You may have noticed that platform, NSIS, and PA.c Installer releases have been adding languages at a fast pace lately. The platform now supports 80 locales (all complete translations) and the installer and NSIS support 86. I've been working to improve the worldwide availability of our work as much as possible. To that end, I'm looking at increasing the number of languages supported by Firefox and Thunderbird. Unfortunately, build times are quite long.

Hi,

I using Windows (11) and I have an issue my apps cannot be launched from a single panel launcher. I have some apps installed in Windows and some portable apps opensource and not opensource as well. As a result, you never know if you have to access them:
a/ from the Windows button
b/ or from a portable launcher.

¿Is there a way to make that PAF's online installers use the proxy server configured at the Portable Apps Platform?

My PC died so I transferred the backup drive to another system. But when I tried to run Thunderbird Portable (TBP) it told me to go f**k myself. Well it didn't say so literally and I can't recreate the issue with error as now if I try to open the backup it just refuses to open at all. It does show up in Task Manager for a bit but then just disappears.

I am looking for help in installing portable apps for use with Google drive? I have access to a windows laptop and a linux desktop

Hello,

I recently discovered this website,and i have used quite i lot,
and now i would like to start making my own portable apps,
but i don't now where do start and what i need to do.

Could someone please explain it to me?

Ps: Sorry for my english i'm not british and kinda bad at english.

How can I move Portable Apps from one location to another WITHOUT custom settings or user data; just like freshly installed apps.

Can the developers create high resolution start menu with HD icons and search bar? Though the text looks completely fine on FHD display. The icons are very blurry and pixelated. I'll be very glad if they do so.

I recently switched the Google Chrome Portable Beta and Dev channels to 64-bit from 32-bit. I did this as it's currently not a dual mode 32-bit + 64-bit app due to the touchy launcher and portablization. I'm considering switching Firefox's Beta, Dev, and Nightly channels as well as Thunderbird's Beta channel to 64-bit only. It's currently a dual mode app, but I'm wagering than anyone wanting to test out upcoming features is probably not using an old Windows 32-bit machine. This would save on build and upload time.

I use dual boot windows 10 OSes, if i open the portable iron browser from another windows OS, then all of my add-ons, setting will be gone

this happens when i used the official portable iron browser form their site

will the portable iron browser from this portableapps site, acts any differently ?

the same also applies to the official portable vivaldi,slimjet, opera

and how about all the chromium based portable browsers from portableapps, will they act like the official ones or as true portables ?

thanks
