Please remove the "Sage extension for firefox" application from the RSS readers section, because the download link is no longer available or working.

I used to use PortableApps.com apps all the time when I was on the windows based OS. I have since switched to Mac. Do the apps work with Mac and Apple products?

PortableApps.com Platform cannot launch .lnk shortcuts as apps (possible solution)

Submitted by filips on December 28, 2022 - 8:55am

PortableApps.com Platform currently cannot launch .lnk shortcuts as apps from its menu. This can probably be fixed with a simple modification to the launching code (see below). I need this to dynamically generate portable apps from PWAs.

How to get a portable app to open a associated file type?

Submitted by Ryan1 on December 21, 2022 - 8:54pm

Windows 10 Pro x64

I have a portable version of PDF X-Change Editor (not from this site).

Most of my portable apps can be launched from a document by associating the document's file extension to open with the executable for the portable app.

So when I double click a document that is associated with the portable app, the app is launched with the document open.

But this one doesn't work. Double clicking the document opens the app, but not with the document open.

another instance of Opera is already running

Hi,
Here's my problem : my computer crashed, PortableApps.com Opera Portable Edition was running.
When I restarted and tried to lauch it again, I got the error box :
"Une autre instance de Opera, Portable Edition est déjà en cours d'exécution. Veuillez fermer les autres instances de Opera, Portable Edition avant de lancer Opera, Portable Edition."
Problem is : there is no other instance running !
I tried to restore backups : I get the same error message on THIS computer but it works fine on another.
