Portable App Development

Hey,

With Zotero 7, the ability to pin to taskbar create two icons. It was working perfectly with zotero 6.
So I guess I did something wrong?

Can you please help me on how to debug this? This made me realize that I didn't change the icon of the launcher, so I will update this asap.

I was wondering how people felt about removing old apps that are no longer in development. Like having a rule that if an app hasn't been updated in 10 years it should be removed? Or is it just better let it stay until it stops working with new OS's?

For example, I just saw Abiword hasn't been updated in a decade and even their website is gone.

Greetings,

In recent days, I've been testing several Chrome-based browsers with the Chrome Plus dll, and the results are promising.
These programs are indeed portable, and when used on another computer, extensions, cookies, and passwords are preserved.
It might be a good idea to check out the open-source project on GitHub: https://github.com/Bush2021/chrome_plus.

I had FreeCAD installed on my system at
C:\Program Files\FreeCAD 0.21
A bug arose in which it kept crashing so I uninstalled it.

FreeCAD Portable had issues starting as well so I did an uninstall and reinstall.
Now, FreeCAD Portable 0.21 issues the following error upon starting;

No python at C:\Program Files\FreeCAD 0.21\bin\pythonw.exe

When I close all the error popups, FreeCAD starts

Any idea where FreeCAD is getting the path to search?
Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

6.3.4 was released on the 17th June. Any update for this yet?

Thank you.

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, but I'm an old Portableapps user.
I didn't find any question like this in the forum, so here I am.
Also, I hope that this is the right section to post this question. If not, please tell me how to move it in the right one.

So basically, I have an app that modifies the registry at run time which breaks portability unless I rewrite it after the fact. I've hacked together two approaches - one using a bat script to launch the app, sleep, and then rewrite the registry, and one using OverrideExecute. It's just a slightly modified version of execute block from the launcher source. The bat file is basically the same thing.

32 or 64 bit?

I am trying to learn how to create a personal desktop, 64bit version of MiniTool Partition Wizard into a portable version of the very same program. I need some assistance.
