General Discussion

Following the advice by iglvzx in https://superuser.com/questions/118025/using-custom-fonts-without-admini... , I created a directory PortableApps/PortableApps.com/Data/Fonts and copied my ttf and otf files to this directory. Then I started PortableApps. Still, the fonts are not visible in the system.

Did I miss something?

This problem persists for many years, is there any way to disable this error message? Interestingly, I do not have an error message for 2 portable applications that I made myself - Firefox and Thunderbird (in 2014).

I am fully aware that the incorrect closure of applications can lead to data loss and I don't care about.

DOSBox has the ability to take screenshots but the portable version has no folder storing these, where can I find this folder?

Here's what I'm looking for.

A portable file browser like explorer++ or Xenon File Manager that opens documents\files\images using the portable app on your usb drive, instead of using the default windows programs.

Is there anyway to do this?

Problem downloading Wwget and Appcompactor Reported error
The requested URL /portableapps/PortableApps.comAppCompactor/PortableApps.comAppCompactor_3.4.1_English.paf.exe was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at download3.portableapps.com Port 80

Anyone help or are these just missing? I noticed Haller in there awhile ago.

I've rolled out Antivirus Scan links and have started rolling out SHA-256 hashes to our app pages as mentioned in today's news story. Some app pages that haven't yet been updated with an SHA-256 will have an MD5 that links to more than one scan on VirusTotal. If you happen to notice one, please post here and I'll prioritize adding that app's SHA-256 to avoid the issue. Thanks!

it looks like this subject hasn't popped up in a while - creating new thread. this morning i auto-updated firefox portable using the platform, and immediately got "firefox couldn't load XPCOM" i ran through some forum recommendations, tried to reinstall, i download a clean version of FirefoxPortable_66.0.3_English.paf.exe to run clean, independently with no imports or changes and it gave me the same error. the solution was to download the previous version FirefoxPortable_66.0.2_English.paf.exe, install over top of my existing version.

I see that it is possible to install to Google Drive. However, when I attempt to do so, it is reported that it, Google Drive, is not found. What am I doing wrong?

I was thinking and it would be pretty cool if I were to setup game streaming from my Linux desktop to wherever I might be. For example, maybe I might be at a friends house and we decide to play some video games, so I could just plug in my portableapps USB with some game streaming software and start playing some games, for example.

You should remove the "g+" icon in the top right corner. It just simply redirects to Google+ is no longer available for consumers.
