how does the platform store its database?

Submitted by john errington on June 9, 2020 - 1:29am

I'm trying to manage my collection of about 150 portable apps
OK I know I can delete them in the platform or from the portable apps folder, but I'd like to sort them by category
And deleting one at a time in the platform would be tedious to say the least.
Does anyone know how the platform maintains its database?

Software Restriction Policies - DLL issues

Submitted by Aikiki on May 8, 2020 - 6:37pm

So, the PortableApps launcher runs some temporary files (DLLs) from the temp folder (C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\).

This is a problem if there are Software Restriction Policies with DLL rules. Unless that Temp folder is whitelisted the portable apps won't run. It will show an error "Another instance of [portable app] is starting...".

Is there a workaround for this, that doesn't involve whitelisting the Temp folder?

New Chrome Portable Version Not Detected

Submitted by wwwKris on May 3, 2020 - 6:19am

Portable Apps Platform doesn't seem to be detecting that a new version of Chrome is available on portableapps.com. My installed version is 80 but the latest version is 81. I tried running a manual update through Apps > Check for Updates but it doesn't show the new version either.

Platform version is 16.1.1 and Chrome was installed through the platform into the default directory.
