General Discussion

Hi all! We've chatted before about introducing some premium features to PortableApps.com as a way of supporting and growing our efforts to build our platform, tools, and app selection. The goal would be to provide useful functionality at a reasonable cost above and beyond what we offer in our current setup, not to take the route of walling off existing features behind a paywall or switch away from an open source model. And, to a lesser extent, to provide more of an incentive to allow people to pay for the software as a business expense as many can't justify a 'donation'.

I'd post this to the "Chrome" forum if there was one.
Ouch. I'm almost too psyched to write this, but it's the second occurrence, the last time being a year or so ago, and using some earlier version of Portable Chrome.
Download Chrome. Install it (in the portable sense of course - could be to HD but in my case to USB stick). Use it a bit.
Delete the Chrome/Data subfolder.
(I often do this: also on Firefox, FileZilla, 7-Zip, .. ..)
Use Chrome again. Experience serious problems such as:

Hello everyone, I have recently discovered portable apps and have been looking exactly for something like this. I do a lot of work on different devices all the time and this is perfect for organizing. I have a 256gb Samsung USB that's type c as well. Sometimes I work on files on my phone so a type c flash drive is very helpful. I understand that portable apps won't work on Android and that's ok but would I still be able to use the flash drive as before to work on files when plugged into my phone? Should I split the 256gb into different partitions?

I use Coffee to do file associations portably on my WinPC (Coffee is a mod of eXpresso, and very similar).

However Launchy (I use it in portable mode) doesn't send clicks to Coffee / eXpresso. Any thoughts on how I could get Launchy to send clicks there?

Or if Launchy has its own custom file association mechanism?

Note: I've added Launchy to Coffee / eXpresso via "Monitored Window Configuration", but that didn't solve it.

This has seemingly been an issue for a long, long while (years?) but I only realized some funky stuff now today. I searched the forums for answers and came up empty, and I don't see support channels for the website itself... hopefully this is the right spot? If not, let me where to go and I'll happily report the bugs to the proper place. The shortest gist of it is that the RSS feeds for portableapps.com are labeled incorrectly, nonexistent, and off-site too.

Hi. im having problems with PAF.EXE files.
Recently, i've re-installed Windows 8.1pro by a problem updating drivers.
I have my same Windows version again. OK.

PORTABLE FACERIG?

Some funny administrator with time has erased this post.

Hi,

I just found out, the hard way, that PortableApps deletes app directory on update, including config/data files. Ouch.

This is nothing new, apparently:

etc.

I'm a light user of the platform, and I lost only a pair of hours of work or so (though it's going to be challenging to remember all the things lost, actually).

I'm not an expert, just passing this along as a word of caution.

This is probably not a problem for causal users of GnuGP. Temporarily it would be advisable NOT to refresh certificates from the SKS keyserver network. Particularly if your keyring has GnuPG contributors Robert J. Hansen (rjh) or Daniel Kahn Gillmor (dkg) who were victims of a certificate spamming attack.

I decided to take a look at the Brave browser rewards program. After a slightly tedious signup, here's what I found:
