General Discussion

I wonder if there is a common app for these three. Or at at least, three separate ones for each purpose. Photos are solved, don't worry about that. (https://portableapps.com/node/43244). I dug up a discontinued software Metability QuickFix. I'm not sure of its capabilities for all three purposes. I don't like discontinued software.

Apache OpenOffice has now been update to version 4.1.3. When will this be available from PortableApps? Is anyone working on it?

I want intorm to a problem in LibreOffice.
When I set my language interface in LibreOffice, this option is not save.
If I close and reopen the program, Libreoffice's user interface will be again in English.
Thanks

I am a bit confused now that I read some discussion in the net and here in the forums about that topic, and viewed and changed some registry keys.

First, I wasn't sure where to post this question so I apologies if it is in the wrong section.

I would like to know if I may use the PortableApps Icon on my website. I plan to sell a service to create portable versions of apps and games on my website. The image I would like to use can be found at https://cdn.portableapps.com/PortableApps.comFlat_256.png

Hello

I have installed KeepNote on my PortableApps Stick. In the settings of KeepNote there is a section Helper Applications, where you can set the path to applications like your browser, your file manager, etc.

I can set absolut paths, starting with a drivew letter D:\... But when I use the stick at another windows host the drive letter may chance.
I tried relative paths, but I always get errors (application could not be found).

Has somebody managed to use PortableApps applications as Helper Applications?

Kind regards, jandoe

Hi!
I'm trying to make the Gamebase64 application portable (http://gamebase64.com/)
The problem I'm currently running into is that the app needs to run from a "short path".
The program usually installs to c:\GameBase
But I don't want to have to copy the files over there every time since with all the files I added I'm up to over 3gb of data.

So, how should I go at making the program believe it's folder is directly on the root of a drive while still making it portable?

Not finding where I should post this, I decided it would land here.
Being somewhat new at making portable apps, I find some parts of the process somewhat tedious. Not that it's necessarily hard, but some of the tasks required are just plain annoying because of their redundancy (like creating folder structures).

In testing out performance issues on LibreOffice Portable, I've determined that Windows 10 anniversary update positively kills font API performance. It's to the point that my old ASUS T100 tablet with a Z3735 cpu running Windows 10 pre-anniversary update launches LibreOffice Portable 5.2.1 from a USB3 drive faster than my Dell i7 desktop running Windows 10 anniversay does from an internal Samsung 840 Pro SSD.

In order to install PortableApps on some internet-less (or very-slow-internet) computers, I'd like to have a couple of options:
- download all setup files of my currenty installed apps (on my computer where I have a *fast* internet connection)
- keep setup files when I update my installed apps (see above)
I noticed that all those .paf.exe files are actually downloaded in a temp folder but they are automatically deleted when the update has been completed.

TIA for your help
