Portable Chrome much slower than a few releases ago

Submitted by 1StevenG on November 20, 2019 - 11:46pm

I have Portable apps Platform and Chrome (latest stable) installed on a virtual hd. Chrome is much slower than a few releases ago. It is slow starting up (loading files from the virtual hd) and retrieving web pages (poss. problem with cache, located on virtual hd.

I had normal Chrome also installed on my normal hd, and there's a Chrome folder under AppData which I suspect is still being used, but my the profile being used is on the virtual hd and the Chrome on the regular hd has been uninstalled , possibly before I noticed the slowdown.

how to create portable app

Submitted by chipsang on October 19, 2019 - 11:48pm

Hi friends Good Morning.
Wishing You all a very cool weekend.
I am varad from India & this is my first post.
I am trying to create portable applications of some common utilities and softwares which will save installation / activation time.
I tried vmware Thinapp and cameyo , both are creating apps but Thinapp creates very large sized app. Typically a 50MB sized installation when converted to portable gets expaned to 600Mb in size. So its of no use as it lacks portability. I think I am not making right selection of options.

It looks like there's a licensed version of Delphi that can be used by the community to help build the platform again. Delphi Community Edition 10.3 should let developers build the current platform from source. The current platform is built with Delphi Professional 10.2.

You can get it from here after registering: https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/starter

Please let us know how it works for you.

Thunderbird Splash Screen

Submitted by hayashibara on September 19, 2019 - 4:27am

Hi guys,

Any idea how I disable the Thunderbird splash screen? I have these ini files:

ThunderbirdPortable\Other\Source\ThunderbirdPortable.ini
ThunderbirdPortable\ThunderbirdPortable.ini

Both have 'DisableSplashScreen' set to true, but it doesn`t work, the splash screen still appears.

The ini file seems to work for all other apps, just not TB.

Thank you,
H.

Please update to new Version of Gnucash (3.7)

Submitted by ZeFix on September 10, 2019 - 10:31am

Currently in PortableApps Version 3.6 of Gnucash is existing.

But there is already a Version 3.7 available on source of the program.

Can someone take care about including it in portable.apps ?

... there is a new fix for european banking since 09.09.2019 and the aqbanking component is required that it can be used with the new banking interfaces and strong 2 factor authentication.

It would really help much if someone can care about an update
