Java JRE Download Link

Submitted by burnuser on June 7, 2022 - 8:48am

Some Apps need Java to work.
Most of them needs an actual JRE, which is also a much smaller installation-file than the full JDK.
The JRE has also its own directory at sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/OpenJDK%20JRE%20Port...

But in the App directory I can only find the JDK version to download, not the JRE (or maybe I'm to blind to see it.)

Folder Icons

Submitted by WolfsInk on June 1, 2022 - 10:44am

I'm working on a thumb drive for soon to be CompSci student who just graduated high school when I'd noticed that the core folder icons PortableApps creates aren't all from the same cookie cutter. My OCD kicked in a bit and I made them all to have the same folder shape and similar colors to the originals. I placed them in the ..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\WindowsFolderIcons folder and replaced the originals, but for some reason when I tried it on a new PC they just looked like normal folders.

System Shutdown prevented after apps update ends, until "Finish" button pressed

Submitted by andublin on May 26, 2022 - 6:07am

Bug: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1706] 64 bit, and current version of PortableApps,
Only a minor annoyance:
System Shutdown is prevented after apps update ended, until "Finish" button is pressed
Maybe unnecessary system modal dialogue box? (please forgive me if terminology incorrect)

To reproduce:

One or more apps update is started, left running and user is doing other work in foreground.

Categories

I would like more control over categories.
I would like to easily remove, rename, and add new categories.
Moving a list of apps to a new category is cumbersome and emptying an unwanted category means moving numerous apps somewhere else.
Can this be done through the .ini file?

Adding additional environment variables to the platform

Submitted by Brisingr Aerowing on May 24, 2022 - 11:21pm

I'm setting up a portable development environment using PA.c, and a couple things I'm using (.NET 6 SDK and Python) have environment variables that can tell them where to put things. I'd like to have a file somewhere that lists those and is loaded by the platform upon startup. Is that currently possible?

I don't know what's going on, but updates went from slow from to ludicrous slow. Win7 x64 / Linux under Wine Win7. Some odd months ago updates would take 15-18 minutes. Then that went up to 30-40 recently. Now.. now I've been running updates for about 2 hours. One will hang occasionally, so it's not entirely the apps fault, but what in the HELL is going on here??
