Hi everyone,
I've noticed that recently there have been a couple of 'rev 2' revisions posted that weren't mentioned on the homepage (which is where I mostly look), but were on the RSS feed. Seeing as how I don't monitor the RSS routinely, it means I've probably missed out on an update to some apps. I download every app posted to the site - but I don't have them all installed, so I can't use the platform updater for this - so is there a single page on this site that lists each program followed by the current version number so I can go through each app and check to see if I have the latest download?
Thanks.

Is this what you're looking for?

That is close - but it doesn't show the versions, so I wouldn't know if each one was a rev2/rev3 or whatever unless I manually clicked on each one. If the number of apps from this site was small, I'd just do that - but currently I have 228 separate app folders in my PortableApps downloaded folder, and I'm not inclined to click on that many app pages manually to check version numbers.
What I was really looking for was this:
appname1 v2.5
appname2 v1.2 rev 3
appname3 v5.0
etc
I know the current platform updater has a hidden 'download all' switch - maybe I should just run that, leave my PC on all night and come back in the morning and see what it has downloaded? Though the apps on this site+their source codes currently take up 8GB, so that might take longer than one night...

Also, I should have linked to this page: https://portableapps.com/news
The one I linked to before is only completely new apps.

Why don't you limit the number of apps you update to just the ones you actually use. You do use some don't you??

Some I have installed, yes (a small number on a USB drive I have sitting around as a 'just in case I need it one day' sort of thing). I basically want to have the latest version of every app on the site, just in case I ever want to use them.

So, you use the updater, it gives you a list of all the out of date apps from PortableApps.com and the version it will update to. And any you don't feel like downloading and installing, you uncheck.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
As I posted above, "I don't have them all installed, so I can't use the platform updater for this". I basically want the latest installers for each app, if it is possible to get them easily (i.e. without going onto each app page individually).

Instead of having wasted space with apps that are not installed and will constantly be updated, therefore making you waste your time looking for updates, just try only downloading the ones you use. If you decide you need another app, just come download the latest version and install it.
So you want to be a Sourceforge mirror for PortableApps?
