PortableApps.com Platform

Windows 10 Pro / 22H2
Portable Apps 29.5.3 on USB stick

After updating the apps, it often happens that any input in the search field starts the first app in the favourites.
Unfortunately, this behaviour is not always reproducible. But if updates have been made, the probability of this error occurring is very high.
After restarting the PortableApps platform, the search can then be used again without any problems.

Is there an option, when deleting/uninstalling an app to bypass the recycle bin?

I recently converted a .bat file to a .exe file using the first process described here (i.e. using IExpress):

https://adamtheautomator.com/bat-to-exe/

I have placed the resultant .exe file in its own folder inside the PortableApps folder, but the PA Platform fails to recognise/find this .exe file. Yes, I have refreshed the app icons and even restarted the computer and PA platform but no joy. If I navigate to the folder and double click on the .exe file it performs as expected.

What's the point of the documents folder? Do some of the apps that can be installed somehow require it?

Why does the platform have a setup app, rather than simply being downloaded as a zip file? What requires the setup app?

The download URL for v29.5.3 points to the previous version.

After completing an update, when I tried to close the platform, this was the response

After waiting a while, and several attempts, I eventually had to use the task manager.

Hi,

Not sure if it is me or is there a problem downloading apps. I have used different browsers (Vivaldi, Floorp) but the download simply stopped midway.

Tried downloading a few apps but all ended up the same way - stopped midway.

Has been like that for the past 2 days already.

Anyone having the same issue?

Thanks

I'm curious if it would be possible to allow Windows to close the updater window as part of its shutdown procedure.

Case 1:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Portable Apps platform.
2. Click the apps button
3. Click Check for updates
4. Updater pop-up shows apps that have updates available
5. Go to Windows start menu, click the power button, and select shut down

Expected behaviour
The portable app updater window is closed, and Windows successfully shuts down.
