PortableApps.com Platform

Can I use a download manager to download openoffice? The server must support 'resume'. Does anyone know if the server supports this facility.

Thanks

Hi,

Can openoffice portable be run effectively from a CD-R.

I intend to download onto a flashdrive from a friend's faster (broadband) machine, then to install to a CD-R.

If CD-R media are not suitable, please can you suggest a CD media that would be more suitable.

Thanks

Ps. Can we change our passwords to something of our choice?

I've just downloaded and installed the suite. Now I find that every app is outdated so I am back and d/l every app and doing another install. I have bandwidth caps unfortunately. This has cost bandwidth (113Mb for suite plus 132Mb for updated apps). The suite should save time, not add to it.

Can the suite be updated to include the latest version of each app?

In case the title isn't clear enough:

Back in October I downloaded and installed vs 1.1 on an 8GB Sandisk thumbdrive. It went fine and everything worked, however after I did that my sandisk only showed 4GB available total instead of the 8GB that I had on it before hand. Why is this a problem now? I didn't really notice until recently since I had it sitting next to my PC and had not used it but maybe a few times after the install.

So I have started to learn how to use GIMP and I figured that a new PortableApp Menu theme would be a good starting project. Since I an a noob I broke down the original and rebuilt it. For the most part everything is coming along great but there are a few issues I am having. First, i cant get the drive_space_slider to line up properly and than there are white lines on the left and top that I can not get rid of.

Also I was curious( not that I dislike the PortableApps logo) how can you change the PortableApps logo in the top left?

Is this a John T. Haller famous app or is someone else compiling the code, where is the website?

I was lucky to find an installer.

Thank you

This theme is as classic as can be but it has some very special touches to it. etc when you click on most of the buttons, they "click in with the background". Please try this theme out.
PS: I really didnt make it, my friend made it for me.

Hello,

I'm trying to make a theme for portable apps. Butt when I save the background_top.bmp it still shows that pink background. I tried different settings butt that didn't help. So my question at what settings do you have to save the .bmp file.

A little preview for you to comment also

I downloaded the PortableApps.com suite, and it included Firefox 2.x and OpenOffice.org 2.4, even though FF 3.0.6 and OO.o 3.0 are both available as standalone PA Downloads. I was wondering, why aren't the updated versions packaged with the suite?

I've done some searching, and I haven't found a lot of info on this, other than references to the XRX mod.

I'd like to be able to specify applications that will auto-start when I first start up the PA menu. Specifically, I have a desktop replacement app which I'd like to use every time I start up the menu. Also, it would be nice to open Firefox automatically, too, since I usually go straight for it.
