Hi, I am using WinMerge Portableapps to compare files (great for that).
And I have another tool compare folders (WinMerge folder comparison is not usable), which is not portable unfortunately. https://imgur.com/a/qhse3hS

Is there an environment variable created by PortableApps Platform I can use in order to enter the path of WinMerge Portable?

Hi, I am using Ditto Portable (great app for information) on my Windows 11. This app is located on my Office Onedrive and I have set the Onedrive option 'Always keep on this device' option to DittoPortable folder. I also set this app to start automatically with Windows.
Unfortunately after just a few days, first Ditto lost its database history and then a few days ago the Ditto configuration option I set for this app (it is a highly customizable app) disappeared.
Am i doing something wrong ? How can I prevent this ?

Hey there,

The "About Google Chrome" settings page lists v101.0.4951.67, released May 12, along with the expected "An error occurred while checking for updates" message. But this time I'm also seeing an "update" notification on the main interface drop down menu, along with a notification that states "Can't update Chrome to the latest version", something I've never seen before

However, the latest version is v103.0.5060.114, released 7/5, as listed on it's portableapps product page, as well as on other official Chrome pages.

The platform does not update it.

Hi,

I have PortableApps applications I would like to run at Windows startup like Ditto Portable as well as other portable applications.

Is there a Startup folder inside PortableApps (or something similar) where I could put all the portable apps I want to start when PortableApps Platform is starting ?
This way I just have to start PortableApps Platform at Windows startup and all the other portable apps I want to start with it are starting as well.

Hi,
It is possible to remove this reboot PC icon from portableapps ?

I never use it. Regards

Win 10 x64
I have to do the workaround via SyMenu and it only works when I install ONLY the 64Bit version. (in SyMenu you may choose the version)

I would like to have it in PortableApps. - Doesn't work.

Edit:
It always does to choose the 32Bit version, though I have the 64Bit OS.???

I know the problems registering portable software, but normally, this is no problem.
Associate filetypes by ending does work, but this is not a workable workaround to 35 manual jobs...

even then it falls back to any before registered windows stuff...

Hi,
I have installed Notepad++ portable and I want that all .txt files (other related file extension like .py, .css) open themselves with Notepad++ Portable (https://portableapps.com/apps/development/notepadpp_portable) .
What is the best way to do that ? With Notepad++ Windows version this is done automatically.

I am doing this now several years.

When to "install" this to drive "D"
it ends to...D:\PortableApps\PortableApps
and there it goes for all.

but if i end up to install a lonely app it goes to
D:\PortableApps

This is a bug, error or whatever you might call it.
It disturbs the whole Structure of the Project.
Please fix it.

Might be the fault in your Description of "how to..."
but it is definately wrong.

causing many problems.

Thanks!
