General Discussion

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.

The following 4 apps receive the same message: "The downloaded copy of...is not valid and can not be installed."
They are:
1) Autoruns
2) DebugView
3) VMMap
4) Zoomit

When using PAP to update Process Monitor, it delivers a message box with a 404 error ("Download Error: File not found").

Is this a PortableApps issue or an upstream issue that needs to be reported elsewhere?

I'm getting this error when launching the installer: https://i.imgur.com/N0JeSLx.png

Some advice would be appreciated

I'm looking to automate the installation of a couple portable application into a build process.

I was wondering if there is an API available to get the list of version for a specific application. I'm willing and able to just scrape the web pages, but I was hoping there might be a more official and sanctioned way to get this data.

Thank you!
