How to install some apps outside of the main platform's folder?

Submitted by MikeBlazer on September 10, 2022 - 2:22pm

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?

Does PortableApps.com work better within its own drive ?

Hello all,
due to hardware problenms i have to migrate to an new laptop and it is painfiul , so that I plan to run as many portable applications as feasable.
I am new to portableapps.com and like it so far. I habe some questions and plan to write several posts to make things clearer.

I have the most important data on a nextclud server and sync that to a local folder on C:\

I create subfolders for each environment and start from there and this works fine. Does it make sense to assign drive letters to the path of the environments ?`

I am starting to use the Portable Apps Platform for the first time. I have several Portable Apps applications already installed on one of my computer hard drives. How do I add those already Portable Apps programs to the Portable App Platform without losing those programs' configurations?
thank you

Apps won't run

I installed PortableApps to a USB flash drive and downloaded a few apps. Whenever I try to run an app I get the User Account Control message, "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" I then select "Yes", the message disappears like normal, but then nothing happens. I've tried selecting "No" and also "run as an administrator" but those didn't make a difference either.

I'm running Windows 10 Home, Version 21H2 (Build 19044, 1889)

Has anyone run into this before?

Latest version portable apps platform shuffles the icons/programs.

Submitted by gracie46 on August 28, 2022 - 11:04pm

I am finding the latest version of the portable apps program very disconcerting. The list of programs shuffles everytime I select one to open, sometimes so quickly that I inadvertently open the wrong program, and I have to search the list each time I use it because things are never where I expect them to be. It doesn't seem to follow any logic--like putting the currently used program on top. I have looked for a toggle setting to turn off this feature--if it is intentional--but not found anything.
