Updating multiple copies of a portable app

Submitted by 3 cheers 4 JT Haller on July 3, 2014 - 11:48am

Hi folks,

I have multiple copies of several apps, each with different folders/configs, e.g.
C:PortableApps/Firefox v1
C:PortableApps/Firefox v2

I do want to keep these as entirely separate apps rather than just adding a new profile into, say, the Firefox v1 folder.

To date, I have been updating these manually as from what I could see, the PortableApps.com Platform only updates a single instance of each app.

Am I missing something? Is it possible to update multiple instances of the same app? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Malicious suspect

Submitted by Rob562435 on July 2, 2014 - 8:44am

I recently get a lot of Norton deletions on PAF executables with "Suspicious.Cloud.9" as reason. Looks like the new installer results in detection as malicious Sad

I am not yet 100% certain but when I get too many hits on the installer files it most likely is related.

For instance Focus Writer, Puzzle collection, NeverBall, TaskCoach

Official freeware download stats

Just out of curiosity, is there a way to view the download stats for our freeware releases?

Our open source download stats are readily available on Sourceforge, just wondering if there was something similar for our officially released freeware (obviously we can't show stats when the app is hosted by the developer, eg. LibreOffice and TeamViewer, I just mean our self-hosted freeware like BabelMap).

Search for New Apps

Submitted by Chaiavi on July 1, 2014 - 5:37am

Hi,

I love PortableApps.

The only thing that I dearly miss is the option to --search-- for new apps.

I mean that when I want a new app I go to Apps -> Get More Apps

Which brings up a new nice window.

That window is not searchable!

A search function there would upgrade the usability so much.

I Need A Tablet And An App That Can Handle Many Pictures And Texts

I have a friend who owns a restaurant and he offers an astounding number of sushi and sashimi dishes. It's often difficult, with so many offerings, for a server to know the ingredients of each offering and it's also difficult for the customer when he or she wants to look at and determine which offering to choose.

[Fixed] TAudio Converter Portable 0.9.5.3696 Saving Settings Locally

Submitted by SGB74 on June 20, 2014 - 2:36pm

I changed some settings around in an app and I wanted to revert back to its stock state, I couldn't find any features within the app to let me do so. So I figured a simple uninstall then re-install should handle that, but to my surprise the settings were the same, as if once it was uninstalled the older settings are retained somewhere? Any clue on how to get an app that was once installed to its factory state with no modifications. App in question is TAudioConverter.
