General Discussion

There are Too many Stickies at the top of the forum. Some need to be deleted, some need to be consolidated.

I would like to add Pyfa which is an EVE online ship fitting simulator. The software is licensed with GPL v3.0 and hosted on GitHub. I have created the installer from the current release and would like to add it to the portable apps platform. The GitHub page is: https://github.com/pyfa-org/Pyfa

I want to put my passwords ( using Lastpass) on an USB Stick.

I use Linux (Ubuntu 17.10) and an Android mobile phone

I have a 32GB swivel stick with USB one side and USB C for the phone.

I have looked at Firefox and Chrome but there only seems to be Windows .exe files which won't run on Linux.

Am I missing something here as I have searched your website for a Linux version.

I'd appreciate any help here.

Ampers.

Hi,

I don't know if this has been requested previously but when I am using non-PA.c application, often they have multiple entries; which aren't relevant to the main programs' operation, e.g. ImageMagick so could it would be great if the Developer(s) could implement a feature such as this for convenience.

Also, I may have mentioned before but it would also be nice to suppress updating of specified little-used programs and have an option that when opened it will search for updates; that way I don't have to remove them (apps) entirely but otherwise a great effort ongoing.

Hi,

I have made threads subscriptions.
But when I got Emails, with different topics, I can see only this:

[PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB, portable and cloud drives] thread subscr...

so I can't realize easily what topic I got response.
So make the subject short - the name of topic

Another thing is that I got an Email even if it was just me that replyed to the topic.
I think it will better to get an Email notifications only when others are replying but not me.

Regards,

Let's say someone wants to test and compare 2 versions of a portable app.
For example, he has 2 portable program folders:
AppPortable v3.0
AppPortable v3.5

He wants to run the two AppPortable.exe simultaneously.
The settings of AppPortable v3.0 will be saved in AppPortable v3.0
The settings of AppPortable v3.5 will be saved in AppPortable v3.5
How to do that?

I have been trying to update Nethack and keep getting a error. Is anyone else having issues or just me ?

This is on a Win 10X64 FCU latest updates installed.

I have always read that portable programs do not create registry entries. However, when I enter HKEY_CURRENT_USER I see that there are several registry entries. Is this normal?

In case you dislike or encounter problems with the new version after upgrading.

I downloaded libreoffice 6.0.2 (now latest is 6.0.3) short while ago. On running it, task-manager shows it's running in 32-bit mode, not 64.

The ~.paf.exe file's name doesn't indicate whether it's 32. 64, or 32-64 bit mode. If latter, how to execute it in 64-bit mode?

Same question applies to OpenOffice ~.paf.exe. In my particular case I actually need 64-bit portable version.

thx
