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

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?
Hi, I wanted to double-check my understanding of the portableapps.com standalone installation / usage as there were a few apps I was interested in using, but I downloaded 2 as a test and neither work - so either I've mis-understood something or there are some issues!
Summary tech info:
When I try to install the helper on MacOS Ventura 13.1.1 I get an error saying it can't write to a weird directory called prefix\Documents where the prefix is garbage - any idea why and what the fix is? I can't see how to attach a screenshot to help.
Getting this error message when trying to update to Process Explorer v17.03 in the PortableApps platform.
"The downloaded copy of Process Explorer (https://download.sysinternals.com/files/ProcessExplorer.zip) is not valid and can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete."
I figured there must be Is there a setting for this, but I can't find one? Sometimes it will hide to my systray, thus, I won't see it's still active.
