Use temp Path on HDD or SSD to enlarge USB-Stick Life Time

Submitted by md_ingo on June 10, 2019 - 10:11am

Hallo,

I am new here.

So first portabel Apps works fine, but one point is the same open so I used it not in the past.

Portable Apps uses often directly the space on the portable Apps Media, so if a tool, game, other program save often data, some USB-Sticks (MLC-technology is often used and so the write cycles are limited to 3000 if I am correct).

So why portable apps does not use the system temp folder and after ending or with special portal apps command will only then write it back to the USB MEDIA.

Delay AutoStart Apps

Submitted by wKovacs on June 6, 2019 - 2:31am

Hello,

I like PortableApps!

But I have a minor "problem" ...

I have a few apps which autostart on portableapps start. But almost every day one of them has an update available. So I have to close the app, install the update and start this app again.

Is there a way to delay the autostart of a program until the update check for them is done? and if there is a update the autostart will follow the update?

Regards

Admin rights

Submitted by Gaber on June 3, 2019 - 7:10am

Hi,

with my computers (W7 and W10) I have the same behaviour.

When the systems were new (or reformatted) the launchers (the programs created with PortableApps Launcher) worked fine.
After some time (may be after other programs installations), Windows, EVERY TIME I launch a PApps applications (EVERY APPLICATIONS), show the window to execute them with admin privileges.

The normal programs start normally.

How can you explain this? An how can I correct it?

Thanks.

Thunderbird 60.7 crashed when moving from one pc to another.

Loading on to 2nd pc thunderbird did not show my 5 email accounts and I seem to have lost all my folders and all my current and saved email history. What it did request was to set up an initial email account - which I did - and this obviously modified my profile. Somewhere I found that if my address book was accessible then perhaps the rest (all that I have seemingly lost) could be still available. I have looked at my profile and there are some large files - might these be my history and lost files. Can I rescue these files. I am a relative novice in this area. Help please.

Onn thumb drives

Submitted by prr on May 29, 2019 - 7:31pm

I have seen Walmart branded thumb drives--the Onn line.

Has anyone used them? I am rather hesitant to use it, when I can get an equivalent storage drive for just a couple bucks more fom sandisk or kingston.

But I'm always open to saving money. I suppose people here use a lot of thumb drives, so I'm wondering if folks here have had good or bad experiences with that line.

When I click a link in an e-mail a new window of Firefox opens without my add ons, bookmarks and settings

Submitted by Dirki on May 29, 2019 - 3:47am

When I click a link in an e-mail a new window of Firefox opens (without my add ons, bookmarks and settings) instead of the link to be opened in the same Firefox window.

How could I correct it?
