PortableApps.com Platform

Is not a bug, more a nuisance but indeed is a bit confusing because it has no logical/intuitive linking between scrollbar length and scrolling distance.
What do I mean by that?
Normally, a scrollbar should have its length proportional to how much it has to scroll (unless is too much to scroll, then is just locked to a small defined size).

General scrollbars behavior:

I'm getting this error message that says my VeraCrypt did not close properly. Every time. It *did* close properly. And even if it didn't, it really isn't a problem at all. And even if it were a problem, you don't have to bother the user with it. Just do that cleanup thing and launch the app right away.

This is the latest VeraCrypt and PA.com 14.1.

I had a corrupt FF profile and decided to start from scratch since there wasn't a lot in there. I right mouse-clicked from the menu and selected uninstall the app as you would normally do.

I had previously renamed it "Firefox 1" in the menu and when I went to do a fresh install, it kept the name "Firefox 1" in the menu, which leads me to believe there is still traces of Firefox metadata left behind within the protableapps platform itself.

Hi all,

The PortableApps.com platform can't download GIMP (but other apps does work/gets installed without any problems). The following URL is shown:
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/GIMPPortable_2.8.16-4.paf...

Meaning I can't use GIMP. I think the URL is wrong. Hopefully somebody can fix this issue...

Trying to understand how TB Portable syncs before and after travel. How large flash drive do I need for TBP? When I get back after trip, does TBP back up TB with the changes I made while traveling? Would it be possible to leave flash drive in PC and run TBP all the time and then take the drive on trip? Thanks.

I consider this to be a bug.
It seems the detection routine that ensures the PortableApps packager is not launched from C:\Program Files is flawed.

Any folder name starting with the string "Program Files" on my root is getting blocked, such as "C:\Program Files (portable)" which I had just created to store all my portable apps.

I've tried phrasing the Google Search in several ways, I've wondered around <portableapps.com>. Finally, I just have to ask:
Is there anything like a manual, or documentation, for the PortableApps.com Installer?

TIA

Hi there!!!

I have a question. I've added various custom portable programs to my PortableApps Menu (i. e., native portable software, not in PortableApps.com format). Now I wont to change the name of the main executable, or the name of the folder, but I can't find the file that contains such information. I've inspected the PortableAppsMenu.ini file, but it doesn't contain the information I'm searching for.

So, where are stored the paths of the custom added apps?

Thanks in advance,
Alpha!

Hi !
Recently i tried to update Google Chrome Portable... Using 2 ways... With no result !
I first tried the standard procedure through the PortableApps local menu : "Applications > Check Updates...".
