General Discussion

Hi all,
I just came across this site by accident.
Glad I did!
My question is can I use portable apps on my Asus transformer T3
When I tried to open I selected start exe but the message says failed to open. Am I doing it wrong or...?
Ideas or instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Hi All,

I have a SanDisk Cruzer (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSBTBjr4w24reXwnII-...)

4GB, my problem is someway only the Firefox which is running extremely slow, it hangs and not responding and takes ages to open up a new page or change from one tab to another.

I formatted the drive and copid back all of my data issue still exist.

The used space is only about 300 MB.

Hello.
Is there any possibility to launch *.lnk files referring to windows installed applications from portableapps platform? I'd like to integrate portableapps starter and windows menu start to one unit and it could be a grate alternative for modern windows (like 8 and 8.1) to have a one starting menu with portable applications and locally installed windows applications, if there will be a possible to execute shortcuts from portableapps platform.

So , i came across this

I live it, nice program used chrome its works great BUT have not logged in with my master account, which has my bookmarks extensions, passwords etc

How do i know if Google Chrome Portable app is Backdoored? or has a slient trojen. Since its pure open source?

Who makes these apps?
Where do they come from?
Why cant i update the app - When i go google settings it says error on update

Thank You

We're temporarily running a 'skyscraper' ad in the lower left of the site to analyze revenue vs the standard 'Sponsored Links' list. This is also to see whether AdSense visual ads (image and rich) have improved vs our last look at them when loads of 'fake download' buttons had proliferated. If you see any fake download button or similar ads, please post a note here and let us know so we can disable that site in Google AdSense. (AdSense has really poor tools for excluding deceptive ads and no tools for reporting them, unfortunately)

Hey Guys

Just a suggestion for Sumatra PDFs App Description

Sumatra PDF is currently described as a "a lightweight PDF viewer" in the Portable Apps Directory page (https://portableapps.com/apps)

Based on Sumatra PDFs main site (http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/free-pdf-reader.html) - a more accurate description would be

- A lightweight PDF viewer, Comic Book reader, and E-book Viewer

OR

- Lightweight document viewer (PDF, ePub, MOBI, CHM, XPS, DjVu, CBZ, CBR)

Hi,

When I click PortableFileAssociatordoes.exe it does nothing. Nothing is opening.

-I format my laptop with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit English. I have did all Windows updates first.

-I remove Data folder but it changes nothing.

-I redownload it again but nothing changed.

-I start it from command line. But it types nothing.

-I am using 2.2.1.8 version (which is latest stable).

Is there any possible reason such a case happen?

Thank you

Hi,

Why I can not block portable apps with Windows default Firewall?

I try this command as administrator rights:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="PORTABLE_WiseDiskCleaner" dir=out action=block program="E:\PortableApps\PortableApps\WiseDiskCleanerPortable\App\WiseDiskCleaner\WiseDiskCleaner.exe"

But WiseDiskCleaner still use my network. How can I block with Windows default firewall (or settings)?

Thanks in advance

"Download xxxAPPNAMExxx" shouldn't appear on the page and the green download button graphic is missing. That, or something else isn't right on the following page

Please delete thread after looking into this. Thanx!
