PortableApps.com Platform

Hello,

Does Portable Apps Platform, scan additional directory / directories for other portable apps?

I have a few non open source apps like CCleanerPortable, etc. These apps are not updated by the portable apps updater and I have to manually update them from time to time. Some apps like WSCCPortable update them selves from the app itself. And some tools are single exe like Microsoft Spy++, WiFi2Hotspot, WMI Explorer etc.

I would like to keep them in separate directories for maintenance purposes.

I recently installed Portable apps to my DropBox folder. This has worked well. However, I then decided that this was a waste of space that I was paying for and there is lots of space in my employer supplied OneDrive for Business folder. I have now copied everything over (drag-and-drop) and it is syncing. Unfortunately, I get the error that OD4B does not like the file name "Default%20Settings" in the folder "PortableApps/KittyPortable/Data/Sessions". I assume the problem is the % in the name.

The instruction here is not working: https://portableapps.com/support/platform#addingotherapps

See screenshot here: http://imgur.com/a/6ZmVp -> apps are where they are supposed to be, as instructed above, but how ever much I select "Apps | Refresh App Icons", the apps do not appear. Restarting PortableApps and booting don't help either.

I am thinking of switching to the Platform proper. Currently, I download and install each PortableApps.com application individually. I am looking to solve two wishes by switching to the full platform.

I use the PortableApps.com Platform mainly to use fonts without Administrator privileges, as well as a few minor games. As this is the only use for me, I have no use for getting new apps most of the time. However, the Platform asks me about new apps every startup. Is there any way to disable the process and only ask about new apps when I tell it to?

Thanks

Good day,

I have installed PA on my laptop.

If I want to copy them to my desktop, do I simply copy and paste the "D:\PortableApps" folder ?

Thank you.

EngHai,

Why i can not update on autostart without start.exe?
it was more efficent!

Hi,
I set Windows7TaskbarIcon=false but it does not work on win 10, the Portableapps icon is not hide.

Is it normal for the platform to take about 20-30 seconds to load each time? The UI comes right up, but it appears to be scanning for the apps for about 20-30 seconds.

I have one of the fastest USB drives out there and am loading it on a USB 3.0 port, so I really don't think the issues with with the storage device. Is this normal?

Hello,

The problem:
PortableApps created a folder Documents with subfolders Videos, Music, Pictures in C:\Users\MyName\, but those do not point to the correct, redirected versions of the personal system folders.
