General Discussion

I just noticed 3 things today related to with this app. It had been a while since I used the software due to trying to switch over and learn Linux. There is a new update, but the release notes do not discuss these items. I know John and company vet everything out, which is why I ask
1) The last time I updated, the privacy settings reverted to being checked {To disable usage data sharing 'Options' - 'Privacy'}. Is this a new PIRIFORM thing to reset the setting even on portable apps?

Hi,

After unpacking Portableapps Chrome, would it work properly if I replaced the new profile with the profile from the previous version? If so, is there any other adjustments needed to make it work without complications?

These portable apps are more helpful and working friendly.
But one is problems by me there no auto-installer.
Please fix this problem.
Thanks, Dev Team.

Hello,

Noticed http traffic coming from PortableAppsUpdater.exe. Is it possible to configure https only?

Hello,

I'm setting up a Thunderbird/NextCloud system (email/contact/diary) for the leaders of my association. At home, Bitdefender doesn't notice anything but their antivirus tells me there is a problem.
Back home, I go to virustotal.com and, while analyzing the exe of Thunderbird portable, it discovers a trojan (Trojan.MSIL.qhua ). I am very annoyed of course.
What do you think about it?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

How can I make a new video reuse an existing instance of SMPlayer?

When loading a video in SMPlayer (smplayerportable.exe) and then using openwith for another video file a new instance of SMPlayer is opened (ie 2 are running). Even setting windows file association to smplayerportable.exe opens a new instance.

What I've tried / verified:
SMPlayer is set to only use one instance.
Setting AllowMultipleInstances=false in the .ini does nothing (yes it's been moved to the correct location as the splash screen gets disabled)

Kodi demands a shortcut with a "-p" argument to work this way.

The problem is that shortcuts don't appear/work with PortableApps.com launcher.

The problem with that, is that instead of launching the portable Kodi, it's launching the actually installed Kodi.

I'd like to be able to sample different builds simply (and eventually get rid of the installed Kodi).

So I see there's a method to accomplish this, mentioned here: https://portableapps.com/node/18390

Subject: Launching QOwnNotes Portable 20.9.7 sometimes erases user data

Background

Recently, I installed QOwnNotes Portable 20.9.4. Over the course of a few days, I created some notes and installed a few dictionaries. This (20.9.4) worked well. Then I installed the latest (20.9.7) over it.
