- a couple of seconds, no issues whatsoever. I don't have more than, say, 20, apps installed.
