General Discussion

Hello,

I recently discovered this website,and i have used quite i lot,
and now i would like to start making my own portable apps,
but i don't now where do start and what i need to do.

Could someone please explain it to me?

Ps: Sorry for my english i'm not british and kinda bad at english.

How can I move Portable Apps from one location to another WITHOUT custom settings or user data; just like freshly installed apps.

Can the developers create high resolution start menu with HD icons and search bar? Though the text looks completely fine on FHD display. The icons are very blurry and pixelated. I'll be very glad if they do so.

I recently switched the Google Chrome Portable Beta and Dev channels to 64-bit from 32-bit. I did this as it's currently not a dual mode 32-bit + 64-bit app due to the touchy launcher and portablization. I'm considering switching Firefox's Beta, Dev, and Nightly channels as well as Thunderbird's Beta channel to 64-bit only. It's currently a dual mode app, but I'm wagering than anyone wanting to test out upcoming features is probably not using an old Windows 32-bit machine. This would save on build and upload time.

I use dual boot windows 10 OSes, if i open the portable iron browser from another windows OS, then all of my add-ons, setting will be gone

this happens when i used the official portable iron browser form their site

will the portable iron browser from this portableapps site, acts any differently ?

the same also applies to the official portable vivaldi,slimjet, opera

and how about all the chromium based portable browsers from portableapps, will they act like the official ones or as true portables ?

thanks

is it possible for portable apps to recognize external portable apps?

example freefilesync 11.14 portable

I've been trying to find a portable android emulator for a while now and even though I've seen some attempts at it or even portable VM software, most of it is either too old or not that portable enough.

Is there any emulator that could be put on PortableApps that works and it's fairly recent?

sPortable
Ver 8.80.0.143
Windows 10 Ver 21H2

Downloaded to USB drive and attempted installation. About halfway through the install an error message came up stating that the version of Skype was not valid and would not be installed.

I closed the PAF installer, deleted it, downloaded a new copy. Same issue with the error message. sPortable (Skype Portable) will not install.

Are we allowed to request apps that are free and open source, but do not have Windows binaries precompiled by the developer? If so, your platform could provide an amazing public service by becoming the only source of Windows binaries for such programs.

I see new apps available now and then. If I were to take some time and create a portable installer for an application not currently in the catalog - what is the process for getting it added to the catalog? I presume there is some testing, validation, etc. that must be done along the way.

Thanks
