manu Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 there are many of us who like portable softwares, so i strongly believe there should be a seperate post for it on nsaneforums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 What are you suggesting?- Have a subforum in the Software Updates for portable applications on nsane.forums?- Have a topic/post dedicated to portable applications on nsane.forums?Any and all suggestions are welcomed :D Just want to know what you are suggesting ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I think where it is necessary and there exists a functional portable, it should be uploaded in the usual "Downloads" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Well it a bit of duplication scenario... but I believe, to have completely separate section of portable apps is great idea! Imagine, you got call from Ms Missy, ahhh- PC crashed, just go to section, collect as what is needed and away you go...(on that note, my library is always outdated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Ms. Missy should bring her ass as well as her computer to my place if she wants help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I believe this has been discussed in the Staff Forum before, not sure what the exact outcome was... We might look into it again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyo Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 what though if she's ugly one? :oMeh I'm almost 33. Repairing some computer is enough damage to my free time... complications that usually result from sexual relationships are keeping my libido in check. Been there, done that, move on, nothing new to see here... But! As every man alive knows, it's almost impossible to pass on fine ass...However, I prefer even the fine chicks would bring money, too... they're kinda used to people making them favours because of the looks.

HX1 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Well on a side note.. the new Portable Apps Platform.. actually offers an internal application updater... for 2.0 Beta 5 installations.. I personally think that a section by itself would be redundant as Most applications which come with a portable version, already have links posted for them.. BUT on that same note if your looking at which applications are available, it would be easier if you were going to a section which lists them all.. Would narrow down hitting a dry hole on the apps you would like to have but are not available as portable.. BUT then you have the PortableApps.com website which does that anyway. The only area where this would actually pick up slack would be where you have a portable version available, which is not a direct manifestation of PortableApps.com.. or comes in a form which is portable by itself...So, currently - I would say that listing the portable application has been done as point of convenience... for everyone here.. But not managing it in a way which separates it from the rest of the software .. sort of makes it harder to just go see what is all is available as portable applications to download. ( Unless this comes up in the search results - I haven't tried that to see yet ) There are quite a few different types of portable installations as well.. Some which follow PortableApps release standards...( and have an updater ) some made with Thinstall.. ( which can be glitchy and problematic.. usually not official ), some from the original source... and few more versions of that... Many of them have problems.. and some even infected or set off AV detection... that I have found available out there.. so your looking at really combing through and doing some major work and testing by everyone.. which can distract and overload on that level alone... and they all have to be maintained.. and updated just as often as regular programs..I think it would be cool for two things on this subject to happen.. IF it were to change... A section in 'Downloads Index' .. which could be a gathering of all available current listings of the known portable versions which are already here...hosted or known...which could even link back to the original posting where portable versions are already listed...Topic for Portable Applications to be listed.. and maintained/discussed by the community themselves...This would simply make it easier to find what is already here.. without adding the work of searching and finding more applications to host or link to. ( Narrow down some of the work for someone who is searching for portable apps.. and make it faster - nothing has to be really changed but an added listing/section to pre-existing area of the site ).. and the Topic here would be a great place for people to post about there favorite apps and possibly even a pool to pull from, if this area were to ever be expanded.. Plus a listing of even more applications here would be a good place to start for people who are looking for something in particular.. All links and available versions would have to be tested and approved however.. because of the nature of a ton of apps out there which are actually containing infections or simply do not work properly... The Topic could be something as simple as a Portable Applications Sticky, which is easy to find.. in the software discussion area.. Plus mods.. platforms.. launchers... all of that could be shared in one place as well.. instead of being strewn throughout the same Software section.. I mean search is great right.. but its not always as good as a List or Topic... or as quick...On the downside I see it being just as complicated and involved really on the same level as regular software.. to be properly comprehensive to warrant a full listing.. or given its own place on the site.. I mean if its worth doing then you should do it correctly... Wide range of apps and app types.. So it could be extra work... I mean everyone can have a different set of apps and it can range from working on a system.. to simply having what you need to take applications with you.. ( because we can't stand being able to do something and be on someone else's system and not be able to do it because.. because novice says.. ' whaaaauuuuuuttt?? ' - LOL or we are limited by crappy software which has been installed ) ... Ranges from Data Security to Text editors to Portable Servers.. System modifications.. It has just as wide of an implication as all of the normal software does... One of the reason I see it a proper idea to simply list them with the regular listing.. for sake of starting its own site.. as Portable.. but having a list of them easy to go to .. would be cool.. and a place to discuss, add, and share as time progresses.. in the forums.. would be a great idea.. When there is no central location.. your at the mercy of gathering pieces all over.... and some, especially a portable beginner.. wants to see what they have out there and if they should search for what they want... Rather than expecting it and hitting a dead hole... and it could also save them from being infected in the long run or running into problems by having listing which is something they can rely on to be clean and safe.I say.. Topic first... then as it becomes comprehensive from where we are currently with Portable Applications...( including maintaining and updates ) - this is a big issue for portable applications.. Why PortableApps is on most application listings... once it grow to a comprehensive level.. then FP listing in the Downloads Index.. drop-down ..created by Admin..Site Mods.. which covers a broad scope. ( but something that will be easy to maintain and quick to update.. )IMHO... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*dcs18 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think that portable applications . . . . . . . . . . . should most certainly be included - doesn't matter whether separately or concurrently. What really does matter is that the categories & sub-categories be appropriately classified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
