PortableApps.com Platform

It will be much useful if an app can be called by hot-key press. For example running Notepad++ from combination of some chosen hot key.
The functionality can be activated by adding some line to the 'appinfo.ini'

Thanks for the hard work on maintaining this app collections

While on the support page (https://portableapps.com/support/platform) there is a section which explains that the location of the PortableApps.com Menu is remembered I couldn't find how to reset its location.

How could one reset the location of the menu?
Where is the file the information is saved?

There is a translation not being used on the updater, 'Utilities', please see image https://mega.nz/file/jk8mhLKC#YRiGLrNGF8vWHOOIzVeAP2M8XhuDa-bHEBTFtqXhkFI

Best regards

I had a PortableApps USB go bad the other day so I got an extra USB and put my backup from two weeks ago on there. Now I hit the PortableApps Start icon, the menu comes up like it should but the rest of my desktop icons disappears. It only happens on my PortableApps USB and none of the others.

It's screwing with Windows explorer.exe somehow. I ran the built-in repair tool on Windowsand it didn't find any errors.

Is the USB corrupt?

Is there something wrong explorer.exe?

Is there something wrong with my icon database?

Hi! I've been an avid user of PortableApps platform for more than a decade now.
The only thing I never liked in it was slow loading time. Is there any way to increase it? Maybe PAP can cache the list of apps and update it in background?
Thanks! Sorry if the solution is very easy

Hello community,
I am having some issues with PortableApps when switching my 6TB HDD from laptop to PC.

Basically, I may spend few weeks using a laptop and then switch back to my deskptop. In order to always have the same apps and configs, I am using this hdd but lately I am unable to load any portable app I used on the laptop, or even worse, I can start ThunderBird but the emails and accounts are gone.

My guess is it's not 100% PA fault, or at all, but something related with Windows 10 permissions or something (which I left unchanged since the installation).

Hello.

Sorry for my poor english.

Is it possible In windows "PortableApps.com Updater" ? :
+ Button "Download only" + checkbox + field "destination path".
+ Checkbox "MD5" for download appfile.md5 in addition .
+ Checkbox "SHA256" for download appfile.sha256 in addition.

Objectif :

For users of portableapps.com, only one download for many pc and/or pc offline.
For portableaaps.com, less traffic.

Cordially. Eric TRAVERT

When selecting both Firefox and Firefox developer version only one of them will update/install. Then I have to select again not updated/installed firefox to update/install it.

Same thing with java (jre, jdk).

Hi. I use Win 8.1 and when I simply open the Options menu in PortableApps, after closing it always opens a strange explorer window that doesn't have nothing inside, no buttons, no bars, nothing. The only way to close this window is going in the bottom taskbar and closing this windor from there.

Nothing very dangerous, but strange.

thanks.
