General Discussion

Hi All:
Portable Apps is great and the bundled automatic updating is great. One change would make it even greater. That change is to the behavior of the updater when an application, for whatever reason, can't update. What happens then is the update process stops and a pop up screen appears saying "the app can't update because .......". It then asks you to click OK. Why wouldn't I?

I have a problem:

When I start a executable like Calc Writer or any other I receive this message
"G:\libreOfficePortable\App\\Appinfo\Launcher\LibreOfficePortable.ini is missing[launch]:ProgramExecutable - what am I to launch?"

What must I do? Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Dear Forum,

I have recently installed a portable version of the useful HTML editor BlueGriffon in my USB drive. But it's not conformed to the PortableApps standard (I found it here in portablefreeware.com), so when I open the Platform, I see several "BlueGriffon" listed:

Hi,

How do I use java portable?

I have Java portable installed in the common directory.

When I try to launch a portable app and its says I need Java, how do I get it to recognise the portable file please?

Wondering if this has happened yet or not.

Be clear that I LIKE PA and have supported it. So the following is meant as constructive criticism...and I acknowledge that not everyone will feel the same.

Some Portable-Apps are specific to Windows OS but not on Mac/Linux OS.
Solution of this problem can be using Docker Virtuel Environment as a Virtual Machine but very light.

I tried a method to install very ease Portable-Apps into Docker Image through Wine emulator.

I hope that the big black surface, reminding of an undertaker’s site, is a temporary option, and that you will revert to the nice usual design. I hope...
