WSCC

Submitted by Portablist on April 6, 2016 - 12:42pm

It is really annoying that Portale Apps never upgrades WSCC to a new version!
It is only when you want to update the programs in WSCC that you get a message that there is a new version.
You have to download the new version yourself. Then it is a bit tricky to upgrade in Portable Apps...

Why remove old versions

Submitted by avada on April 4, 2016 - 1:19pm

Hi!

I wanted an old portable version of Foxit Reader. But I couldn't find it here. So I had to download it from an unknown, unfamiliar website. I ran into this issue a couple times before.

Why even remove old versions? There are many reasons one might need an old version.
In which case a portable version is highly desirable, so that one doesn't mess up the configuration for the newer version of the same software that's already installed on the system.

I can't afford a pc and use my parents pc and library I have a kindle but it's really old .my phone is a flip phone . I'm using a 32 but can't fit everything in one place essentially when I make music to upload to soundcload on the tablet. I want at least a 128 because I also game and do just about everything it offers as well as wanna store data. So I guess what im asking is what should I get for brand name and size

Hi:
A question about update behavior that I didn't see answered elsewhere but perhaps I missed it. If so, sorry.

Until recently my PortableApps would update when I started the platform by having the updated apps listed in an update window and when I clicked on update the would update in sequence until done.

Adding Other Apps (XMind) to the PortableApps.com Menu

Submitted by philled on March 24, 2016 - 2:03am

I read the instructions at https://portableapps.com/support/platform#addingotherapps so I could install XMind in my PortableApps menu. According to http://www.xmind.net/download/portable/ there is a portable version which I am already using and it works outside of my PortableApps installation. But I'd like it to work as a PortableApps app so that I've got everything in one place on my PortableApps menu.
