General Discussion

I want to learn how PortableApps.com handle 64-bit apps.
But, many of apps that have been portablized by PortableApps.com in Portable Apps Directory that I never heard before, so I don't know if it's have an 64-bit variant or not.
And I don't want to try all apps one by one, you know it has 300+ apps on it.

If I were to create a similar program for Linux, would that be considered a violation of copyright? I would of course reference this program as the inspiration.

Why isn't there a subfolder in PortableApps/Common Files for DLL files? I have counted the DLL files on my drive and there are many repeated DLLs. Why not have such a folder?

If I were to run it on Linux using Wine I could manually create that folder and use symbolic links. Is there a similar method that would work on Windows?

Is there a way to install PortableApps.com on many drives simultaneously using one installer? Verus having to run the installer/setup on each of the drives. I have a few drives I'd like to setup identically.

Thank you.

When I logged in to the forums i found the new and updated topics button missing. I also get a page not found (404 error) if I select view unanswered forum posts or view new forum posts in the forum tools. Is some work/update being performed on the site

i dont know if this possible,but is the a way,and if so how is there a way to put a folder in the app so when i click it ,it just opens the folder,instead of listing all the exe's in that folder,cheers

I see jportable...but the references in the forums seem to be 3-5 years old. Is there a portable javaws for running .jnlp files?

Am I missing something here?
Is there any other point of installing the PortableApps Platform to the Google Drive Sync folder other than to have a BackUp that you can download?
I am not seeing how to make the apps open & run from Google Drive. I just get a message that there is no preview of the EXE for the PortableApp that I try to open.

Hello Guys! I don't know if its permitted to post here but here we are:

1) MAKE A BAT FILE:

I noticed the other day that in one PA installation the icons associated with LibreOffice were all listed while in another case only one showed up. In the instance where only one icon was showing I found that, in PortableAppsMenu.ini there was a line:
ShowSingleIconForMultiIconApps=true
In the PortableAppsMenu.ini in the other installation there was no such line. (Adding it fixed the problem.)
