New user - help needed

Submitted by Rerih on June 10, 2024 - 6:36am

Very interesting looking software but I cannot find where it should be installed however.
May I introduce a few terms so I can better understand the architecture.
Source computer = My computer where I have all my apps installed/licenced etc.
Target computer = Where I want to run an portable app.
Cloud location = E.g. Onedrive etc.
Where should I install PortableApps.com?
On the target computer? But I cannot do that - not available to me.

Simultaneous Multi-PC Operation?

Submitted by jwinter on May 31, 2024 - 11:13pm

Storing portable apps in the cloud is very attractive these days as it is quite easy to login to one's cloud account on any computer and have all my portableapps instantly runable. This is great when remote controlling a PC via TeamViewer, RustDesk, etc. However what happens if one runs the same portable app launcher on both the local and the remote PC simultaneously since they are both sharing the same cloud storage?

just data backup

It would be nice if they have advanced setting that would be included backup settings rules from apps by user.
it will be save storage and time on device and cloud!
my idear is that portable apps able to set owen folder/files to back up setting of any portableapp apps. this would be save as a backup_rule.txt
now you can sync/backup data with portableapps by one-click on device or cloud. also can be included compression with password.
the portableapps are able to filter list clear and export just path list do import into Owen backup-software/cloud service.

Fastload by start

Submitted by leminsc8 on May 31, 2024 - 6:34am

Hello,
on old Device, PortableApps will load verry long time by many apps if i start it first time.
it would be nice if they load old scans before update folders for apps and updates. The update rescan should be load silenc.
that would be nice to start apps faster!

Is there a Portableapps for Linux

Submitted by portot on May 29, 2024 - 12:54am

Update: The best solution I've found for this is appimage.org. They have produced an app, appimagetool, which will compress into a single file the contents of a directory structure - much like the portableapps folder structure. The tool includes a process to redirect configuration references/changes (in lieu of the registry in Windows) to a folder named [program-name].home.

GoogleChromePortable 108.0.5359.72 online.paf

Submitted by Cartel on May 18, 2024 - 12:25pm

I'm having issues with chrome portable legacy 109 pinging and getting blocked in my firewall (because I block all ICMP) on every link I click with it. I would like to try version 108 but when I try to install it it says error downloading 404

Is it not possible to get a previous version?

thanks
