Hello,

I guess this issue is related to Windows 10, since I did not notice something similar in Windows 7 or 8.

Example of the issue:
I want to decompress the files example.7z.001, example.7z.002 with 7zip, which are not directly recognized as manageable with 7zip. So I use Open with and I browse for 7-ZipPortable.exe (I also tried the executable in the App folder). But nothing happens.
The program finally opens after a crazy long time (~ 10 min. measured).
If I open manually in 7zip, it is immediate.

I have just been served an advert on portableapps.com that included a pornographic image that is illegal to possess in the UK. Think animal and lady.

I have a screenshot in case anyone doesn't believe me but would prefer for obvious reasons to be able to delete it.

Meanwhile I will be blocking ads on PA.com

Hello all,
I've been searching about a way to rename custom categories, but I can't find anything.
Double click or right click on the category name doesn't open any menus. Also, I can't find any hidden file (containing information about categories) inside the portableapps directories that I could edit.
So, is there a way to rename the custom categories that I create?
Thanks in advance

I come across a sticky problem. My portable app should some DLL be registered ,for example the vc runtime dlls.

how to generate a paf.exe? Since I have already generate the portable app, but how to seal it into a paf.exe?

Yes, JDownloader is portable in itself, just isn't an official PortableApp. But I find Java apps gross, so I wonder if there are any decent apps for the same purpose more native to Windows and Linux, respectively? I haven't really found any. Requiring .NET is more native than requiring Java in my books. Thanks!

I just learned that uTorrent was mining bitcoin on users' computers, so I was looking for a replacement. One is Deluge, and (removed) is providing a proper PortableApps.com formatted version of it, among other apps.

(removed) says:

"We believe that free/open source software is enough, we don't need pirated softwares on Windows. But most of these aren't portables, or provided by PortableApps.com due to .NET dependencies, 64-bit etc. So we provide what's missing here.

When I activate the jportable it does not seem te work. I go to javatester.org but it does not detect java.

It says is should pickup java automaticly with fierfox but this does niet seems te be the case. Any idea what could be wrong here?
