why not one ff version like other apps?

Submitted by UpdateInformer on July 22, 2025 - 1:45pm

not sure why you cant build one ff
i think other apps prompt directly lng selector
why so much work on ff?
hope you can shrink to one or
at least use ai to build
you would save much traffic and time
you said, if remember well, that its understanding issue for users but
i think all your apps prompt directly lng selector, like npp or
do i mix with other app?
hope it helps
thx
ps
bold letters to get you read it before you create 1000 builds
will change after response

New Chrome Exploit - Google has patched these exploits in version 138.0.7204.97.

In this video, "URGENT — New Chrome Exploit - UPDATE NOW! (Also Edge/Brave/Opera)" by ThioJoe, he provides details on these exploits:

The simple fix is to navigate to Help/About Google Chrome (chrome://settings/help) but for all versions of Google Chrome Portable I've used, the update does not occur, and I get this message.

An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start (error code 1: 0X80004005).

click the close "x" button on an app ---> send app to system tray

Submitted by thank_you_for_p... on June 19, 2025 - 4:10pm

Is there any utility to do this?

click the close "x" button on an app ---> send app to system tray

Can AutoHotKey maybe do this?

I want to do this with VLC.

For some reason I have a terrible habit of clicking on the close "x" button with the intention of sending it to the system tray.

Let me know, thanks.

Textify Portable "did not close properly" error appears every launch, unlike other PortableApps

Submitted by chrisfox on June 19, 2025 - 6:21am

Hi, I’ve encountered a persistent issue with the PortableApps version of Textify Portable and was wondering if anyone has a solution.

Every time I start my PC and launch Textify Portable (PortableApps is starting automatically with Windows and Textify is configured to start up in PortableApps), I get the following error message:
"Textify Portable did not close properly last time it was run and will now clean up. Please then start Textify Portable again manually."
