VLC xspf file path not relative

Submitted by Jim_Norman on May 8, 2024 - 8:59pm

I am finding that the VLC Playlist file (.xspf) contains an absolute path which will not work if you use the USB flash drive on a computer where the assigned drive letter is different. I tried several changes to the path and none worked. I searched for this problem and I only found posts from 2008 and no solution. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks.

Download Button Ads on Download Page

Submitted by trinsic on May 6, 2024 - 4:04pm

I am a supporter of the Portable Apps Platform. Today I had a really hard time finding the download link for the apps platform because the advertisement spam (download button tricks) is really out of control. If you guys need more money, let me know, but the current ads are unacceptable on the download page. Please let me know if these can be remedied.

Installing Apps: Agree Prompt Window Issue

Submitted by MarcusAD79 on April 19, 2024 - 10:54am

I'm not sure this is something that can be done, but is there a way to have apps that require the user to agree, to be the first ones installed when installing multiple apps via PortableApps > Apps > Get More Apps or when including apps to be installed when first installing PortableApps?
I ask because in the last few days I've somehow had the Agree prompt for Google Chrome end up behind the installer progress window twice.
Just now I sat for over 1.5hrs watching the progress window installing Google Chrome as the 6th of 9 programs I was installing.
