Does PortableApps.com work better within its own drive ?

Submitted by NorbertK on September 9, 2022 - 4:49am

Hello all,
due to hardware problenms i have to migrate to an new laptop and it is painfiul , so that I plan to run as many portable applications as feasable.
I am new to portableapps.com and like it so far. I habe some questions and plan to write several posts to make things clearer.

I have the most important data on a nextclud server and sync that to a local folder on C:\

I create subfolders for each environment and start from there and this works fine. Does it make sense to assign drive letters to the path of the environments ?`

PortableApps Platform

I am starting to use the Portable Apps Platform for the first time. I have several Portable Apps applications already installed on one of my computer hard drives. How do I add those already Portable Apps programs to the Portable App Platform without losing those programs' configurations?
thank you

Apps won't run

Submitted by T-man on September 3, 2022 - 2:16am

I installed PortableApps to a USB flash drive and downloaded a few apps. Whenever I try to run an app I get the User Account Control message, "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" I then select "Yes", the message disappears like normal, but then nothing happens. I've tried selecting "No" and also "run as an administrator" but those didn't make a difference either.

I'm running Windows 10 Home, Version 21H2 (Build 19044, 1889)

Has anyone run into this before?

Latest version portable apps platform shuffles the icons/programs.

Submitted by gracie46 on August 28, 2022 - 11:04pm

I am finding the latest version of the portable apps program very disconcerting. The list of programs shuffles everytime I select one to open, sometimes so quickly that I inadvertently open the wrong program, and I have to search the list each time I use it because things are never where I expect them to be. It doesn't seem to follow any logic--like putting the currently used program on top. I have looked for a toggle setting to turn off this feature--if it is intentional--but not found anything.

Anki Portable, command line in PortableApps Platform

Submitted by chrisfox on August 3, 2022 - 4:14am

Hi,

Anki Portable is not in PortableApps store unfortunately, so I had to download the official .zip of anki and unzip inside PortableApp folder. To launch Anki you have to provide the location of the data folder on your PC. So I had to provide the data location to Anki, I had to create a anki.bat file with:

    start "" /b "%~dp0anki.exe" -b "%~dp0../../Documents/Flashcards/"

Unfortunately .bat cannot be added to PortableApps Platform.
