X button & sys tray double click clarifications

Submitted by Jasmines21 on August 18, 2021 - 4:16pm

Hi, please can I check about the following two points:

a) confirm that the 'X' button, which I read is the close button, is present so that the PorableApps can be closed, without needing to eject a USB stick. Just this seems to be a duplication of the option offered by a right click of the power button - and so am wondering if there is some additional other function/use to the X button.

WSUS-like solution for LAN deployment of apps

Submitted by cubiclesoft on July 22, 2021 - 10:45am

Just released a little project I've been working on for the last few weeks:

https://github.com/cubiclesoft/portable-apps-mirror-proxy

It's a mirror/proxy server for the Portable Apps platform designed for LAN usage. Kind of WSUS-like but specifically for use with the client updater software via its HTTP(S) proxy configuration mechanism.

documentation for portable apps launcher code

Submitted by robert2019 on July 12, 2021 - 6:04am

I want to modify the code for the launcher and contribute my mod back to the community. I can't find any documentation for the code. Am I looking in the wrong place? I looked at github and I looked in the development section of the portable apps website. Yes I can read the code but that would take a while.

Cloud drive portable app

Submitted by portiappi on July 10, 2021 - 2:39am

Is there a portableapps version of DropBox, OneDrive or other?
I run portable apps from within an encrypted VeraCrypt container on my work computer. I'd like to sync the contents of my PortableApps Documents folder without installing or logging in to a cloud service outside of the encrypted container.

Searching for portableapps cloud results in instructions how to run portable apps from a cloud service, so I'm aware that what I'm looking for may be backwards.
Thanks
