qBittorrent Portable – Include Python for Search Feature

Submitted by xmha97 on November 21, 2025 - 9:39pm

Hello John T. Haller (@JohnTHaller) and the PortableApps Community

I want to raise a concern and suggest an improvement regarding qBittorrent Portable:

When using the Search feature in qBittorrent Portable, the app tries to install Python on the host system.

This behavior breaks PortableApps’ own guidelines, because the app modifies the host system rather than being fully self-contained.

How to import Site information from non portableapps Filezilla Client installation?

Submitted by pstein on November 14, 2025 - 1:42am

I have already a non-portableapps Filezilla client installation on my Win10 system but want to switch to portable apps Filezilla Client.
After download and extraction of pa version I imported previous FZ settings (from existing FZ installation).
The only file import offered was "filezilla.xml"

It worked only partially..

The layout was adjusted to the old FZ.

But the site manager information (shown in leftmost toolbar symbol) was NOT imported.
Existing site list is empty

chrome portable cannot load extensions

Submitted by ropr on September 12, 2025 - 1:31pm

Hello John, after upgrading chrome portable from 139.x to 140.x, all my extensions fail to load. I tried repairing it on the extension page but did not work. I tried reinstalling it and get the following error: Download error: Could not load javascript 'nscl/lib/browser-polyfill.js' for script. Any help is appreciated. I have downgraded back to 139.x for now and all the extensions loads properly.

Chrome portable, not truly portable?

Submitted by amish on September 7, 2025 - 8:34pm

l am using my bank's website, and each time l click remember me, it doesn't remember me and requires me to go through stringent verification. This probably means that chrome, and other portable browsers are deleting my cookies and other history. lf it's portable, why can't l continue where l left off, even if on different computers? lf it's truly portable, shouldn't everything move along with me?

Unable to access transmission web interface

Submitted by sidahmed on September 6, 2025 - 10:06am

Hello
Whenever I try to access, I get this error
404: Not Found
Couldn't find Transmission's web interface files!

Users: to tell Transmission where to look, set the TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable to the folder where the web interface's index.html is located.

Package Builders: to set a custom default at compile time, #define PACKAGE_DATA_DIR in libtransmission/platform.c or tweak tr_getClutchDir() by hand.
Any help is greatly appreciated

[Fixed] MyPAL Portable 74.1.1 Wrong SSE Builds

Submitted by JLim on August 5, 2025 - 2:28pm

The custom code for which version to run, sse or non-sse, seem incorrect.
Based on the discussion here: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/164
and the release note of v68.13.8b (https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/releases?page=2)
SSE means computer older than Pentiom4 (Pentiom3 or AthlonXP).
