Mat and all Regarding PortableApps.com
... first off I'm not sure everyone knows that a PortableApps.com portable application is NOT the same as most "portable applications" (which are mainly "portable enough" but can still leave residue on the host). PA.c requires not just proven portability but conversion to the PortableApps.com system to qualify fully (they never leave residue). For OUR purposes I'm not sure its needed to go so far. Also, judging here on GG, we have a very high number of NON-Windows users. So WHO, would it be for, it being dominantly for Windows? Regarding PortableApps.com response they "only wanted apps that had specific purposes". Dead right. An app. that does everything is not gonna work there. BUT a wrapped TW inside a "runner" like you can do in TiddlyDesktop, TiddlyServer ot TiddlyWiki Multi-User could... To take an example: Say Thomas wrapped his ToDoNow TW into a self contained "runner"? Well THAT could be a PortableApp.com app. as "TiddlyOrganiser". The point is to promote apps for specific purposes. You don't have to expose folk to the full fright of TW to get people using it for de-limited purposes. Please NOTE that the excellent PortableApps.com menuing system on Windows allows ANY executable to be included. I activate all my main TW from it... *In short, many ways of running TW could be easily made portable and wrap TW into them as specific "apps" so they appear like ONE application and be advertised as such.* Josiah On Saturday, 24 March 2018 10:38:57 UTC+1, Mat wrote: > > Regarding Portableapps - which I don't think was commented on in this > thread but in some other threads, but it seems relevant here: > > People should know I proposed <https://portableapps.com/node/21453> TW > for Portable apps in their forum several years ago.
