PortableApps.com Platform

Product name for Libreoffice Base Portable has a slight bug, there are 2 spaces between "Libreoffice" and "Base", ie : "LibreOfficeBase"

Good Evening,

I'm not pretty sure, or if I have still created the Folder "Database". Since I need it each and every day, I'd like to join through the Sidebar, where "Documents, Music" etc. pp. are still allocated.

How I can manage to expand the Sidebar, or do I need to replace another Shortcut like "Music"?

I'm lost, Sorry!

Thank you and Kind Regards

Pit

I have been using PortableApps for years and never seen this before. The platform wanted to update to 26.0, but when it started to do so, Avast Antivirus showed a popup saying that it had quarantined PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_26.0.paf.exe because it was infected with "FileRepMalware [Misc]". Here is a screenshot with the details panel open: https://imgur.com/a/LCyI8Sn

Is there a way to update Google Chrome Portable ? For example, from version 113.0.5672.127 to version 114.0.5735.110 without having to delete all the data in that Chrome Portable (like cookies, extensions, history, ...) ?

I tried deleting the "App" folder in that Chrome Portable and replacing it with the latest Chrome Portable's "App" folder. Is this way effective? Other than this, is there a way to update without the error message "An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start (error code 1: 0x80004005).
Learn more" ?

Been using portable for a number of years now. It has been very reliable. It has its quirks but generally they sort themselves out. Consequently never really had to post issues until now. (First post)
This issue comes under the category of "sorting itself out" expect in this case it isn't and has been steadily getting worse over the last 6 months.

"An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start (error code 1: 0x80004005).

Version 114.0.5735.110 (Official Build) (32-bit)"

After I updated the Google Chrome Portable (manually delete the "App" folder and copy the "App" folder from the latest version of Google Chrome Portable downloaded from the homepage). I got this error.

The problem is that before I was able to run Google Chrome Portable with Selenium Python, but after updating and showing the above error. It can't run Selenium anymore.

For some reason the ReNamer program, which I do use from time to time, always opens upon running the Launcher... Every Time!. it has been doing so for months now and is terribly annoying. There is no option in the ReNamer settings to stop it from doing so that I have found. I recently updated to version 7.5, hoping a resolve was included in the patch, but no luck. Any help to resolve this issue would be most welcome.

For example, if a Firefox update changes two files, firefox.exe and a .dll, why are all PortableApps users re-downloading the entire Firefox installer? you could just have the installer use an index of the updated installer files, CRC32 or some other hash to verify the already installed unchanged versions, then supply the updated files.

Also, if the altered portions of the updated file contents are very small, you could use something like ParPar to patch those, yielding even more bandwidth.

Hello,
i can't open firefox since the last update from 113.0.1 to 113.0.2. is it possible to fix the problem because i need my bookmarks and my passwords?

XULRunner: Error: Platform version '113.0.2' is not compatible with minVersion >= 113.0.1 maxVersion

Hello,

I have installed the Firefox Portable edition and it is working very fine. I also downloaded the Firefox Developer Portable edition and Firefox Nightly Portable edition, but the problem is that these applications do not work at the same time. I have to close and run them one by one for them to work.

I have this alert message.

Another instance of Firefox is already running.
Please close other instance of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition.

Please help!

Thank you.
