PortableApps.com Platform

have just installed the platform update version 19.1. the problems i have encountered since are, Libre office will not launch because it informs me i am running windows xp operating system, so it will not launch. also Sumatra PDF portable willnot launch it gives me the same message. Other applications such as Open Office. Audacity, are not affected. Also the app platform does not stay active on the task bar, after an application is started.

Have to report the following issue: I try to update to the newest version of FFx by manually starting the platform updater from the platform menu. The new version of the FFx was found, downloaded and kinda successfully installed. After the start of the FFx I got the message, that xul.dll isn't compatible with the current version.

Thank you for your help.
Is it possible to change the default "X:\Documents" to another location? The last discussion I have seen is from 2006 (https://portableapps.com/node/625). I have not found an .ini that I could edit.
Thanks, again.

Hi @JohnTHaller Please use a better icon for the PortableApps folder. (like Windows 11 folder icon) The current icon is very old. Please download WindowsFolderIcons.zip

Is anyone else finding that it takes up to a minute for the menu to load since updating from 18.0.1 to 19.0 under Win 7 Pro SP1 (x64)?

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?

Hello,

I has been a few weeks since I could properly update my portable apps with the Updater.
The downloads the connection speed slowly goes down and eventually the connection drops, an error message is displayed and to whole process fails.
