General Discussion

Hi,

I just found out, the hard way, that PortableApps deletes app directory on update, including config/data files. Ouch.

This is nothing new, apparently:
https://portableapps.com/node/58211
https://portableapps.com/node/43334
etc.

I'm a light user of the platform, and I lost only a pair of hours of work or so (though it's going to be challenging to remember all the things lost, actually).

I'm not an expert, just passing this along as a word of caution.

This is probably not a problem for causal users of GnuGP. Temporarily it would be advisable NOT to refresh certificates from the SKS keyserver network. Particularly if your keyring has GnuPG contributors Robert J. Hansen (rjh) or Daniel Kahn Gillmor (dkg) who were victims of a certificate spamming attack.

I decided to take a look at the Brave browser rewards program. After a slightly tedious signup, here's what I found:

Any idea if you'll have USB sticks again. Or even stickers?

I've come back to windows after many decades primarily using linux. my distro abandoned 32bit apps.so, I bought a new HP laptop (that claims to be 64 bit). I' tryed to use portable apps as they had previously met my needs. when I try to use Libre Office or GIMP, both fail immediately. how about publishing a list of what works on windows 10?

Upon testing portable versions of various programs made with the portableapps platform (coming in a folder with the exe and the app and data subfolders), I've noticed I cannot run any unless they are are in the C: root folder. Program crashes instantly upon launching. What am I missing here?

Copying a USB Drive does not copy Firefox or Firefox Private Browsing completely. Errors, not able to find several items.

Hi,

I'm in trouble...

I would know if is possible, before open an app, close another, and after close this app reopen the other closed.

I have this problem:

Two free programs (both natively portable) AdMunch and Index Your Files.

AdMunch starts with computer, so is always opened.
When I start Index Your FIles, if AdMunch is opened, the main window bacame very little and locke (no resizable).

So I have to close manually AM, open IYF, close YOF, and reopen AM.

Hallo,

I am new here.

So first portabel Apps works fine, but one point is the same open so I used it not in the past.

Portable Apps uses often directly the space on the portable Apps Media, so if a tool, game, other program save often data, some USB-Sticks (MLC-technology is often used and so the write cycles are limited to 3000 if I am correct).

So why portable apps does not use the system temp folder and after ending or with special portal apps command will only then write it back to the USB MEDIA.

Hello,

I like PortableApps!

But I have a minor "problem" ...

I have a few apps which autostart on portableapps start. But almost every day one of them has an update available. So I have to close the app, install the update and start this app again.

Is there a way to delay the autostart of a program until the update check for them is done? and if there is a update the autostart will follow the update?
