Better way of having to click OK "I agree" many times over when installing multiple apps

Submitted by Sprinterdriver on March 25, 2021 - 10:46am

Hi.

This post is a feature request.

So I've just installed several apps on the Portableapps platform. Because of bandwidth limitations, this process takes some time (about an hour).

Some of the reason it takes long time, is that some applications demand the user to click "yes I agree to whatever the message says". In practice, if you want to make this fast, then you must "babysit" the installation - because the time between each of those interruption is very random.

Long loading times and crashes on startup

Submitted by pr0fch405 on March 10, 2021 - 2:58pm

Is there anything that can be done about the sometimes 5+min long start up time of portable apps application? Also, sometimes it likes to crash and not load at all. I've tried multiple USB devices and computers and cant seem to get a stable install. I could be missing something. Been searching the forums and haven't found anything yet to solve my issue.

Hello,

I am wondering the option get more apps the does not seem to be a search function is that correct ?
Also what ever option By title or By category I take the loading is painfully slow min 45 sec sometimes longer.

Is there a way to speed it up I gues its the loading from the repository that is taking so long but there are no options to get a different local repo ?

Finding a way to let the Apps clean up after a crash without having to start them again

Good day everyone,

I run into this problem quite often since my pc will crash or the apps wont shut down properly when i shut down my pc.
i read on the support page (https://portableapps.com/support/portable_app#didnotcloseproperly) that there is no easy way to fix the problem.

Define directories to search for PA apps?

Submitted by nnewton on February 6, 2021 - 10:52pm

After using the PA apps for over a decade, keeping them updated has become tedious so I decided to finally take a look at the Platform app. But I cannot find anywhere in the config where I can tell it where to look for my Portable Apps.

After reading the support page for it and some other forum posts, I think I have determined that the apps must be in the "PortableApps" sub-directory in the Platform's directory. On a side note, this isn't really made clear anywhere, maybe add a line on the support page.
