Is there a way to add applications to the Rejected apps list? Or if not would you consider allowing users to add to it. I ask because I have tested applications that aren't Stealth (for example) and I have no idea where to add them. At the moment I am writing an entry in the PortableFreeware Discussion sub-forum.

Suggestion: Upgrading the FAQ to include the Add/Edit function, how does an application become public? What does R5/R4 mean? How to search for unrated applications? I can't find my application I just added! Why can't I edit? I added an application but I can't edit it?

Because for those who are active and read the posts back in Nov/Dec 09, understand how the system works, but for those just joining I think are little confused to how wonderful you have made the system open to us Portable enthusiasts.

I am also sure users here would be willing to create the FAQ sections. For example I just created a (very rough) post about "How does an application become public in the database."

Is it posibillity to add (32/64bit) to program entry to make it more clear to understanding the requirements in future ??

ex: Requirements: WinXP / Vista / Win7 (32/64bit)

This is a suggestion

Since there are two components to 64-bit compatibility (whether an app works on 64-bit and whether it's offered in a 64-bit build), I would suggest a category listing one of five levels of 64-bit compatibility:

None : Does not run on 64-bit OS
Limited : 32-bit only - runs with errors or lacks features on 64-bit OS
Compatible : 32-bit only - fully compatible with 64-bit OS
64-bit build available : 32-bit and 64-bit versions - 32-bit build functions properly on 64-bit OS
64-bit build required : 32-bit and 64-bit versions - 64-bit build required for full functionality on 64-bit OS

I don't think that the fourth level is very common yet - most developers are only making 64-bit builds if they must - but it will probably become more common.

Suggestion: Show on the main page next to "USERNAME R5 [Add Entry/Logout]" the total number of applications suggested and added e.g. (5/2) Or someway of telling how many applications the user has added and suggested in the database. Obviously I can count by using [USERNAME] but these also have the rated apps too.

Thanks for the suggestions! They have all been added to my todo list. Unfortunately, I am a little tied up with First Life at the moment, so I will come back to them when I have more time.



There's currently no way for a user to add to the rejected apps list. I am toying with some ideas, but nothing concrete yet. So writing to the forum is the only way to go for now. I might even decide to remove the rejected apps list in the future if I can't think of a good way to make it group editable.

I have updated this announcement to include more information about the submission process.

Feel free to add more information to it!

I am thinking of creating a separate forum for hosting reject apps, and the search results for rejected apps will take directly from the topics in this forum.

I will find a way to dump the database for rejected apps to this forum, and cut the link after that.

What do you think?

I would definitely welcome this new addition. I found that by even adding rejected applications can sometimes spur on the developer to create a Portable version.

What do you mean with the @ operator. I would like to be able to see all application, whether they have enough votes or not.

Type "[@]" in the TPFC search box (without the quotes) then click Search, and you will see _all_ apps, whether they have enough votes all notes.

thanks

Suggestion: Add the same clickable link of the users favourites that you get in the "updated/added by" field, to the "suggested by" field.

e.g. Suggested by CLICKABLE_FAVS - Updated by CLICKABLE_FAVS

I got rank 2 when I reached 75 posts (not 100). Is this a bug?

It is a bug. Thanks for letting me know.

The function I was using was rounding up 0.5 to 1, so 75/50 = 1.5 was rounded up to 2. This has been fixed.
