PortableApps.com Platform

Is it possible to add a setting menu such that when you right click on the program it is one of the options available. The setting menu will work with AppNamePortable.ini located in the AppNamePortable directory next to AppNamePortable.exe. This way you remove one more need to manually edit files in the directory.

I have used PortableApps for many, many, years. Just on my desktop in recent years. I used to keep a flash drive and a desktop installed PortableApps platforms in sync with each other. I do not see how to do that anymore. So far, I do not see syncing mentioned on the site - except a couple minor irrelevant references.

Years ago: I would work on one or the other, plug my flash drive into my PC, and they would sync.

Can PortableApps apps on separate devices be synced?

Hi John,

As you requested in topic https://portableapps.com/node/43393, I am making a new topic.
My problem is as follows:
- the updater seems to update my apps, but if I rerun the updater, the apps need to be updated again.
- My PortableApps folder is located within my My Documents folder C:\Users\abcdefg\Documents\PA. The Portable Apps are located in the subfolder 'PortableApps'
- I'm running Windows 8.1 64-bit

Hi,
Is it possible to add a new environmental variable to the platform for PAL:LastPortableAppsDir which will store PAL:PortableAppsDir for next time.
The reason for the request is that the other two available options are either to far in or to far out.

So i installed the portable apps platform, it works great. One problem i have though is the fact that it renamed y thumb drive and changed the logo. The name is required for work so i can collaborate effectively and it would be a pain to change this. Anyone know how to change the name back to work1?

To be honest, I am not sure where this post should be classified, but I can gladly move it if need be. So please advise if the better choice would be " Off Topic" instead of in here as I have placed it already. Thanks.

I have a problem with the updater: When I try to update I get a long list of programs. I try to update all of them, and the updater works for a long time, downloading and updating. When I start the updater again, I get the same list – the programs have obviously not been updated.
I try to download a single program installer and run it, but it says it cannot write to a certain file. When I run the installer as administrator, it works, and the program disappears from the next list.
I suppose there is a silly setting that is wrong. Can you help me?

I am trying to download an new copy of PortableApps and I am getting this error message when I try to install.
The Signature of PortableApps.com-Platform-Setup-12.0.5.paf.exe is corrupt or invalid.

Sorry if I couldn't express myself at the title.

I download portable apps and unzip them individually and do not launch them by platform, I make shortcuts for each and run them that way. By this I feel like they are installed apps in Program Files not portable ones.

Anyway, I want to update them all automatically. Because I unzipped and installed them myself, the portableapps.com platform doesn't see them. They don't appear in the menu.

So without using platform, can I or how can I update my apps all together?

thanks.

Hello,

I use Appsportable on three supports : Hard disk of ma PC, USB Disk and USB key. On Hard disk and USB Disk, thre is no problem for automatic updating.

But, with USB key, the update don't work. Manual update too (on the same machine at th same time whatever at home or at office).
