General Discussion

Just a heads up that SIW Portable has been retired from the PortableApps.com App Store and won't be available in the platform's app store or updater. The publisher decided to cease making freeware personal versions available. The version we have from 2011 will still be available for direct download from our site for the time being but will not function on Windows 8, 8.1 or 10. It is no longer supported by the publisher or by PortableApps.com.

PortableApps.com now hosts more than 347 official apps in it's library! A big thank you to all of the developers and John who made PortableApps what it is today! Let's have another great year of PortableApping!

I use Firefox Portable at work but unfortunately don't have the necessary admin rights to update flash. Unfortunately new versions of Firefox don't seem to include the most up to date version by default.

Is there anyway of updating flash manually?

Hi

A friend gave me a flash disk with folders that are EXE. They were originally normal MP3 and Jpeg files inside the folders. I am not sure what happened and why they are now EXE but I would like to retrieve them. These folders are from 2004. Any idea why it happened and how it could be fixed.

Has anybody else experienced problems with these two from FF 35.0 onward?

I'm not certain when the problems began, but sometime after the New Year I started having problems mainly with the two programs cited crashing. If I try to restart, they crash again. I asked at the Mozilla forums but nobody seemed to know very much about Portable Apps.

I have also had the same thing happen with GIMP and Inkscape which makes me think maybe there is a problem with the platform.

If I delete and reinstall the problem programs, they work once, or maybe twice without crashing.

TweetDeck Portable (Freeware) - twitter and facebook client

It's ONLY for twitter!

Somthing like sandboxie but sandboxie portable cant bypass administrative rights

Seems I'd have noticed something this annoying in earlier versions.
In same screen shot, adding multiple text boxes, PicPick doesn't remember the last choice for Solid Fill / No Fill. And every time I add a new text box, it ignores the currently selected background color, on the main toolbar.

But the text editor does remember font color selected (from text editor UI).

If desktop chrome is running and I launch portable chrome via portable apps, after I close the portable chrome portable apps still thinks that portable chrome is running until I close desktop chrome, preventing me from "safely" removing the flash drive.

Without using PortableApps Platform, how to turn off the splash screen when CherryTree starts?

Thanks in advance.
