Hi!

I wanted an old portable version of Foxit Reader. But I couldn't find it here. So I had to download it from an unknown, unfamiliar website. I ran into this issue a couple times before.

Why even remove old versions? There are many reasons one might need an old version.
In which case a portable version is highly desirable, so that one doesn't mess up the configuration for the newer version of the same software that's already installed on the system.

I use a portable app and would like it to open with a particular workspace, I save it within the app, but when I exit it and restart it, the workspace is nowhere to be found and I have to set it up all over again. Is this option not possible?

Hi,

Can't run exe files from USB Drive.

How can I change the setting in windows 10 to be able to run it.

Regards.

I am using keepass 2 which I copied into a portableapps-keepass1 installation (found that hint somewhere).

Now, when a new keepass1 version is coming out, I am always in danger of having my keepass2 overwritten.

Thanks!

I can't afford a pc and use my parents pc and library I have a kindle but it's really old .my phone is a flip phone . I'm using a 32 but can't fit everything in one place essentially when I make music to upload to soundcload on the tablet. I want at least a 128 because I also game and do just about everything it offers as well as wanna store data. So I guess what im asking is what should I get for brand name and size

Is there a portable app for tracking time spent on various websites etc (like RescueTime) ?

I'm mostly using firefox portable

Thanks

Hi:
A question about update behavior that I didn't see answered elsewhere but perhaps I missed it. If so, sorry.

Until recently my PortableApps would update when I started the platform by having the updated apps listed in an update window and when I clicked on update the would update in sequence until done.

I read the instructions at https://portableapps.com/support/platform#addingotherapps so I could install XMind in my PortableApps menu. According to http://www.xmind.net/download/portable/ there is a portable version which I am already using and it works outside of my PortableApps installation. But I'd like it to work as a PortableApps app so that I've got everything in one place on my PortableApps menu.

I was actually aware of the prohibition against putting (the Haller brand of) portable apps into the official "Program Files" folders when I unwrapped 7-Zip. Still wanting to retain something resembling the native Windows naming scheme, I created a root-level folder called "Program Files (portable)" and put my portable apps into that. Come to discover, however, that the prohibition extends even to this new folder, simply because it merely contains the name "Portable Files."

Look at this!
