hi,
I have searched the forum and found a few discussions about 64bit programs.
I fully support maintaining both 32bit and 64bit versions where possible of each program.
However the only way I can see to identify which programs have 64bit versions via browsing the portableapps.com website is to browse every single page for each program.
Is there another way?
(aside from downloading all programs using the PA platform on a 64bit machine)
Thanks.
p.s
if not: could this be accepted as a usability suggestion please?

why is this important to know which programs have both versions included?

The way we build apps, it doesn't matter. We don't build any 64-bit only apps (with the exception of the Firefox Nightly x64 build for advanced testers only, hidden by default in the app store, will not be released as stable). The reasons are outlined here: https://portableapps.com/node/24371 (Please read that first)
The only apps we build as dual mode 32 and 64-bit are ones where there is a performance advantage. And they're both included. We even have apps that include 32-bit legacy, 32-bit modern, 64-bit legacy, and 64-bit modern versions (like PeerBlock). All our apps run everywhere, 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. As such, there's no reason at all to list the ones with the 64-bit version included.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
