Feature Addition: Scanning multiple directories for apps, opinions sought

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.

Missing Apps?

Submitted by DavidDeb on September 27, 2024 - 2:27am

Hello all,

I have at least one application (GhostScript), shown as installed on the 'Get more Apps' dialogue, which is not in the PortableApps folder (Windows10).
How can this be corrected, and how can the actually installed apps be checked manually against the supposedly installed app list?

Thanks and Best Regards,

David D.

Help Needed: Displaying Executable Files in PortableApps Platform

Submitted by El Justice Guy on September 12, 2024 - 9:02pm

Hi PortableApps,

I’m seeking assistance with configuring PortableApps to properly display executable files located in specific directories. I’m having issues with the PortableApps platform not recognizing and displaying executables that are located in subdirectories.

No safeguard to prevent personal directory deletion

Submitted by bel57 on August 26, 2024 - 8:10pm

Hello,
I'd like to report a massive issue. Here is a quick explanation: PA Platform allows adding your own portable apps.
So I had a directory with a lot of exe. I noticed an app I was no longer using and instead of manually deleting the file, in a moment of inattention, I used the uninstall option from PA. Terrible mistake. Well, without any warning, it just deleted my entire personal collection of apps. I find it insane there is no warning nor backup before such action takes place.

Hide the Title Bar

Submitted by TheTubaGeek on August 11, 2024 - 5:02pm

I have OperaGX installed but because of the Title Bar that appears, I am unable to navigate between tabs.

I seem to recall a setting that would remove that Title Bar, but I cannot remember where it is.

Can anyone assist?
