Portable apps issue...with possibly Stardock fences

Submitted by dbien on February 17, 2018 - 12:43pm

Hi everyone

Installing/using Portableapps menu on my pc I have the following issue:

- at some moment, maybe after going to 'options', my desktop icons disappear
- some kind of unwanted (more or less blank) window appear

Could it be an incompatibility with Stardock Fences that I am using ?

Any help welcome

Proposed Feature: Individual App Update Checks

Hey gang. I'm considering implementing a new feature into the app launchers and wanted to get feedback and suggestions. The idea is to let the individual app launchers be able to check for updates of their apps independently of the PortableApps.com Platform. This would be designed for folks that use the apps outside the platform and would automatically be disabled when the launcher is used in conjunction with the platform.

Disabling Subject on Forum Replies

Is there a way to disable the subject when replying to messages on the forum?

I understand the purpose of it when you're creating a topic but it doesn't seem to serve a purpose for replies and I constantly find myself ( a ) having to make something up when replying or (b) forgetting to put something in the subject and having to edit the reply because it just grabs the first few words of the reply and puts it in the subject.

Criteria to get an app accepted?

I've developed an open source note-taking app, which currently needs to be installed but since it only reads and writes from its own profile directory it would be easy to make it portable. As a PortableApps user myself I wouldn't mind doing the extra work to package it.

I'm wondering though what are the criteria to get an app accepted here? Basically before doing the work of making it portable and packaging it, is there any way to know if it's going to be accepted?
