PortableApps.com Platform

I'm looking for information about how the updater of the platform works ...
I did not find anything in the documentation: https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/index.html
neither in the index, in the complete table of contents, or in the glossary

Hi,

I use a Python based portable "audio" player named quodlibet.

After downloading and extracting its archive, I found the two windows shortcuts to start the player and to start the ID tag editor.

The portableapps menu does not show the player, nor its executables, which are one of the sub menus.

Is there a chance to include windows shortcuts, pointing to executables, or the executables, they point to, into the portableapps menu, into the app list?

Best regards,

Martin

Hello!

My problem is, that I can't update some portable apps. 1 or 2 have been done, but the rest will not update since some days. Can you help me with that?

Here's the link to a screenshot:

I'm looking to automate the process of setting up the platform on USB devices for lower-income students who don't have access to their own PC and I was wondering if there is a way to script the platform setup to run silently and install several portable apps automatically without user intervention. I've been googling and googling but I am not finding anything. I can't even find the NSIS source code for the platform setup. Please help! I just want to automate the creation of a bunch of devices for these students

Hi,

If this is already documented apologies but I've searched and cannot find.

I'd like to be able to silent install the platform selecting the location and apps to install.

e.g.

PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_14.4.3.paf.exe /silent /location D:\PortableApps /apps applist.txt

appslist.txt could just be a list of apps :

Google Chrome
7-Zip
KeePass Password Safe
Putty
WinMerge
etc...

Many thanks

After the update to beta 2, all applications require an administrator login and password at startup.

System Windows 7 ultimate Service Pack 1

(for example) these applications were to be downloaded: https://i.imgur.com/GXIJ831.png
but every request gives an error: https://i.imgur.com/XQkh8Kj.png
- for a long time, certainly for a few weeks.
standard download via www is possible.
So, what's going on...?

Hello,
Some portable apps are on a usb stick. Recently checking for updates get an error notice which says (as copied from the error message): "Unabble to connect to PortableApps.com to retrieve portable apps.
Please try again later. [InvalidZipFilePossibleConnectionOrFirewall]"
I have not done any changes in the system, did not touch anything in firewall settings, and have not any antivirus installed, just windows defender.
System is win 10 pro.
Last week when update still worked - the only update was the platform.
Answers will be appreciated.

Are there any differences between "local" and "cloud" installations of the Portable Apps Platform? I'm currently syncing the platform between two computers using Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) but am wondering if I should switch to Dropbox if there is some difference in the way the Portable Apps Platform handles the installation.

I have existing portable apps on my computer that weren't downloaded through the Portable Apps Platform. Can I simply move them into the Portable Apps Platform folder or do I have to download them through the platform in order for the platform to be able to update them?
