Installations' stop button

Submitted by lwc on March 20, 2017 - 9:45pm

I found myself installing a certain very large portable app into the wrong folder and helplessly stared at it as it kept installing.
Could you add a stop button into the *.paf.exe files?
That's how it usually is in other installers.
It should be especially easy in this case as the installer basically extracts files. So just stop extracting them and delete their folder.

Release versions

Submitted by davefdm on March 18, 2017 - 11:29pm

What is the order of release versions?
For example if I take a portable app and make it PortableApps.com Format what should the first release version be called?
Should it be alpha, beta, or dev test 1 or something else?

Opera Portable

First, let me thank everyone involved for portable apps. Use it daily.

One app I really like, Opera (has a built in VPN!), is somehow horribly implemented on Portable Apps. I don't know what it's doing, maybe sending files to the mothership, but it takes minutes for it to shutdown properly and there is an intense amount of disk activity involved. If you don't wait for it to finish, you'll get a "not properly closed/cleaned" message when you attempt to start it next and then you'll wait and wait with no indication that it has completed its mission - whatever that is.

Money manager ex

Submitted by Rabbit53 on March 1, 2017 - 6:31am

Has anyone had problems with the Money manager ex app. I have been using it for a couple of years with no problem.

The latest update crashed the whole app.

I loaded a new platform to a fresh USB stick and installed the app and when it is opened I get a fatal error.

Forum Title formatting changed?

Submitted by RogerL on February 20, 2017 - 10:06am

I read the tracker on my smartphone (in portrait mode) and was able to see the Title, Forum or Topic and Replies field.

Now the Title field takes up the whole screen width which means have to continually swip left to see the Replies field which is useful in Tracker mode.

This happened a couple of days ago, was it done on purpose?

Money Manager Ex crashing

Submitted by Rabbit53 on February 18, 2017 - 6:48pm

I am having problems with money manager ex_ portable. I have been using this programme for a few years and its been great, love it as its so easy and straight forward to use. Just had a new update and when I tried to up date it it completely crashed. Good job I had a back up. Not had any problem with updates before.

Any one else having problems?
