How to properly create a full backup of the PortableApps Directory?

Submitted by WirlyWirly on July 11, 2020 - 8:41pm

I just reset my OS, and thanks to PortableApps, I was up and running after a quick copy-extract of a .7z file. So far everything seems to work fine, but I'm just curious if there's something vital that I missed by not using the built-in backup option.

Installing all apps

Submitted by Occabot on July 4, 2020 - 4:51am

What is the possibility of bundling all the apps in zip format? And then just unzipping the large file onto a usb drive, so then you'd have all the apps you'd need? I am currently installing all the apps on a SSD. It is ridiculous that I have to click "agree" and "install" for nearly every app. Taking well over two hours to install 400+ apps on this drive. I've already tried using a mouse macro that clicks on these buttons, but it is hit and miss, doesn't work all the time. Just seems like a lot of work to install even say 30 apps.

Hi there.

Suggestions

In the main interface

- A mention of the amount of installed applications would be valuable, so that it can be determined that all applications that are meant to be installed are indeed present.

Section: Help

- The link to the site –https://portableapps.com/– is worth a mention. The site gathers valuable information such as descriptions of applications. User has currently to rely on this information in order to select an application unknown of him.

Linking to secure (https) versions of websites

By the mere fact that http://portableapps.com redirects to https://portableapps.com you are obviously aware of how important it us to use https, especially with Google Chrome slowly but surely on its way to block http websites.
So please make sure to link to https websites, not http ones, whenever https versions exist, of course.

how to invoke cppcheckportable from commandline for opening a cppechk project and run analysis

Submitted by rakeshnarayanaswamy on June 19, 2020 - 2:39am

Hi Friends,

the below command will launch cppcheck gui and runs analysis on a visual studio project

CppcheckPortable.exe "path to the visual studio solution/project"

However I would like to invoke CppcheckPortable on a cppcheck project (project.cppcheck) so that cppcheck gui will launch and open a pre-created project and runs analysis
