PortableApps.com Platform

Whenever I start or shut down the main PortableApps application using Start.exe (or a shortcut for it), a very odd behavior occurs...
I have Firefox installed on my computer as a non-portable app. It is up to date and runs without any issues I have seen. I do NOT have the portable version of Firefox installed as a PortableApp.

Hi,

"Firefox Developer Edition 114.0 beta 1" asks for update aven after it has been already updated.

Thanks for your concern.

> AppNamePortable: contains the main application launcher,

Here my "Main" (AppNamePortable) local folder with my added file:

Here-My-Custom-File-Local.png

I want to add this "Here_My_Custom_File" in "Main" (AppNamePortable) folder of the "PAF.exe" file.

I guess this is more of a feature request.
Currently when you uninstall an app via the platform, the contents of symbolic links to sub folders are also removed in stead of just the link.
In my case, for some apps (like visual studio code) I have a symbolic link to the data folder. Installing a new version of Visual studio code takes 2 steps:
- delete the old visual studio code folder via windows explorer (this only removes the link, not the contents)
- create a now symbolic link to the data folder

I've tried to download almost every program (see Note 1, bellow) directly from site (https://portableapps.com/apps), to test all links, and I've found some links not working.

These programs return a "404 Not Found" error, when downloading from their pages:

Not sure if this is a bug or the way the app has been designed but why doesn't the platform restart after updating itself?

Cant install platform on Google cloud - it sees only OneDrive (that i do not use) - it appears itt cant see Google Drive although it works perfectly- how do I get the platform tonsee Google drive?

It's annoying how if I have OBS open (what if I am recording a video and have it on pause and don't want to exit the application as it will stop my recording) and I accidentally open up PortableApps program, then PortableApps keeps displaying a popup window telling me that OBS needs to be closed. If I click Cancel or OK without actually closing OBS first, the popup window just keeps reappearing. I can't right click on the PortableApps system tray icon to exit the program, because the popup window keeps getting in the way.

Opening new Window - wrong path

Blender 3.5 PortableApps
Windows 11
Installed on a Sandisk Extreme Pro 4GB

This morning I launched PortableApps and started Blender and the Blender install appears to be reset. Previous settings and add-ons are all gone. No issues like this for over 8 months of use. Is their any sort of log to review to see possible malfunctions?
