Hi!
If a portable app appears on SourceForge, but not in the News section yet, is it safe to download it?
For instance, I saw that Firefox ESR 68.2.0 is ready on SourceForge, but not in News.

Hello,

Firefox 70 has just recently hit the stable release, and it updates a lot of stuff, but the update I'm talking about here is the new logo.
The portable Firefox apps (Firefox, Firefox Beta, Firefox Dev, Firefox Nightly) still use the previous logo, so these apps should change their logo as soon as possible, preferrably when PortableApps.com mods update the said apps.

I've installed Portable Apps on my flash drive but would like to change the default name that the installer created. I've tried standard ways to change what name appears when I put the flash drive in a system, but no luck. Any ideas?

Is it possible to make a version of Portable Apps that would be specifically for macOS in the future? I love the idea, and since my college doesn't have many of the apps I use on a daily basis preinstalled on any system, I have a huge folder of apps that I carry around on my flash drive (PC), and my USB Hard Drive (macOS)

I'm still using Opera 12. It's just faster with the keyboard shortcuts and nicknames for the websites that I visit.

But there are some sites where the layout is broken.

I have keyboard shortcuts to automatically open the site in Firefox or Chrome, but for quick reference of sites that I don't need to specifically browse, I've discovered that K-mellon portable, as simple and lightweight and feature stripped it is, opens quickly and renders some sites pretty quickly and accurately.

I noticed that there are some 7-Zip registry entries left behind. So I changed the launcher.ini and added the following line:

[RegistryCleanupForce]
1=HKCU\Software\7-zip

Is this line appropriate in this case? Will this break the app in other ways? So far, I haven't noticed any adverse affects.

Feature request:

I would love to see a "Check integrity" feature in the PortableApps "Start" app that checks selected portable apps for hash errors and re-installs the ones found with hash errors.

Portable installer breaks down upon filing all information
ver 3.,5.14
A directory with one exe.
sub directory "b" with 5 exe Nothing else
it only makes App/Appinfo
and Others/source
That it. And Breaks

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.
