Hello!
When you update a portable app using the platform, it automatically downloads files.
Is there a way to keep those files?

Hi,
I have searched this forum for any issues with spaces in names, and only see mentions of the path.
I have an app (PhotoFiltre) for which, if I pass an image file name as parameter, it will only work if the image file name does not contain any spaces (e.g. "test.jpg" will work and open once the app launched, but "some test.jpg" won't open after app launched).
I have added "NoSpacesInPath=false" in ini [launch] section, but unsurprisingly this does not help as I understand it to be for the app path, and it's false as default anyway.

Hi,

I made my own portable app launcher. It is like "lite" version of PAF's launcher. I want to share it with portable app lovers.

Here is github link. You can download it from releases section.

No Brasil usamos o PIX como meio de pagamento. Muitos gostariam de ajudar o projeto Portable Apps mas não usam cartão de crédito ou Paypal. Eu mesmo poderia fazer uma doação se PortableApps.com recebesse através do PIX.
In Brazil we use PIX as a payment method. Many would like to help the Portable Apps project but don't use a credit card or Paypal. I could make a donation myself if PortableApps.com received it through PIX.

we are all affected by the crisis and so ram optimizer apps get more and more important. i was hoping to find here a opensource app. i found here nothing, besides maybe a discussion or request of RAMagic or so.
i had long time ago one but cant remember the name and try to relieve it else/differently.
if i get to and find a nice opensource app, i try to post a request, as RAMagic seem only freeware.
lets see if we get such an app in the repository soon to assuage the pain, i'm looking to it.

Latest version of Chrome is throwing a 404:
GoogleChromePortable_147.0.7727.102_online.paf.exe

Do I need to worry about this? I always update from the PortableApps platform. This kind of attack seems to be happening a lot lately, with Notepad++ website getting hacked last in a similar manner.

Not sure if these types of post are allowed here but for those who use portableapps or veracrypt in particular the developer is in need of some assistance to keep the project going.

I'll link the post he made recently regarding the project status below here and if anyone can direct him to the proper channels or provide some helpful information for him, I'm more than sure he and the FOSS community will greatly appreciate it!

TL/DR:

I cannot find BOINC in app market now, and there is no explanation for that in "Outdated Official Portable Applications".
What happened to BOINC? Is it no longer supported?

I see that CamStudio 3.X is listed under the section of apps that have either changed their license to commercial, time limited shareware or MS store exclusive and will not be updated. But when I visit their website it states the software is released under the GNU license. Their FAQs also state the application is free to use, no paywalls, or subscription fees. And lastly to acquire the app it states all you need to do is download the .exe and launch it.
