I love using portable apps, and I would love to see if I can customize its icon.
I was using other person's computer and found out, there was also a Google Chrome, but not portable.
I wanted to differentiate mine from them, by a simple tweak in my icon, since I always get confused.
I tried going to AppInfo to change the appicons, but it didn't work.
How can I change my GoogleChromePortable icon?
I'd love to hear your answers.
Thank you very much and may you have a wonderful day.

I've used Portable Apps from a USB for years at work on 2 or 3 PCs each day. Suddenly my employer requires USB encryption or instead use a shared network drive or Microsoft OneDrive. At some future date, inserted USBs at work will automatically be encrypted if they are not already. Also I'm told the process erases the USB, so I guess that means somehow dumping a backup of the USB back onto the drive after encryption. Please correct me if it isn't that simple. Also will encryption to a USB interfere with Portable App function?

hi

Hello, I wish to remove some apps from my console. I do a comparison on similar apps offered through Portable Apps and wish to only keep one of each kind at present. How might I remove from my console? Thank you.

Now, they have become a scannerware...
In the name of security, they are scanning your hardware by multiple ways.
Not only that, the browser scanns your system by all installed software.

Just think of it... why can't I just get my portable Chrome on a USB-stick to
another computer and go along with it, and continue to work?

It used to be that I could update my portable apps with my VPN tuned on.

Now it stops in the middle of a download indicating a "proxy error", probably due to the VPN being turned on. I turn the VPN off and it updates normally.

Why should I have to turn my VPN off now? Don't you all respect privacy, anymore?

It appears that our revenue from AdSense was halted sometime this month. This appears to coincide with AdSense halting monetization of sites that glorify or exploit the war in Ukraine. This is devastating to the stability of the project as AdSense is the primary revenue source supporting it. I'm investigating with Google and will report back as I have news.

With the release of qBittorrent v4.4.0, v4.4.1 & v4.4.2 portable I have noticed that the program will randomly lock up and become unresponsive.

The lack of response will last from 2 to 30 seconds or so, but will eventually return to normal after that time.

This is not caused by excessive CPU usage by other programs or such and returning to v4.3.9 solves the issue completely.

Does anyone have any idea what the issue with these releases might be?

TIA
