Hello,

I scaned my PortableApps folder with SUMo (the software Update monitor) and it found many updates available.
Of cause I updated my portable apps via the PortableApps Platform before scanning.

I removed all "unofficial" apps from the list and also all apps that are known as outdated.
Here is the list of Updates that SUMo reports:

I'm receiving the error that "downloaded copy of "xxx" is not valid and can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete"

This is happening with 3 separate portables. Where does Portable Apps download the updates to before it installs them? I'm pretty sure I need to delete the corrupted copy before I can proceed.

Thanks.

This is for discussion.

NotePad++ isn't quite as portable as it orta be once the plugin updater is included, I use it non-portably at home and on other systems I use frequently, for e.g.

There has been a recent (today) request for RJ Texted but from where I am it seems less generalised than NP++ which puts it into the realm of IDE and non-general editors.

Do we need another editor? We seem to be gathering IDEs that include an editor and so on.

Hi,

I use both Google Chrome and Firefox on my laptops, pcs, mobile, etc. I have a Google account and I sign in to Google Chrome so that all my various data is synced across my Google Chrome devices/sessions. I also use Firefox sync in the same way.

I have now set up PortableApps on a usb stick (with GChromePortable and FFoxPortable).

IN PeaZip where is the option to automatically delete (or move to another folder) archives after successful extraction?

I just updated PA from 11.something to the current version. The apps I had previously installed no longer show up in the menu. Their folders are still there under the PA folder, but apparently PA does not "see" them.

Now what?

Hi,
I have an 8GB Carbide that I recently purchased.

LOVE the product by the way.

I want to know if I can get the software install that came on it, so I can return it to factory new condition, rather than just using the portable apps software. It has a custom menu and other items that I want to keep on my portable apps drive.

Thanks for your time.

PS. If this is not in the proper forum, my apologies, but I did not see one that fit better.

not SF apps. they are hosted here

why are some hosted here btw? and not all at SF?

like irfanview, and some others... i need previous versions..

thanks all and happy app making and thanks for this sick ass site!

Hello, guys,
Last time (month or two) I cannot update any app on USB using PortableApps.com updater. Every attempt to update (no matter what) ends up with the following message box:

Is there a good portable screencast tool? What do people recommend?
