I use Coffee to do file associations portably on my WinPC (Coffee is a mod of eXpresso, and very similar).

However Launchy (I use it in portable mode) doesn't send clicks to Coffee / eXpresso. Any thoughts on how I could get Launchy to send clicks there?

Or if Launchy has its own custom file association mechanism?

Note: I've added Launchy to Coffee / eXpresso via "Monitored Window Configuration", but that didn't solve it.

This has seemingly been an issue for a long, long while (years?) but I only realized some funky stuff now today. I searched the forums for answers and came up empty, and I don't see support channels for the website itself... hopefully this is the right spot? If not, let me where to go and I'll happily report the bugs to the proper place. The shortest gist of it is that the RSS feeds for portableapps.com are labeled incorrectly, nonexistent, and off-site too.

Hi. im having problems with PAF.EXE files.
Recently, i've re-installed Windows 8.1pro by a problem updating drivers.
I have my same Windows version again. OK.

PORTABLE FACERIG?

Hi,

I just found out, the hard way, that PortableApps deletes app directory on update, including config/data files. Ouch.

This is nothing new, apparently:

https://portableapps.com/node/43334
etc.

I'm a light user of the platform, and I lost only a pair of hours of work or so (though it's going to be challenging to remember all the things lost, actually).

I'm not an expert, just passing this along as a word of caution.

This is probably not a problem for causal users of GnuGP. Temporarily it would be advisable NOT to refresh certificates from the SKS keyserver network. Particularly if your keyring has GnuPG contributors Robert J. Hansen (rjh) or Daniel Kahn Gillmor (dkg) who were victims of a certificate spamming attack.

I decided to take a look at the Brave browser rewards program. After a slightly tedious signup, here's what I found:

Any idea if you'll have USB sticks again. Or even stickers?

I've come back to windows after many decades primarily using linux. my distro abandoned 32bit apps.so, I bought a new HP laptop (that claims to be 64 bit). I' tryed to use portable apps as they had previously met my needs. when I try to use Libre Office or GIMP, both fail immediately. how about publishing a list of what works on windows 10?

Upon testing portable versions of various programs made with the portableapps platform (coming in a folder with the exe and the app and data subfolders), I've noticed I cannot run any unless they are are in the C: root folder. Program crashes instantly upon launching. What am I missing here?
