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

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.)
