General Discussion

Hello, and many thanks for a great source of portable software. I don't like to see advertisements, so I use an ad-blocker. I have also been a donor to PortableApps.com for at least the past 5 years. Nevertheless, when I login I see the message "Please consider white-listing us in your ad blocker or making a donation so we can keep bringing you awesome free software."

Since I'm a donor, is there anyway I can avoid seeing the message, or should I just ignore it?

Thanks.

Question about the benefits of your portable packages over natively portable apps downloaded from their original authors

I've been considering bringing back the pre-packaged suites on a limited basis. As apps have proliferated and gotten more complicated, there would be some limitations to minimize time spent packaging and supporting them. The suites would be in English and designed for new installs only. This allows me to forgo having to code in the installer upgrade code for every app on every release and not try to package tons of different languages. The suites would be updated on a monthly basis and versioned appropriately (PortableApps.com Suite Standard 2018.12, for instance).

Hi,

I've portablized Zotero 5 (see https://portableapps.com/node/56957), and somehow I cannot edit the first post anymore - I've got a spam alert each time I try to edit. I reported the error, but still cannot update my post, one week after.
Is it possible to unlock it?

Thanks.

Is there any portable app that I can run off my USB drive and make a backup of my iPhone? I am on a University public computer and cannot download Itunes or any application to it to make a backup before I have to erase the iPhone. I've tried searching the threads and google, sorry if this is in the wrong location. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for making it hard to ask a simple question (like all other fora: signup required; 4xGoogle captcha at signup, again Google captcha when posting).

I recently updated to PortableAppsMenu 14.4.1 and the problem now is that every time the screen resolution changes to something lower, and then back to a higher resolution, PortableAppsMenu will appear somewhere in the middle of the screen, not at the bottom right task bar.

Previously I was using an older version (>5yo) that did not have this problem.

Is this a bug and can I work around it somehow?

This appears to be a common error, associated with mixing 32bit and 64bit DLLs?

Most of my PortableApps are suddenly failing with this on my Windows 10, x64 machine where Portable Apps in in fact installed on my secondary hard drive.

I recently managed to use the various guides and tools here to create a portable version of a game I have. I am currently trying to determine if I would be allowed to post a link to my work here.

The game in question is a free ad-supported game that was released back in 2006 by a game publisher that ultimately went out of business (Midway Games). Being ad-supported, it requires a connection to some ad servers to run and the game refuses to start if there is no connection to the servers available.

Hi,
is it possible to block automatically unwanted application updates ?
(For example, I don't want to upgrade Firefox to version 57. Even the new Adblock+ became real crap in this release. And the other good extensions such as Noscript, Flashgot, Flashblock and many others are not compatible).

Thanks
