Hidy ho all,

I wanted to know if there was a way to encrypt the portable apps folders. And only allow a user to access programs and files via the portable apps launcher. And finally, if you could have it so when you launched portable apps, it wouldn't work without a password entry.

Just a little extra security, should you lose your flash drive.

I just had an idea. How about a Telegram group for our PA.c Devs? Tell me what you think

Hello,

I have some access issues to some of SourceForge mirrors.
It turned out that the default one is blocked on my network.

My question / suggestion is, can one make the PoartableApps manager to download using specific mirrors?
As things now I can't update (At least not automatically) my programs.

Thank You.

So does the Google Chrome Portable installer download a fresh copy of Google Chrome from the Google servers?

The following works great: Running the Portable Apps launcher, and then selecting a specific portable app to run.

I'm wondering if it is equally as easy to run Portable Apps without the launcher UI.

Here are my questions:

1. Is it possible to run a Portable App (and keep it portable) without having the Portable Apps launcher UI running? For example, to run portable app ABC, can you just run ABCPortable.exe (where "ABCPortable.exe" is any of the Portable Apps available through the PortableApps launcher)?

Hello everyone.
I have an idea, don't know if is it possible (but I guess so).
The idea is: as you launch portableapps.com platform from your drive, sset file association and default programs, then as you exit everything should be turned back to OS defaults.
Please, let me know if will this be added.

Bye, Ivano.

Hello @all,

Although the language is set to English or British English in the options menu, the language of many applications eg VLC anf Filezilla and Ultratorrent is still displayed in the operating system language, as this Japanese,this makes it extremely difficult to change anything! And is one of my prime reasons for using the postableapps base. In fact, if the language of VLC is changed to English, the application language of the original install of VLC changes as well!
