PortableApps.com Platform

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.

I have two computers running Windows 10 Pro. Both computers have the taskbar set to auto hide in desktop mode. In the last day or so, the PortableApps menu has started behaving badly on both computers. When i click on the PortableApps icon on the menu, and move the mouse toward the menu, the menu immediately disappears. If I turn off auto hide, the PortableApps menu behaves normally.

As I said, this is new behavior and NOT related to any platform update. I have been using PortableApps.com in this configuration for years with no problems.

Hi to the developers,

I love your work. Recently I am using an extra screen for working and I set the external one as the main desktop instead of my NB's built-in one. PortableApps launcher moves after the restoring from the screen's power-saving suspending. I think this is because the 2 screens have different resolutions.

I wonder if it's possible to have a new UI design like Windows 11. The launcher is located at the centre of the screen with a flexible size by the number of apps.

Good day,
Would it be possible to make a small change to the “Download New Portable Apps” dialog to allow all apps in a Category to be selected, instead of having to select them individually?
Many thanks for considering this.

Hello everyone.
Until yesterday, I were able to download and install new Apps by using Apps->Get more Apps->By category, but now, as I try, I get an error telling:
"Unable to connect to PortableApps.com to retrieve portable apps. Please try again later. [ Redirection (303) ]"
Why? Note I'm using Wine with XUbuntu, but this didn't happen until yesterday, indeed.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Edit]: I get the same error regardless if I choose any other submenu of "Get more Apps".

When I plug my 18.0.1 'Win To USB' external hard drive into my 64-bit HP Windows 10 computer I get the following message: "There's a problem with this drive. Please scan this drive now to fix it." If I scan the drive, the 'Win to USB' program no longer functions and must be reloaded onto the external hard drive. I assume the problem is with the 'Win To USB' program (rather than a specific program from Portable Apps.com), and it occurs with or without an installed third party antivirus program. Can anyone comment on a similar problem and solution?

Thanks,
