Is the PortableApps software update server down?

Submitted by ITgreybeard on January 10, 2018 - 11:29am

For the past day or more, attempted app updates (and downloads) of the Q-Dir app are stymied and instead returned the message "The PortableApps.com website is temporarily inaccessible due to maintenance and the app can not be downloaded. Please try again later. (File: Q-DirPortable_6.82.1.paf.exe).

Is maintenance actually occurring at this time? Original download of a different app (Notepad2-mod) seems to have worked well.

(And is this the appropriate forum category in which to ask this question?)

Did the process of making PortableApps.com apps portable ever created bugs that were not present in the original, source app?

I have, or I've had a few suspects, but I need to investigate them more. What are you experiences through the history of PortableApps.com?

Why Don't I Get Email Updates When People Respond to a Thread I'm Subscribed To?

Submitted by Abraxian on January 1, 2018 - 6:45pm

I have several threads that I am subscribed to but not once ever have I received an email notification when anyone else adds a response to the threads. Why is failure happening? Is this common for other users besides myself? What can I do to fix this?

Portable Thunderbird no longer starts Windows 10

Submitted by usera on December 23, 2017 - 9:00pm

My computer restarted sometime overnight. Today I tried to open thunderbird and all i get is splash screen. It seems to shutdown by itself.
I then decided to delete the entire thunderbird folder and install it to desktop and try to start it up. Same behavior.

I then noticed transmission Qt Client starts but than says "transmission Qt Client has stopped working" I select close program and restart and same error. I too unzipped transmission to desktop like thunderbird and same error.

IObit Uninstaller 7.2.0.11 Update Not Found

Submitted by NotMine on December 19, 2017 - 1:03am

When I attempt to update via the Portable Apps menu, a dialog box pops up with a "404" error message saying the redirect to where the actual online storage location of the ".exe" reports "File Not Found".

I do not use this app often, but when I see this error start to occur with Portable Apps during update it tends to predict the app is no longer available online.

Temp File Location

Submitted by deppdammischer on December 13, 2017 - 11:22pm

Hello, I use portable apps on several machines at work. I have found that my user preferences are saved on the machine and not on the stick. I thought one of the purposes of portable apps was to be able to take your customized apps wherever you go. I find myself re-configuring and reinstalling addons every time I attempt to use one. Am I missing something? Is there a way to have the apps store the user prefs on the stick?

Thanks!

Transfer my portable apps folder from Windows 7 to Windows 10

Submitted by jojothehobo on December 10, 2017 - 11:05pm

Hi All;
I have a set of around 50 portable apps installed in my portable apps platform in a Windows 7 Professional machine. I arrived at them over a few years and feel it is customized to my needs. Thanks to/for PortableApps for this great service. (Yes, I do donate)
My question is whether I can copy my PortableApps folder to my new Windows 10 machine, adjust the startup shortcut for the platform, and still have them work, or at least most of them work (is there a list of these? ) I did a forum search and didn't find a thread or article discussing this.
