I BELIEVE THIS WORKS ON CHROME
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?
Some SUMo settings not "saved" in v5.11 : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/sumo-keep-your-software-up-to-da...
Problem comes from reg value "DarkMode"
According to Webroot software updater 3.5 has a virus and won't allow it to load. Malware group is W32.Malware.gen.

2.44 wasn't recognised as needing updating, appinfo.ini looked good. I downladed 2.45 and installed it over the top.
Should there be a [KeePassProPortable] section in PortableApps.com Updater Database? There isn't in mine.
After the last update, the menu wants to run "DSynchronize.com" but the executable is "DSynchronizePortable.com".
Good morning

The version of PortableApps.com Platform is 16.1.1
The O.S. is Win10 64bit
My program works well
[EDIT - mod GC] Corrected post to indicate this concern is in reference to the platform.
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?
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.
