There have been a few requests over the years to have the PortableApps.com Platform scan additional paths for apps. The rationale is usually that users want to keep non-PAF apps separate from PAF apps or apps that are updated automatically by the platform separate from those that are not. I'm planning on implementing this within a future release of the PortableApps.com Platform and wanted to layout the setup and see if there are any comments or suggestions.

PortableApps Platform - Categorize / Hide Apps in Bulk Suggestion

Submitted by Zalex on July 3, 2018 - 2:13pm

Hi,

I would like to ask for some way to reorder in Categories and Hide Apps in Bulk.

I have many apps from other sources inside PortableApps folder as well, and most of them contains other .exe files. Since there are a lot of them, and after some research without result, I would like to ask to Build some tool to edit all those files in bulk.

A tool inside the Platform or to be downloaded for those in this situation.

Platform no longer updates apps

Unfortunately the Portableapps platform no longer updates apps. If I open the platform, click apps then check for updates, nothing happens.

I've tried reinstalling the platform and also downloading and installing the platform to a new location. however it appears the settings for the portable apps platform are ironically not portable, and the new download of the platform in a new location carries over the same settings. So if the problem is corruption then I have no way to delete the old settings or use a new instance without settings.

Updater requires to click through all installers

Submitted by yokj on June 24, 2018 - 8:22am

I have two machines with similar PA.c installs. When I periodically run "Update all apps", on one machine all apps are updated and all I have to do is click "Finish." On the other, I have to click through the installers of all the apps . The set of apps updating usually the same.

What would make the second install require all that clicking?

thanks in advance.

I have not used portable apps for many months. Today I upgraded the platform as well as 26 programs. All of this worked on my Win 10 machine the last time I utilized it. Now, each and every program fails to start and produces the following error message:

This application was unable to start correctly (0Xc000007b) Click OK to close the application.

The name off each individual program that I am trying to start is also at the top of the dialog.

Outdated Firefox icons in app store and second profile

Submitted by JarlPenguin on June 8, 2018 - 6:02am

I've noticed that all the Firefox icons in the installer pop-up menu are outdated ones, and that the 2nd profile for Mozilla Firefox's icons also do not match the current Quantum icons. I am thinking that this is because of older versions, but most of all the Beta and Developer edition icons are bugging me.
