PortableApps.com Platform

Hi,

I like to use portable apps (on the system drive) because of the automatic update feature.
Some are even in Windows Autostart (CrystalDiskInfo...), which sometimes leads to the "App has not been propery closed"-message (not sure about exact english phrase).
(I think when shutting down Windows the PortableApp-Launcher sometimes gets closed before the app it is monitoring)

It is then starting to clean up and exits.
It would be so much more convenient, if it could just start the app anyway after cleaning up instead of just exiting.

Seems insignificant.. & it kind of is

Every other issue has been resolved so.. my last petty grievance..

It's the last thing I can't get off my freakin' taskbar haha

The whole app drawer launcher UI whatever you want to call it..

For users experiencing this, please visit this bug and testing post: https://portableapps.com/node/57916

When I started PortableApps I got a list of three applications that needed updating. When I tried updating I got the following error message:

On startup today, I got the attached error popup.
OS: Win 7, 64 bit

(How can I attach screenshot)?

Hi there!

I'm using the Platform for some years, and I see it's changing but the dialog window for getting new apps is still without any search box, however it got 10 categories there and 200+ item which are hard to find quickly when you need it.

Dialog window of PA Updater (aka PA Directory) is shown below

Hope it would be invented in the future releases of the Platform!

Hi everyone. I just created portable installation of my old Diablo II LoD and my portableapps platform menu get 10 new files what belongs to diablo II LoD. Can I somehow create program group to store all Diablo II LoD related files ?

Possible workaround can be to hide unwanted files but i don't know how.

Thanks

When I try to update my apps, I get this message:

My anti-virus (Spectrum Security Suite, F-Secure) won't let me install the beta. It claims to give me the opportunity to override the block, but then that fails--still won't let me install.

This is my personal laptop--I should be able to install this, but I don't know how.

FWIW, I already have 15.0 Beta 2 installed. I might have just copied from a flash drive.

Is there any way to run a program with arguments from the client?

Right now the only "documented" way of doing so is modifying the appinfo file to open a batch file (*.BAT), which in turn runs the program i want with the arguments (e.g. Steam "Portable")

If there's no way, could the developers watching this forum add this funcionality? Some apps require admin rights without those arguments, making impossible to run everywhere.

Is it possible to tell Backup to backup files from another Flash Drive other than the one it is installed on. It apparently only wants to back up files from the device it is installed on. I was hoping to do other drives that do not have any PA stuff on them.
