General Discussion

Hi there. I have an OLD program I need to use maybe once, not sure of it's condition. I know nothing about what to use or how to about running it in a safe environment, the terms I have heard of are sandbox and VM (Virtual Machine) I suppose. and help here is appreciated, I am using old WIN7 and have an XP available.

Hi,

I am confused: I setup a new PC and copied all my portable apps to the new PC (to the very same location indeed). Nevertheless, if I open my portable chrome browser it reopens my last session but all my extensions are gone. Any thoughts why? I was the opinion that all data can be simply copied and that's it...

Can you allow users to delete their own comments just like they can edit them?

If you look for a specific reason why it's needed other than privacy, then threads like https://portableapps.com/development/test have very obsolete comments, which cause their authors to get notified every time someone else posts a comment.
So please allow deleting one's own comments at least for this and similar threads if not just in general.

Hello,

for a few years I'm using portable Firefox on shared computers like at work, and to protect my settings and so on I'm using the addon "Startup master" which adds an password request before FF startup.

Following the advice by iglvzx in https://superuser.com/questions/118025/using-custom-fonts-without-admini... , I created a directory PortableApps/PortableApps.com/Data/Fonts and copied my ttf and otf files to this directory. Then I started PortableApps. Still, the fonts are not visible in the system.

Did I miss something?

This problem persists for many years, is there any way to disable this error message? Interestingly, I do not have an error message for 2 portable applications that I made myself - Firefox and Thunderbird (in 2014).

I am fully aware that the incorrect closure of applications can lead to data loss and I don't care about.

DOSBox has the ability to take screenshots but the portable version has no folder storing these, where can I find this folder?

Here's what I'm looking for.

A portable file browser like explorer++ or Xenon File Manager that opens documents\files\images using the portable app on your usb drive, instead of using the default windows programs.

Is there anyway to do this?

Problem downloading Wwget and Appcompactor Reported error

Anyone help or are these just missing? I noticed Haller in there awhile ago.

I've rolled out Antivirus Scan links and have started rolling out SHA-256 hashes to our app pages as mentioned in today's news story. Some app pages that haven't yet been updated with an SHA-256 will have an MD5 that links to more than one scan on VirusTotal. If you happen to notice one, please post here and I'll prioritize adding that app's SHA-256 to avoid the issue. Thanks!
