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?

Does portableapps have a size limit?

Submitted by noospam on August 10, 2024 - 8:27pm

Been a portableapps user for years. Have recently moved from outlook to thunderbird local install. I have several imap inboxes and total size is about 3,000GB+. I am thinking of using portable thunderbird but don't know if portableapps platform have an upper size limit where its functionality may deteriorate. Does anyone know?

Search typing after update starts the first app in favorites

After updating the apps, it often happens that any input in the search field starts the first app in the favourites.
Unfortunately, this behaviour is not always reproducible. But if updates have been made, the probability of this error occurring is very high.
After restarting the PortableApps platform, the search can then be used again without any problems.
