"Repair app" feature

Submitted by Jeb on May 6, 2020 - 1:31pm

The following post contains feedback, suggestion(s), and/or a feature request for the PortableApps Platform on Windows:

Please add a feature to the PortableApps Launcher that checks my installed app's for errors using MD5 or SHA256 and reinstalls if necessary. This could be an option in the right-click menu for individual apps, or in the right-click menu to "Apps."

Create exe file

Submitted by malore on April 24, 2020 - 4:32pm

How do you create the exe file in the portableapp main directory? Do you simply copy the executable of the app or do you convert a batch file that launches the executable of the app, or neither of these?
I'm new to portableapps and I can't find a comprehensive guide explaining how to make an app portable from beginning to end.

Icons in appicon.ico

Submitted by malore on April 24, 2020 - 1:16pm

I read in the development documentation appicon.ico should contain the following 16px (8-bit), 32px (8-bit), 48px (8-bit), 16px (32-bit), 32px (32-bit), 48px (32-bit) and, optionally, 256px (32-bit). What about 20px and 24px icons? Can we include that formats too or we can't?

Bonjour sujet peux être déjà crée mais pas trouvé de réponse
Je voudrai savoir comment et à qui il faudrait s'adresser pour ajouter des applications portable au catalogue.
je pensais à une application que j'utilise régulièrement comme "recall" qui permet d'extraire tout les numéros de licence des différents programmes pour pouvoir les réinstaller par la suite ( après formatage par exemples ).

Add ability to modify paths

Submitted by rlnicolaijr on March 28, 2020 - 9:50pm

Would it be possible to add the ability to modify the shortcuts of the following icons on the main menu

Documents
Music
Pictures
Videos
Backup

I run into issues with long paths as I nest a number of folders.
In order to overcome issues, I try to keep folder names short as possible and in the root folder
