Copying a USB Drive does not copy Firefox or Firefox Private Browsing completely. Errors, not able to find several items.
Hi,
I'm in trouble...
I would know if is possible, before open an app, close another, and after close this app reopen the other closed.
I have this problem:
Two free programs (both natively portable) AdMunch and Index Your Files.
AdMunch starts with computer, so is always opened.
When I start Index Your FIles, if AdMunch is opened, the main window bacame very little and locke (no resizable).
So I have to close manually AM, open IYF, close YOF, and reopen AM.
Hallo,
I am new here.
So first portabel Apps works fine, but one point is the same open so I used it not in the past.
Portable Apps uses often directly the space on the portable Apps Media, so if a tool, game, other program save often data, some USB-Sticks (MLC-technology is often used and so the write cycles are limited to 3000 if I am correct).
So why portable apps does not use the system temp folder and after ending or with special portal apps command will only then write it back to the USB MEDIA.
Hello,
I like PortableApps!
But I have a minor "problem" ...
I have a few apps which autostart on portableapps start. But almost every day one of them has an update available. So I have to close the app, install the update and start this app again.
Is there a way to delay the autostart of a program until the update check for them is done? and if there is a update the autostart will follow the update?
Regards

Thanks for all your work!
Hi,
with my computers (W7 and W10) I have the same behaviour.
When the systems were new (or reformatted) the launchers (the programs created with PortableApps Launcher) worked fine.
After some time (may be after other programs installations), Windows, EVERY TIME I launch a PApps applications (EVERY APPLICATIONS), show the window to execute them with admin privileges.
The normal programs start normally.
How can you explain this? An how can I correct it?
Thanks.
Loading on to 2nd pc thunderbird did not show my 5 email accounts and I seem to have lost all my folders and all my current and saved email history. What it did request was to set up an initial email account - which I did - and this obviously modified my profile. Somewhere I found that if my address book was accessible then perhaps the rest (all that I have seemingly lost) could be still available. I have looked at my profile and there are some large files - might these be my history and lost files. Can I rescue these files. I am a relative novice in this area. Help please.
