General Discussion

I managed to get it to appear and function there once, but then I moved another file and now I only get error messages whenever it is clicked on from the portable apps menu.

For the life of me, no matter how many different combinations of drag and drops/copy and pastes I cannot get the app to appear on the portableapps menu and be clicked on and work.

Can someone help? I have searched the forums and found some similar posts but the solutions weren't clear and/or didn't work.

Hi All:
Portable Apps is great and the bundled automatic updating is great. One change would make it even greater. That change is to the behavior of the updater when an application, for whatever reason, can't update. What happens then is the update process stops and a pop up screen appears saying "the app can't update because .......". It then asks you to click OK. Why wouldn't I?

I have a problem:

When I start a executable like Calc Writer or any other I receive this message
"G:\libreOfficePortable\App\\Appinfo\Launcher\LibreOfficePortable.ini is missing[launch]:ProgramExecutable - what am I to launch?"

What must I do? Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Dear Forum,

I have recently installed a portable version of the useful HTML editor BlueGriffon in my USB drive. But it's not conformed to the PortableApps standard (I found it here in portablefreeware.com), so when I open the Platform, I see several "BlueGriffon" listed:

Hi,

Enigmail has been updated and will no longer support older versions of GnuPG. We will have a new update for the platform?

How do I use java portable?

I have Java portable installed in the common directory.

When I try to launch a portable app and its says I need Java, how do I get it to recognise the portable file please?

Wondering if this has happened yet or not.

Be clear that I LIKE PA and have supported it. So the following is meant as constructive criticism...and I acknowledge that not everyone will feel the same.

Some Portable-Apps are specific to Windows OS but not on Mac/Linux OS.
Solution of this problem can be using Docker Virtuel Environment as a Virtual Machine but very light.

I tried a method to install very ease Portable-Apps into Docker Image through Wine emulator.
