General Discussion

Hi, I want to start Textify automatically with PortableApps (ie. not with Windows). So I have done this: PortableApps WINDOW | RIGHT-CLICK | 'Start Automatically'
The problem is that starting Textify without the "-hidewnd" argument displays its windows when PortableApps is starting, so I need to add "-hidewnd". How can I add this? Which PortableApps startup file should I edit for this?

The Irfanview website suggests using the 32-bit version. Do I have to operate it from here?

Can the i_view32.ini settings from the install version be used? If so, where do I put them?

Right now, the portable version toolbar displays differently than the install, is there an adjustment for this?

i hope for a tip, as need very bad to find a solution on that to finally get life (again) managed, thx!
found nice app, unclear how to use.
does app like Kanban Board App save settings on sys or in app directory?
its kinda local app, is save to use allthough 5years no update?
seem great app, but no manual on github.
i think it will be like open html file with browser, right?
may be a bit bad to set in code but however.
EDIT
i search a offline calendar-kanban app to get finally (all) orginized...
found a list to work through...

One some update I read that PortableApps will merge Chrome 32-bit and 64-bit as one soon. (Currently, the official PortableApps Chrome is only 32-bit).

Chrome (32-bit) has been running very slow lately.

I'm hoping that 64-bit will change things up.

Anyone know when the grand Chrome merge will happen? (32-bit and 64-bit as one)

no idea, is it a potential problem to potzabilize?
thx

not sure its a real opensource, did we had issues with that calendar+kanban app?
is it generall a problem or only if the dev requests to delete it or did we deleted it to prevent quarel?
stumbled over app with this licence and thinking if should put lower in research list or cancel.
thx

mentioned update method is kinda gold standard for portable.
i think even better would be if one puts data and setting folder out of main app directory so one could delete old app and just adjust linking in new app.
not sure if all portable apps or at least these here can this, need feedback from team on this.
i maybe ask seperately, as important and very interesting.

Summary

At about 1:25pm on April 3, 2025, an outage due to a bug in a Drupal module upgrade affected multiple components of the PortableApps.com infrastructure. This affected visiting our website and downloading/updating apps via the PortableApps.com Platform. The website and app downloads/updates were brought back online at 10:35pm on April 4th with outgoing email notifications, RSS feeds, and connectivity for XP/Vista being fixed over the coming days.

A Module Upgrade Goes Wrong: April 3 @ 1:25pm

Hi All,

I wanted to get some feedback from the community on approaching apps as they drop compatibility with Windows 7/8. My typical approach is to create a legacy package of the last supported version, automatically (when practical) create a legacy copy alongside as the user upgrades to the incompatible version of Win 7, and make the legacy package available in the PA.c App Store and from the app's homepage.

hi dear community,
how are the experiences with using portable libreoffice on flash drive like usb pen?
are the standard sandisc usb 3.0 or up enough for some spreadshit use?
or need to look for a small simply spreadshit?
would possibly like also to open some impress presentation.
hope its possible.
happy to hear your experience!
thx!
