Portable Python

Submitted by mbreese on March 7, 2024 - 1:24pm

I am looking for a portable python app. it is not listed in the available apps in my portableapp setup, but a search shows there was one. The last post in the forum for it was a few years ago. Is it still available?

Missing texts on the cookie buttons

Submitted by Barrby on February 16, 2024 - 3:35am

Going to portableapps.com site I see the "standard" cookie confirmation request. If I choose Manage options, I can "somehow" (one or two checkboxes per option without explanation) edit my choices and I should confirm it somehow. But there are three ovals (micro-buttons) without any text only! White one, black and green. How the user should to know (without studying HTML source), what to choose?

BTW, I didn't find any contact / FAQ / forum ... about the portableapps.com site... Sad

[Closed] Clear history when LIbrewolf closes re-enabled

Submitted by nolanoro on February 14, 2024 - 1:16pm

When an update is performed, will portableapps re-enable "Clear History"? I just opened Librewolf to a blank session.

I read the disclaimer in the settings. I've been keenly aware that I must be sure to disable "Clear History" to maintain my session and history. We can see that I have "Remember Browsing and Download History" enabled. But now, 'Clear History when Librewolf closes" is selected. Why would I have both selected?

Not sure, but I also "believe" that I created the related about:config commands. If I did, they are no longer in effect.

Opera Developer Portable 108.0.5063.0

Submitted by AxelMoor on February 4, 2024 - 8:31pm

Hey guys, I just did it: I finished the tests a few hours ago. I managed to make a portable version of Opera Developer (the missing piece) based on the PortableApps.com Opera GX as a template. As a portable app enthusiast and Developer version fan, it felt like completing a crucial quest! Please, John, this is not a self-promotion - this is a try to cover a long-time need. I made it for my personal use.

Any way to disable the annoying message that my app did not close properly last time?

Submitted by Killerko on January 28, 2024 - 12:04pm

Hi everybody, I've been using portable apps for many years but with Total Commander I really am annoyed by that startup message that the app did not close properly last time.
I understand why the message appears and that the app or windows simply crashed and it did not shutdown correctly, but it absolutely make no difference if I click OK or Cancel as the app simply starts anyway.

So I would like to ask if there is anyway how to disable this message pernamently? I simply don't want to see it ever again even if the app crashes.
