List of non-PA apps installed?shookmon (Homepage)
- August 24, 2011 - 3:00pm
This might not be the right place for this, but... I've been using PA for several years and have accumulated quite a hodge-podge of portable software on my stick. Some current PA, some really old PA that doesn't show up on the website anymore, and a few non-PA that I just installed alongside so they show up in PAM. I want to clean house and get rid of old 'stuff' or upgrade it. I'd really like to see if any of the non-PA or off list old PA apps have a new PA version. I don't see an easy way to get PAM to tell me what it found on the stick but can't find a current entry to update to. Is this info stored somewhere as part of the new 'Update Apps' feature? Thanks!!

No
There are way too many apps out there which are portable, can be placed on a stick and carried around that it would be too much work for the updater to check them all.
The updater only checks officially released apps. Not even the development test releases from the forums here. Thats the way it is an I reckon thats the way it will be until someone writes an updater for the rest.

Possible
It would be possible to generate such a list using the code in the updater. That may actually be useful for folks with lots of older apps or apps in unsupported locations looking to switch things over.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks!!
John, you're correct in what I'm asking for, just a list of what's on the stick that can't be auto-updated.
Thanks!!
There. I have a signature. I hope you're happy now.
