[Fixed] Chrome installation issue v. 89.0.4389.114

Submitted by Kob on April 5, 2021 - 12:54pm

Hello,

Trying to update my portable Chrome browser, as I did many times before - running GoogleChromePortable_89.0.4389.114_online.paf.exe and directing it to install into my main Chrome directory.
However, now the exe stub gets stuck right at the start of the download phase, refusing to draw in and download anything. It just displays "connecting...", and after a while shows an error message (ERROR: SendRequest Error). Same error after some more attempts.

Installing an extension in Portable After Effects

Submitted by inactive_user on March 28, 2021 - 12:35pm

Hey! I have installed After Effects portable. Then I installed the Motion3 extension. When Motion3 starts, a blank window opens. Who can explain how to write an extension in After Effects so that the program can see it?

Someone said that you need to register the extension in After Effects.ini, but I do not know how to do it.
The ini file itself is located at:
Portable Adobe After Effects \ App \ AppInfo \ Launcher \ After Effects.ini

Thank you in advance!

How long?

What is the average time from posting a Beta release to get it tested and approved?
Seems that there are many in the list that have not been moving forward.

Thanks,
John Z

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.
