How do I force the reinstall of a specific app?

Submitted by np on August 28, 2019 - 10:53am

A few days ago, I had to (literally) pull the plug (remove the usb drive) on a LibreOffice update (it had passed the three hour mark, and I had to leave and take the flash drive with me). Side question - why does no way exist to more smoothly abort an install? Anyway, I fell almost certain that the update did not complete (even though LibreOffice doesn't appear on the list of updates now), and I want to force the update program to to try again (i will allocate a time where I can let it run overnight).

on https://www.liberkey.com/, there is very interesting feature, The strong value of this software is file association tool because it is most crucial feature that are not available on portableapps and with liberkey, you can say goodbye to installer and run files directly to portable software

I hope portableapps also able to implement this feature because there is around hundreds of file extensions i need to associate with portableapps.

Hello,

I would like to report a problem that happened to me when I upgraded to Google Chrome Portable Dev 78.0.3880.4
So, I did successfully upgraded to said version, however, when I opened it, some text appeared under the bookmarks:

You are using an unsupported environment variable: SSLKEYLOGFILE. Stability and security will suffer.

What does it mean and is this a Google issue or not?

My PC details: running Windows 7 64-bit, PA.c Platform installed into the root of my drive (a.k.a. K:\PortableApps.com Platform)

What even happened to the modding scene? there used to be such a HUGE portabelapps.com Platform modding scene and then it kinda vanished around 2009 with a few remnants only being custom skins...

This is me being curious as almost ALL of the modding tools have vanished from the web so i cant even download a older version and try them out

Launch App with flags?

Submitted by Merith-TK on August 10, 2019 - 2:19am

This is mainly for applications that ARNT in the portable apps store. So targeting single.exe files,

Is it possible to pass a directory flag to it? for example. I want a program to open in a folder, so if i were to run it with cmd i would use program.exe C:\Folder

is is possible to do this to apps? or would i have to compile a EXE to launch another EXE like this?

Hi,

I have many instances/copies of Portable Firefox for testing: v52, v57, v60 and also each with their fresh, no addons, some addons, etc. instances. I don't name the folder to "AppNamePortable_Copy_2(3, etc.)" as in the manual.
