New Apr 14: macOS Portable Drive Support
450+ real apps (49GB), 1.1 billion downloads, Please donate.
So I have installed PortableApps at work in my Dropbox folder. Everything works great from that end. When I get home, I use Linux & Dropbox. Some Portable Apps are telling me that the path is different and that it is not recommended for me to "move" things like this.
Will I break anything if I answer "yes" to continue with the new path?
Can I map a "fake" Z: drive in linux to avoid these "broken" paths?
Any help is appreciated.
The issue is moving a drive around (drive letter changing) vs changing the whole path (X:\PathTo\PortableApps vs Y:\DifferentPathTo\PortableApps). All app work as the drive letter changes so you can carry them around portably on a drive. Most apps are configured to accept these path changes that accompany using something like DropBox on multiple PCs with different OSes (Windows XP vs Windows Vista+ vs Linux). Some are not yet. Some can't be as some functionality will break (example: uTorrent existing torrents will all fail). You can answer yes and try it. If you have questions about specific apps, ask em here.
