A question and a request for IrfanView

Submitted by Winnie_W on September 18, 2023 - 5:28am

Hello,

I want to know why the installer of Irfanview installs both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions of the program.

The develeper of Irfanview has updated a few plugins without changing the version number of the program.

Two format plugins contains security fixes, which is important especially for the WebP format.

Thanks.

How can I install a only a single version of 64-Bit And 32-Bit Apps?

Hello could you please tell Me if there is a setting in the PortableApps platform somewhere for Aplications that come with both the 32-Bit App version And the 64-Bit App version to only instal one of the two versions? And if there is one where do i find it? And how can i set it to if possible install only the 64-Bit version?
With a wish of a good day to you and a thank you beforehand for any reply.

Updater uninstalls apps that were not downloaded

Submitted by Swwright on September 9, 2023 - 2:21pm

There's a bug in the updater: it uninstalls apps even if there is not a replacement.

TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
1. Wait until there are two or more updates to be downloaded.
2. Begin the update process.
3. Cancel each of the downloads.
At the end of the downloads, the updater will uninstall all apps to be updated, then will discover the update files are not present and display an error for each of them. (Sure would be nice if the updater had a log, the error display vanished rather quickly.)

Installing PortableAppss without installation (W10)

Submitted by mmerlin on August 31, 2023 - 7:29am

In our company we have any installations blocked by different security agents. However, we can unzip things and run them. I want to use couple applications (e.g. Thunderbird) on the PC and was hoping that PortableApps would help. However, I realized that in order to even use the Portable Apps I first need to install it - which completely defeats the purpose of what I thought PortableApps is supposed to be. I tried to read through different documentations but everywhere I see that I first need to 'install it'.

Still problems with Veracrypt and FileZilla Portable

Submitted by ANSnick on August 24, 2023 - 4:59am

Hi there!

There ist a topic from 2016 about this, but I still encouter this problem and have no solution yet:

I use FileZilla portable within a Veracrypt container / Drive.
I always close FileZilla after use.
The Veracrypt container ist automatically dismounted when I switch off the computer and Windows shuts down.

Always after I start the computer and mount the Veracrypt container again, FileZilla says "App did not close properly and must be cleaned up" - which is very very annoying.

I can't update the Platform on my main computer for the past few weeks

Submitted by StuckInAProxyLoop on July 29, 2023 - 8:04am

This is a reason why I made an account here, I just want to fix the error once and for all

A few months ago, I tried updating the PortableApps.com Platform, but for some reason I can't update it, ended up deleting everything and starting over, I still have it

I tried asking Reddit twice, I Googled it, and even asked my dad, nothing worked and I still have this issue

Manually updating and installing still works, but I don't really want to do that
