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.

Long overdue features

Submitted by Go_sit_in_the_c... on July 24, 2022 - 6:49pm

Sorry, but tough love time. Apparently I registered this account 4 years ago, but I've used PA for as long as its been around (admittedly not heavily). So, I have to ask...

Question 1: Resizable menu when?

Seriously, it was okay when laptops were rocking 1024x768 screens, but it now makes far more sense to use a secondary launcher over the actual PA Launcher. I still launch the PA Launcher every once in a while to get updates, but otherwise ignore all its features.

Problem Ejecting USB Drive

Submitted by daven2411 on June 25, 2022 - 2:40am

I am having problems ejecting my USB drive after using PortableApps. If I insert the USB drive, do a few file copies from File Explorer, then eject the drive, all works fine. But if I launch PortableApps, shutdown PortableApps, then try to eject the drive, it tells me that there are files open on the drive. I've checked in Resource Monitor and I cannot see any files open on my USB drive but it still won't eject. I am using version 21.2.2 of the platform which I believe is the most up to date. Any suggestions as to what is causing my problem.

[Closed] How to avoid having PortableApps Platform showing up in Alt+Tab ?

Hi,

I am really annoying having PortableApps Platform showing up in Windows Alt-Tab:

Windows never included its Windows start menu in the Alt-Tab so why does PortableApps does that ?
I do not understand the concept behind? why do you need this ?

Cool date in update dialog

Submitted by Xandl on June 14, 2022 - 5:44pm

Hello,

the update dialog displays "2022-06-00" in the date field for SumatraPDF 3.4.6.
That's not really a big deal or problem, it just tells me that is a manually entered date, in stead of the upload date.
Just liked to mention it.
I made a screenshot, but cant see how to attach it here.

Cheers,
Xandl
