Wrong install path, files have to be moved manually

Submitted by stormsh on January 8, 2024 - 10:09am

Hello there,
I use the latest Verison 28.0.1 on Win10 64bit.

When I upgrade the Platform (App Updates are fine) it is installed in the wrong path.
Current path to platform: C:\Portables\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe
Path where updates are installed to: C:\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe

So I have to move the files to the correct path manually. Not bad, but unnecessary.

Is there a way to change the installpath? Shouldn't the new version just be installed where the old version is?

Thx 4 F1.

Feature requests for updates

Hello,

I have some feature requests for the upgrade process. It would be great if each update would

- install immediately after its download (and not after all other downloads have finished)
- not have to be downloaded again, if the installation didn't complete
- not have additional confirmations, if the PortableApps start menu was closed before the installation started

Cheers

Frank

Is There Anyway To Have A Browser Portable App To Save Login Info. ?

One of the portable applications that I have installed on the device I utilize to use the portableapps platform (128 GB SSD) is google chrome 64-bit. Instead of the browser remembering my login credentials, it seems like I have to submit my login credentials everytime I startup the portableapps platform. As I don't leave my windows 11 computer running all of the time, I'm wondering if that might possibly be what's causing my issue ? Thanks in advance for any help that might be provided.

[Fixed] 32-bit files & folders left behind after updating dual architecture apps

Submitted by duttyend on December 1, 2023 - 8:54pm

Dear John,

Thanks again for the awesome platform and the newest update!

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to delete the 32-bit files & folders in dual architecture apps when one is using exclusively 64-bit versions of apps & OS?

Have a great weekend

[Closed] Updating PortableApps-Plattform deletes my favorites (like notepad++, filezille, ..)

Submitted by ZuckerToni on November 27, 2023 - 3:02pm

Hi there,

updating the plattform allways kills my favorites which i set in the launcher. these favorites are f.e. notepad++ or filezilla.

is there a setting-file for the plattform itself so i can do a backup before updating the plattform?

i do NOT mean the favorites of portable browsers like firefox or others. just the favorites of the plattform itself.

thanks
