PortableApps.com Platform

Sometimes if I haven't used my computer for a long time there will be a long list of updates for my Portable Apps. If I just want to quickly update my portable Firefox browser so I can jump on and do some internet banking safely, I have to manually deselect all the other apps one by one which takes an eternity, or else leave it with all apps selected which will take ages on my slow connection.

Yesterday, I got this desktop notification when I tried to close it the platform

Chrome had already been closed for quite a while. Two instances in the Task Manager

I've been using the platform for some time. First time for something like this.

the 'SHA256 Hash' under
https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable
for the 'German' entry is the hash for the version before 102.3.0 and not for the version 102.3.1

I want to open Chrome Portable windows on my laptop screen. With 2 Chrome Profiles for 2 halves of the screen. Or 4 Chrome Profiles for the 4 corners of the screen. How to do so?
Please let me know. Thanks very much

How do I get my programs or platform to function?
Obviously, I'm missing like only 1 step! I have my cpanel via bluehost however I'm not doing something correctly. Someone please assist me!

Is there currently a way to programmatically close the PortableApps.com Platform, such as from a batch file?

I tried:

PortableAppsPlatform.exe /?

to see if it would list command line options, but none were presented.

If it's not currently possible, could this functionality please be added? Supporting something like the following will be ideal:

PortableAppsPlatform.exe /quit

TIA.

Happened every time I have used Filezilla - disconnect from server - quit filezilla correctly and portable apps can no longer be closed as filezilla still running. Task manage shows no record of filezilla and in order to close Portable apps end task used.

Is it possible to pin favorite folders to the right side of the menu?

I have installed the Portableapps platform on a removable drive with around 10 apps in total.

I'd like 2 of the apps moved to an internal drive so I don't need to connect an extrrnal one when I need to run those two apps.

I know that I can install any of the apps separately, without skipping the platform, but the I would need to update them manually.

Portableapps platform makes staying up to date easier.

Is there a way to install some of the Portableapps platform's apps outside of a standard platform's folder and still get them updated from the platform?

Hello all,

does it make a difference to call a portable program via menu or directly ?

Thanks a lot
