Can PortableApps do what XTraPC can do? Boot from the USB? https://www.xtra-pc.com/
Is there a way to find out the post link before posting so it can be included in help.html and appinfi.ini the first time posting, or do I just upload the installer twice to Sourceforge?
Also if I forgot some info. in the help.html and appinfi.ini do I need to increment the Dev test number or is it only for something that affects the running of the software?
I found myself installing a certain very large portable app into the wrong folder and helplessly stared at it as it kept installing.
Could you add a stop button into the *.paf.exe files?
That's how it usually is in other installers.
It should be especially easy in this case as the installer basically extracts files. So just stop extracting them and delete their folder.
What is the order of release versions?
For example if I take a portable app and make it PortableApps.com Format what should the first release version be called?
Should it be alpha, beta, or dev test 1 or something else?
First, let me thank everyone involved for portable apps. Use it daily.
One app I really like, Opera (has a built in VPN!), is somehow horribly implemented on Portable Apps. I don't know what it's doing, maybe sending files to the mothership, but it takes minutes for it to shutdown properly and there is an intense amount of disk activity involved. If you don't wait for it to finish, you'll get a "not properly closed/cleaned" message when you attempt to start it next and then you'll wait and wait with no indication that it has completed its mission - whatever that is.
Hey guys,
Nice meeting you all. Thanks for accepting me to the forum. Looking for a great time of discussions, learning and lot more.
Cheers!
Thank you.
Has anyone had problems with the Money manager ex app. I have been using it for a couple of years with no problem.
The latest update crashed the whole app.
I loaded a new platform to a fresh USB stick and installed the app and when it is opened I get a fatal error.

Before I had updated N++ I could drag and drop text from the web, but now I can't.
When I copy the foder \PortableApps\PortableApps\AIMPPortable\App\AIMP to another location outside of PortableApps what other folders / file do I have to copy to use Aimp outside of PortableApps?
I read the tracker on my smartphone (in portrait mode) and was able to see the Title, Forum or Topic and Replies field.
Now the Title field takes up the whole screen width which means have to continually swip left to see the Replies field which is useful in Tracker mode.
This happened a couple of days ago, was it done on purpose?
