Kanban / Personal Kanban Tool

Submitted by UpdateInformer on August 14, 2024 - 1:33am

Hi all,
can anybody recommend an free opensource kanban or peronal kanban tool for windows?
If it's allready portable even better but not necessarily required!

If you know a free tool portable or not which is not opensource better send me a PM
as the may be not welcome here as they cannot be made portable and available here!

Please no tools needed to get hosted on the web to get in use!

Differentiate "Portable apps"

Submitted by pcmedic on August 13, 2024 - 11:14pm

If I have a Portable Apps installation with multiple portable apps where some are from the portable apps website and some are from other sites that offer apps in the portable apps format/structure. Is there a way to differentiate which apps are directly from the PA website vs another site? Is there anything within the folder structure of a portable app to tell me its official Portable Apps App? I want to remove any apps that are not from the Portable Apps website. TIA!

Thunderbird Portable 102: How to prevent the frequent pop-up messages to upgrade to 115

Submitted by sukhoi47 on August 2, 2024 - 8:17pm

Hi,

Thunderbird 115 Portable is around, but with horrible changes in its interface.

I do not want to migrate from Thunderbird 102 Portable to the 115 version, but I keep getting very frequent pop-up messages requesting to upgrade it.

I already tried two procedures to prevent the pop-ups:

I renamed the updater.exe file
and created a policies.json at c:\ThunderbirdPortable\App\Thunderbird\distribution

What happened to the Musescore App?

Submitted by ajax on July 31, 2024 - 11:18am

When searching for new apps by Title or Category the Musescore App does NOT appear in the lists. However, I do have it installed on some of my portable drives and it has been updating somewhat recently. I can also find it on the website and can download it.

Is there some reason for omitting what I'm thinking is a normal and legitimate app from said lists?

Please reduce time for downloading and installation for updates

Submitted by f_guy2020 on July 24, 2024 - 11:25am

Guys, could you optimize the process of downloading and installing updates? Your downloads and installations take several hours on my notebook or my work computer. This is completely unimaginable. Is it possible to somehow reduce this time by orders of magnitude, so that it doesn’t drag on for five or six hours, but within at least one hour?

Can a Registry key renamed/blocked

Submitted by Hansielein on June 14, 2024 - 8:04am

Hi!

Is there a way to do that? I want to change:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.rar\CLSID
to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.rar\Ren.CLSID

Or just block the Access to this key. Is that possible? Because i have an old Programm which shows .rar files as empty folders, with that change above it works normal. Is it possible to just create an PortableApp out of it and change the registry key virtually?
