PortableApps.com Platform

Appears to be a big problem with apps not being found when attempting to download them. A "redirect error " appears. Looks like trouble with Sourceforge....... I have a screenshot of the error but do not see a way to include it with this report.....

I am writing a launcher for Zoner Photo Studio 18 (free version), it runs but few details must be set.
This application store preferences in the registry, and some of them reference the system disk path (%windir%).
In order to manage the system disk path (as %PAL.LastDrive%), I have added a LastWinDir entry in the AppNameSettings.ini.
I need to use the LastWinDir entry in the AppName.ini in [FileWriteN]:Type=Replace section.
How can I get LastWinDir entry in a %VARIABLE% (%PAL:LastWinDir% doesn't work) ?

I had the platform installed on a Sandisk Cruiser, everything worked wonderfully. Then I tried installing Wine on my Linux Mint machine ... never did get it working. Now I'm back at work on a Windows 10 machine, open my PortableApps Platform just as I've done for weeks now, and all I get for a PortableApps launcher is a big green box, with "lblAppButtonxx" where my app buttons would be (xx being 01 through 20); if someone can tell me how to add an image to my post I'd be glad too.

Hello!

At first, great work here! One thing i´d like to do, but can´t figure out:
Is it possible to resize the Launcher with the app listing? For me its a little to small.

Can anyone help me?

Hi!
I'm having a weird issue with the updater... it started doing this about a week ago and it's starting to annoy me.

The problem is evident when I try and close the portableapps launcher. I get the "

The following app is still running:
PortableApps.com Updater
Please close all portable apps and try again.

but when I get this message, the updater is no longer visible and has done its job. But when I check the task manager, it's still running in the processes.

I was wondering if it is possible for an organisation to create a custom installer / updater which instead of getting the list of applications and updates from your site, it uses its own server to distribute the installation packages.

Reason for asking is that in big organisations what staff can install is often restricted and controlled. And even once an application has been approved for installation, keeping it up to date is a nightmare as each application has its own way of doing this.

I searched this and found many old threads on it, but no actual answers. One even said it was planned as an upcoming feature to be able to change it, that was from 6 years ago. I'm not seeing any setting for it in the platform.

Am I missing something? Is it possible to move the location of the Documents folder to inside the portableapps folder so that it's not cluttering up the root?

Hello,
I use PortableApps for a while now and my PortableAppsMenu.ini is quite long (>2000 shortcuts).
I add "personnal" portable apps (i.e. without the "portableApps" format) just have them in the PortableApps menu and to synchronize all in a personal cloud.

The thing is : PortableAppsMenu.ini contains a lot of obsoletes links, and PortableAppsMenu takes a long time to start.

Is there a way to clean up the shortcuts in PortableAppsMenu.ini ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I have a few apps that I use in the portableapps platform so that I have a common launcher for the apps. Because these apps were not installed via portableapps platform and they my own apps, I have stored it all under a folder.

After doing that I am no longer able to find the launchers on portableapp list neither it returns any search results.

I downloaded portable apps software to my sd memory card but ı deleted it. now ı cant change my sd memory card's name and icon what can ı do??
