General Discussion

We have learned that Dia developer Steffen Macke passed away earlier this year in May. In addition to being the developer and maintainer of the Windows and Mac ports of Dia, he was also a longtime member of the open source community. He was known to be friendly and helpful. He was even kind enough to briefly join our community a few years ago to assist with troubleshooting a Dia issue.

Bart.S, the packaging developer for Dia Portable, has posted a kind note to the Gnome mailing list here: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2014-November/msg00047.html

Sourceforge is having site troubles today. Main page is up, but downloads are failing with error messages. I cannot currently download Portable Apps because of this. Is there another link to download (safely) Portable Apps besides from SourceForge?

Hi,

It is not possible to use two instances at the same time on Chrome.

Thats why I start to use Chrome by giving it a user profile directory parameter.

I create a .bat file which includes this command:

E:\PortableApps\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\GoogleChromePortable.exe --user-data-dir="E:\MyPersonelData\ChromeUserData"

I have some question here. I would be happy if you can answer me:

1- When I start the .bat file, the command line windows is appearing. But it is not closing until any Chrome window closes. But want it to close itself. How can I make this?

I found that CherryTree has been updated to release 0.35.5 in the official website http://www.giuspen.com/.
Can the portable version be updated as well?
Thanks so much for your time and helps.

Hi,

How annoying is it when you have rebooted windows without closing a portable application, only to find that a subsequent update does not "clean up"?

While the menu and associated apps are quite stable, I think a clean up should be performed when updating to save a problem, in between the time when an application is not being used.

Regards

Hi

I have chrome portable installed and updated with the latest version. But standard Chrome auto installs somehow on my system. It started recently.
It shows up on my desktop and pins to my task bar. Uninstalling won't work since it comes back up. I make sure not to use it.

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks!

I install both Portable Chrome and Java 64bit.
But chrome://plugins/ dose not show Java is installed.
Java is installed in \PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java64.
Changing the directory name to \PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java solve the problem.
However, Portable LibreOffice needs Java 32bit version.
Can we have default Java 64bit directory in \PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java64
for all portable applications that require java 64 bits?

Hello,
is possible protect portableapps platform12 with password?

Best

Will FreeFileSync ever be updated again?

I have heard portable applications ought to be slower than installed ones? Is that truth? If yes, why?
