Chromium Portable start with parameters: several profiles

Submitted by pmt on March 5, 2021 - 6:24pm

Hi,

At this point adding parameters to AdditionalParameters key in ChromiumPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\ChromiumPortable.ini applies to default browser profile only, and when I create another profiles from inside browser they are created like if no parameters were specified during browser start.

How can I have those AdditionalParameters parameters applied to not just one ChromiumPortable user profile? Or where can I specify parameters for other profiles than default one.

Make a deployable protableapps folder with just the launcher.

Submitted by Pay on March 4, 2021 - 7:20pm

Hi All.

I was in need of a deployable Protableapps folder with just the launcher (that's about 30 MB) and at first run downloads al the needed apps.
Is something like that already an option? Can i use a command line to download / update a bunch of apps at once?

Pro:
This way i don't have to walk around with a huge folder that i want to update at first run anyway.

Cons:
Useless until the download is complete. This will take time and data.

About Donations

Paypal refused the payment telling that donations from my location in Asia (Japan) were not permitted. This happened somewhere else before. If I remember well, the problem was solved by donating in Japanese yen. Your donation page doesn't offer that option. That could be programmed by some guys around I am sure. I am curious to know how many people have been turned down that way. I wish I could help without giving my credit card data. I may try again next month. Thank you for existing. Bye!

About an new channel of testing application

Submitted by tomtony on February 9, 2021 - 11:49am

I have an idea about the portable application directory . Maybe the developers could consider to set up a channel where the user can search , download , install and upgrade the testing but not official maintain software. On the one hand, users would have a chance of using more software thought they are mayb unstable, on the other hand , developers will have a more convenience way to attract user to test the software.

Backup

I have a 128GB Pen Drive with PortableApps installed. I want to Backup the drive and move it to a larger drive but do not have enough space on my C:\ drive to create the TEMP file, hence the Backup fails. How do I go about it?? Please help.

Portable apps PE

Submitted by Fredjclaus on January 25, 2021 - 2:34pm

I'm a longtime user of Portable apps, but I've been playing around with the idea of making my own bootable WinPE that I would consider marketing as a free tool to others. Is it possible to include Portable apps as part of the WinPE? I would really like it to be part of the pe instead of an extra thing on the drive that is accessed after booting.
