Once i have a program as a Portable Apps specification
how do i publish it on your site?
And dose it cost any money to publish?

As many folks know, we've wanted to add file associations to the PortableApps.com Platform for a while now, but we've wanted to do it well. A good chunk of the underpinnings are done though the UI is unfinished. Unfortunately, Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 don't permit apps to adjust file associations and then set them back anymore the way we had planned when developing for Windows XP/Vista/7. Associations must go through the OS with the user being prompted to change them.

I have a Lenovo B50 that boots in EFI Boot mode and will not boot linux from a usb flash drive. I've tried enabling legacy boot in the bios it still wont boot of usb and its very slow what do I need to do to get my usb flash drive to work?

Thanks. aamcle

Morning All.

I would like to add the Linux program "glable" to a portable Linux (any distro), how would I do this?

Thanks. Aamcle

I apologize if my question is a "frequent question", but also by reading various posts I have not found a solution.

How can I associate the various files with their portable applications?
I've read about the PortableFileAssociator but the download is blocked by the presence of malware.

Dear Sir,

Norton Internet Security is blocking the download of xnviewportable.2.33.paf.exe and pdf-xchangeviewer.portable_2.5.313.1.paf.exe from www.portableapps.com on my notebook, saying it does not trust these programs because there would be too few users, this is called WS.Reputation.1 Kaspersky accepted to install them on another computer, so I was able to test them. Is there any possibility of teaching Norton Internet Security to accept them on my notebook too?

Best regards

I used OpenTTD on PortableApps platform. My PC environment is Windows 10 Pro x64.

OpenTTD's language setting was not saved correctly. When I restart OpenTTD, language setting are changed to English. Other options are saved and loaded correctly. Only language setting has problem.

I tried to manually edit openttd.cfg but not worked.

Hi,

is there any way to reset file associations to system defaults?

Using windows 8.1 ?

I did many things with file-assocator-portable... Now I need to reset all system defaults...

Thanks

There is one thing I miss in the otherwise great PA :

Although being able to add non-PAF-format apps to the PA-menu, it is really a pity they must be placed in the same directory as the PAF-ones.
I really dislike that they are mixed up the more some also use "Portable" in their program and/or directory-name.
And "Refresh Icons" doesn't go deeper than 1 directory-level so it's impossible to put them in a user-created "MyApps" directory in "PortableApps"

I went to launch the portable app and a splash screen presented itself then disappeared, and after waiting several minutes nothing happened. I then opened the task manager to see InfraRecorder was sitting there and running but no GUI so I then ended the task and tried again and got same results. Should there be some list of some sort that will let users know which apps aren't currently compatible with Windows 10 to possibly prevent users from upgrading and rendering their commonly used apps useless.
