Eject not working with the new 15.x versions

Submitted by DaveI on May 15, 2018 - 7:17pm

Starting on Sunday when the new 15 version came out the EJECT is no longer fully working
for me on two different Thumb drives. I am having to eject the thumb drives using the Windows 10
ejection. This was not a problem with the previous 14.x versions.
I just updated again today to the latest 15.x fixes...But still EJECT is not working and requires that
I use the Windows 10 eject to properly eject the Thumb Drives. Again this was not an issue for me
with the PortableApps 14.x versions. OS is WIndows 10 Pro 1709 (32bit). Regards.

Convert a installed software to a portable software question

Submitted by asper on May 15, 2018 - 1:42pm

hello to all,
I would like to turn a program (commercial) into a portable application that I would use only on my stick, I only have the problem that uses on the computer where I installed a .ini file that is in the folder "C: \ Users \ [UserName] \ AppData \ Local \ "and without this file in this exact location the program does not work, how can I configure the launcher to recreate the same structure on the host computer and allow the program to work?
Thanks in advance for any advice or information you can give me

A quick question about platform

Submitted by phanhuyen345 on May 15, 2018 - 5:38am

I'm familiar with the concept of portable applications, and I use the portable version of many of the applications that I use on a daily basis. But they don't need any special "platform" to run them - you just unzip them, and the configuration information is kept in a file instead of in the Windows registry. You can put the whole thing on a USB drive if desired, or wherever you want. So what exactly is the purpose of this PortableApps "platform"? What does it do? Why should I install it?

Thanks,

Pyfa

I would like to add Pyfa which is an EVE online ship fitting simulator. The software is licensed with GPL v3.0 and hosted on GitHub. I have created the installer from the current release and would like to add it to the portable apps platform. The GitHub page is: https://github.com/pyfa-org/Pyfa

Any Linux users here?

I want to put my passwords ( using Lastpass) on an USB Stick.

I use Linux (Ubuntu 17.10) and an Android mobile phone

I have a 32GB swivel stick with USB one side and USB C for the phone.

I have looked at Firefox and Chrome but there only seems to be Windows .exe files which won't run on Linux.

Am I missing something here as I have searched your website for a Linux version.

I'd appreciate any help here.

Ampers.

Feature Request - Hide Apps

Submitted by rectitude on May 11, 2018 - 7:33pm

Hi,

I don't know if this has been requested previously but when I am using non-PA.c application, often they have multiple entries; which aren't relevant to the main programs' operation, e.g. ImageMagick so could it would be great if the Developer(s) could implement a feature such as this for convenience.

Also, I may have mentioned before but it would also be nice to suppress updating of specified little-used programs and have an option that when opened it will search for updates; that way I don't have to remove them (apps) entirely but otherwise a great effort ongoing.
