General Discussion

This might be a simple question. I am using a USB to carry all the portable apps. It works very well except when I change computer, the USB drive letter also change. I set the Google download fold in the USB itself e.g. e:\download. This doesn't work for different computers. Any solution? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The portable version of Thunderbird is pretty old. Is it still supported in the sense that there will be updates coming, or should I look somewhere else?

Thanks

I just reset my OS, and thanks to PortableApps, I was up and running after a quick copy-extract of a .7z file. So far everything seems to work fine, but I'm just curious if there's something vital that I missed by not using the built-in backup option.

What is the possibility of bundling all the apps in zip format? And then just unzipping the large file onto a usb drive, so then you'd have all the apps you'd need? I am currently installing all the apps on a SSD. It is ridiculous that I have to click "agree" and "install" for nearly every app. Taking well over two hours to install 400+ apps on this drive. I've already tried using a mouse macro that clicks on these buttons, but it is hit and miss, doesn't work all the time. Just seems like a lot of work to install even say 30 apps.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, a search turned up nothing.

Hi there.

Suggestions

In the main interface

- A mention of the amount of installed applications would be valuable, so that it can be determined that all applications that are meant to be installed are indeed present.

Section: Help

- The link to the site –https://portableapps.com/– is worth a mention. The site gathers valuable information such as descriptions of applications. User has currently to rely on this information in order to select an application unknown of him.

The listing for FreeFileSync does note that it is not a recent version. It doesn't note that that means that major features (e.g. support for SFTP) that are prominantly described on the app's website are not included in the portableapps version. If the listing suggested an alternative that would be gravy.

I all the time get such messages:

How could one avoid that?

Someone for God's news about Thunderbird

By the mere fact that http://portableapps.com redirects to https://portableapps.com you are obviously aware of how important it us to use https, especially with Google Chrome slowly but surely on its way to block http websites.
So please make sure to link to https websites, not http ones, whenever https versions exist, of course.
