Post link and Dev test number

Submitted by davefdm on March 25, 2017 - 11:20pm

Is there a way to find out the post link before posting so it can be included in help.html and appinfi.ini the first time posting, or do I just upload the installer twice to Sourceforge?
Also if I forgot some info. in the help.html and appinfi.ini do I need to increment the Dev test number or is it only for something that affects the running of the software?

Installations' stop button

Submitted by lwc on March 20, 2017 - 9:45pm

I found myself installing a certain very large portable app into the wrong folder and helplessly stared at it as it kept installing.
Could you add a stop button into the *.paf.exe files?
That's how it usually is in other installers.
It should be especially easy in this case as the installer basically extracts files. So just stop extracting them and delete their folder.

Release versions

Submitted by davefdm on March 18, 2017 - 11:29pm

What is the order of release versions?
For example if I take a portable app and make it PortableApps.com Format what should the first release version be called?
Should it be alpha, beta, or dev test 1 or something else?

Opera Portable

Submitted by ElmerFuddIII on March 8, 2017 - 8:04am

First, let me thank everyone involved for portable apps. Use it daily.

One app I really like, Opera (has a built in VPN!), is somehow horribly implemented on Portable Apps. I don't know what it's doing, maybe sending files to the mothership, but it takes minutes for it to shutdown properly and there is an intense amount of disk activity involved. If you don't wait for it to finish, you'll get a "not properly closed/cleaned" message when you attempt to start it next and then you'll wait and wait with no indication that it has completed its mission - whatever that is.

Money manager ex

Submitted by Rabbit53 on March 1, 2017 - 6:31am

Has anyone had problems with the Money manager ex app. I have been using it for a couple of years with no problem.

The latest update crashed the whole app.

I loaded a new platform to a fresh USB stick and installed the app and when it is opened I get a fatal error.
