[Fixed] 32-bit files & folders left behind after updating dual architecture apps

Submitted by duttyend on December 1, 2023 - 8:54pm

Dear John,

Thanks again for the awesome platform and the newest update!

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to delete the 32-bit files & folders in dual architecture apps when one is using exclusively 64-bit versions of apps & OS?

Have a great weekend

[Closed] Updating PortableApps-Plattform deletes my favorites (like notepad++, filezille, ..)

Submitted by ZuckerToni on November 27, 2023 - 3:02pm

Hi there,

updating the plattform allways kills my favorites which i set in the launcher. these favorites are f.e. notepad++ or filezilla.

is there a setting-file for the plattform itself so i can do a backup before updating the plattform?

i do NOT mean the favorites of portable browsers like firefox or others. just the favorites of the plattform itself.

thanks

Dear Developer,

I am trying to open Portable Thunderbird, but I am receiving an error message that says "Thunderbird is already running, because i have already thunderbird installed in my PC and i am using." I have tried several solutions, but none of them have worked. I am hoping you can help me resolve this issue.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Platform 26.3 on Windows 11 23H2 is very large

Submitted by Bergie on November 5, 2023 - 8:23pm

The menu pops up full height of screen but normal width with very large font, overlapping text at the top and not all icons showing. Opening the About dialog is also outsized, making it impossible to use. Are others having this issue?

Using Dell laptop with latest Windows 11 23H2 version. 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-11800H with 16gb ram. Very fast WiFi connection and there was no problem reported with the Platform installation. Apps have updated since the menu distortion, and Apps I can still see open normally.
