The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Wow! Just found this in the latest news section. I'm very impressed, though I have yet to test it thoroughly! I'm so glad I may finally have found a replacement for FreeFileSync! I really liked that program but it just became a nuisance trying to make it portable. Thank you so much for all your effo...

Although it would be great for TPFC to integrate the SPS standard, it would be enough for "those who help out with updates" to create/update SPS files for SyMenu. But convincing them it's worthwhile is another thing! Perhaps if there were enough demand? Gian is struggling to develop and ma...

I've recently come across SyMenu's recent update regarding the new(ish) SPS system. I'm just curious if those in charge of updating the apps here on TPFC would consider creating/updating a simple text file using the SPS Builder app from SyMenu? Essentially, it's a simple matter of filling in fields ...

Thanks for taking the time to explain, I really hope this takes off as it would not only give serious competition for PA.com, but would actually surpass them. I'm looking forward to the future of SyMenu

Thank you for the explanation, it helped understand things a bit better ;) One thing, for me, the 'Get apps online' button is a bit ambiguous. Perhaps 'Update App SPS' would be a better label for the function the button performs? I realise it's early stages, but do you plan on making this function a...

I'm still none the wiser as to how this works! Are you saying that an app won't show updates unless you have a new SPS file for that app that tells SyMenu there's an update?

I didn't realise the PAF format would cause such problems. I managed to locate the PAF install window from SyMenu and went to first attempt an install of FirefoxPortable, ChromePortable and ThunderbirdPortable as a test to see how the SyMenu would work when JTH updates these on PA.com. ie, would SyM...

Do you plan on adding the PortableApps.com catalogue? If so I can make a start on that if you like.

So it's not meant to update but rather to simply inform that an update is available? Is it your intent to make this automated at a later stage?

Thanks for the reply. So, the SPS Builder is really meant for developers, is that what what you're saying? I personally don't have time to keep loads of apps up to date, though I could create the SPS files for a starter. Isn't it possible for the SPS to be updated by itself somehow when updating the...

I've been wondering if something like this would ever surface. Love the idea great job. Understandably, this still being early stages and all, I find the interface a little confusing, as well as the fact I'm not completely certain what this does. Your first post claims this basically installs any po...
