PortableApps.com Platform

I don't know about anyone else, but as my app collection grows, I'm finding it harder to justify having a single category (say, Utilities) without some means of sorting or filtering it. I don't think the problem can be solved properly by allowing the user to add categories beyond the handful that is now there. From what I have gathered from perusing the forums, it seems nesting won't be on the PA roadmap for the foreseeable future.

If I launch Openoffice Portable from the folder on the usb drive and set a language (in my case Italian) then Openoffice Portable is launched always in that language. If I then launch it from portableapps (set to italian) the language of Apache Openoffice is reset to english (even if launched from folder).

This is on Windows 10 pro x64

I'm using Portable Applications extensively and use the Platform launcher to start programs, so in W7x64 I could make the icon to always show in the tray, but now with W10x64 I've done this setting many times with no success - the icon gets hidden after restart. Is this something that is impossible to do with W10 or is there a trick to it?

Thanks,
Volodya

PA's Wise Registry Cleaner is at 8.81. I have 8.72.559 on Win 8.1 and Win XP but the platform doesn't think they need updating.

First off, I'm aware that PortableApps is a PC program but I know there are ways around this.

I tried figuring out how to install PortableApps on my Mac myself but was unsuccessful. I've never tried to install a PC program on my Mac before so I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I have access to the programs CrossOver and PlayOnMac.

Can anyone offer advice or detailed instructions on how I can install and use PortableApps on my Mac? It would be much appreciated!

(written out or video tutorial links. whatever works)

how do I downgrade a portable app?

Every time I "Check for Updates" the updater claims there is an update to Xonotic 0.8.1. I've updated several times to this version and I'm still getting the same update message. I've even downloaded this newest version from Source Forge and installed. Still get the notice that Xonotic 0.8.1 is available as an update.

Hello everyone,

I'm using PortableApps for some years now and in addition to the already huge
amount of apps I also added lots of other, also portable progs.
To find the needed app, I often use the SEARCH - functionalty. This reduces the
shown Apps in the Menu, depending if the search is part of the apps name or if
'it looks like, part of an describing index / keyword list'.
Now I like to know, if there's any possibility to add / change /edit these 'keyword
lists' & if possible, how to do so.

Hello, everyone.
I was installing the latest version of PortableApps.com, but this software couldn't find my cloud softwares like Google Drive, and Box. So... Do you know how to fix this problem? Or how can I install this?
Thanks in advance.

as stated, when i update check, it wishes to update a program that's not installed. the culprit is jportable 8 update 66. i used to have this installed, but had uninstalled it. apparently, something is left that is causing this. i snooped around the folders to try and spot something to erase manually, but didn't find anything. does anyone know (to focus my search) which folder etc i should look in to spot the left overs? i checked the default data, the bin etc, but no obvious name jumps out at me.
