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??

File Access Denied

Submitted by PeterMNZ on April 10, 2022 - 4:45am

I have a 1 TB USB Drive which I use reasonably regularly.
My PC is a Win 10 HP computer 64 bit, a few years old.

Now when Portable Apps opens it minimises after saying "file access denied".
At the same time it does call and install updates.

Can anyone please help??

How to have menu also use apps in another folder?

Submitted by thebanndditt on April 4, 2022 - 4:51pm

Hello, let's assume PortableApps platform and apps are installed to

C:\PortableApps\

but we also want to have the PortableApps launcher/menu etc be able to see/recognize other folders; to be able to have portable apps in more than 1 folder.

eg. C:\UTILS is where we would like some utilities to go.

Yes, I am aware that a PortableApp can be standalonei nstalled to C:\UTILS, and that is what we have done, and created a shortcut for.
But we also want to be able to launch a PortableApp that is in C:\UTILS from the PortableApps launcher/menu.
