Hi, new user here... I need to go through a socks5 proxy, is it possible/planned to add it in Options / Connection / "Manual Proxy Configuration" ?
Hi there, I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything in support or using search.
have just installed the platform update version 19.1. the problems i have encountered since are, Libre office will not launch because it informs me i am running windows xp operating system, so it will not launch. also Sumatra PDF portable willnot launch it gives me the same message. Other applications such as Open Office. Audacity, are not affected. Also the app platform does not stay active on the task bar, after an application is started.
Have to report the following issue: I try to update to the newest version of FFx by manually starting the platform updater from the platform menu. The new version of the FFx was found, downloaded and kinda successfully installed. After the start of the FFx I got the message, that xul.dll isn't compatible with the current version.
Thank you for your help.
Is it possible to change the default "X:\Documents" to another location? The last discussion I have seen is from 2006 (https://portableapps.com/node/625). I have not found an .ini that I could edit.
Thanks, again.
Hi @JohnTHaller Please use a better icon for the PortableApps folder. (like Windows 11 folder icon) The current icon is very old. Please download WindowsFolderIcons.zip
Is anyone else finding that it takes up to a minute for the menu to load since updating from 18.0.1 to 19.0 under Win 7 Pro SP1 (x64)?
It will be much useful if an app can be called by hot-key press. For example running Notepad++ from combination of some chosen hot key.
The functionality can be activated by adding some line to the 'appinfo.ini'
Thanks for the hard work on maintaining this app collections
While on the support page (https://portableapps.com/support/platform) there is a section which explains that the location of the PortableApps.com Menu is remembered I couldn't find how to reset its location.
How could one reset the location of the menu?
Where is the file the information is saved?
There is a translation not being used on the updater, 'Utilities', please see image https://mega.nz/file/jk8mhLKC#YRiGLrNGF8vWHOOIzVeAP2M8XhuDa-bHEBTFtqXhkFI
