General Discussion

My AV program claims that smartdb-ntfs.zip is a compression bomb. This came to my desktop via one of the *.paf.exe files. I am not sure of which one.

Is Google Chrome version 3 available as portable app? I see it listed here, but trying to download it takes me to other versions I have zero interest in. Can anyone point me to a viable download link? Thanks.

First time poster, long time fan of PortableApps. I created an account just to ask about this.

I had some expalaining to do when Symantec issued a false positive for swipl-win.exe, SWI Prolog's portable package bundled into PortableApps.

It's all resolved at this point, but I wanted to make a post to share what happened and to see if anyone else has had their A/V issue a false positive for SWI Prolog or any other apps.

The Linux Foundation finally open their HTTPS certificate service for everyone to join. I am hoping that PortableApps in the future support HTTPS.

I recommend using the Linux Foundation HTTPS. It’s free, automated, and open, for more detail see the website; https://letsencrypt.org/

Could we find and implement replacement for DamnVid? As it can't download videos from YT (or I'm so stupid that I can't get it working) and developer stated that he doesn't plan to support program anymore (I e-mailed him about it). If I can suggest a replacement I would probably suggest Youtube-dlG (Youtube-dl with GUI), it's public domain, it's a bit heavy with 80MB, but it works.

I didn't wanted to post this topic in requested apps as I don't know what app should be requested, maybe someone will have a better suggestion.

I have Firefox, Chrome and Thunderbird running, is there a way to automatically get them checked and updated by portableapps?

Thanks:)

After a recent hard drive failure, and my own failure to make regular daily backups, I'm looking for a good, reliable program which can one-way sync one hdd to another. I used to use SyncBackFree, and it served the purpose well, but it has one major problem for me. Let's say we have a hard drive with folders a, b, c, d and e on them (large folders, with many subdirectories), and I rename folder b to something else. SyncBackFree won't simply rename that folder; it will replace the entire thing. Obviously with large amounts of content that is a problem.

I just upgraded my Portable App version of Firefox and found that it's incompatible with some plugins that I need for work. I'd like to just deprecate back to the version I was using before. Is there an archive of older Portable App versions of software so that people can deprecate if need be?

I had a power outage and my kind of important text file got garbled.

All '[NUL]', when opening with Notepad 2 Portable. Is there any chance to recover it?

The bad news is, I accidentally have overwritten my backup from a few days back with the garbled one. Now I truly need to recover it. What (portable) app can you recommend for this job?

I tried all the different encodings in Notepad 2 (portable) to no avail. Maybe the proper solution - if there is any - is something completely different.
