Whatever happened to the Komodo Edit progression?

I didn't want to put a request for it, because it was already in development to be portable. Then after searching for it here, it had stopped on version 5 Development Test 7.

As of now, Komodo Edit is on version 9.2 and completely Open-Source as well. Hopefully it gets picked up again here.

Is there a way to set programs which to be started when I start PortableApps?

I run most of my apps portable, but I don't have the Portable Apps Platform running. I find that many of the apps are slow to launch, particularly VLC, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Skype - probably most of them. I launch them from my local hard drive. My PC does not seem to be short of resources. I'm on Windows 10 but it was the same on 7 and 8.1. Would installing the Platform speed up the launch times?
Thanks

Often when portable apps platform download update it stucks on 100%. At the moment when it downloads google chrome 44 it stops on 41 936 Kb of 41 949 Kb and then shows Reget Error, file: http://cache.pack.google.com/edgedl/chrome/win/F19450DC/8491D4A8/44.0.24...

Same with Opera, Process Explorer and uTorrent

Is there a way to update portable apps manually without loosing settings and personal information or fix this error?

Unable to access LibreOffice 5.0.0 thru the portableapps.com Platform 12 or as a stand alone on Hard drive. I get the following message

Hi,

I use Google chrome portable as my default browser. Most of the time I have opened this browser with a bunch of tabs.

Nevertheless, if I do a search in windows 10 (I had similar problems in Windows 8) and pass that query to the default browser, a new browser window pops up instead of using the existing one. And that's not the only problem: The new browser window does not own all my personal extensions which means that it is a totally new environment.

Do you know how I can fix this problem?

Hi,

I noticed I have buttons along the bottom of the screen so I can pull the slider along to rewind a bit or fast forward or pause or stop for *audio* but not for *video.*

How can I apply that same slider for video?

All I can seem to do right now is right click on the screen and choose pause and stop.

I Googled this topic but could not find anything but keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks so much.

I've tried downloading Musescore 2.0.2 a few times today and I keep getting a 403 error.

Hi,
Fan of portableapps like freeplane or audacity I would to know if they can run on a Recent surface 3 tab with Windows 8.1 ?

Hi,

on my windows 10 PC (the problem existed also during windows 8.1 before the upgrade to 10) I am able to make Chrome portable as my default browser. Nevertheless, if I want to do a cortana search a window pops up which is titled as "openwith.exe" and says: "class not registered".

On my surface pro it works very well. I assume my registry is somwhow messed up but I have no clue which entry I have to fix. Do you have any tipps?
