Save the settings in pendrive?

Submitted by lorfirewall on June 25, 2008 - 6:55pm

Hello, I'm new here. Use PortableApp very often and is a program of the best to handle a pendrive.

Let me make you a question.
There are programs that use some configurations that are stored in "," on my PC, but to take the pendrive to another PC, I do not have that configuration, would have to copy all configurations of all programs to put them on your PC to use that vaig The pendrive, but many are.
There is some possibility that the settings are kept in a folder of simulating pendrive ke is the PC?

Hi everybody,

I came across a application called EjectUSB.

This little application can eject your usb device by terminating all the other applications running from it and then safely remove our hardware.

Now if Possible try to integrate this application into the Portable Apps Menu (by replacing the close button.)

I note that there has been some discussion regarding supporting Linux, is this development still active/underway?

Also, will the applications run natively or will the implementation use an emulation layer such as Wine?

Hello everybody,
I have developped a new portable software (a sticky note like freeware) and I would like to submit it to this site. How can I do it ?
For now, it is a single zip file containing the executable plus some data files (already downloadable on my site). How can I made it compatible with "portable apps." ?
Thanks for any help.
