Portable App Development

Hi everyone,

I have recently become aware that the PortableApps version of Telegram Desktop is not able to start the webcam stream. The device appears as selectable on the app, but the stream never starts. I have tried downloading the latest version of the installable version and it works correctly there. A quick check showed that the installable version has the path "Telegram Desktop\modules\x64\d3d\d3dcompiler_47.dll", while the PortableApps version uses "Telegram\modules\x86\d3d\d3dcompiler_47.dll".

I don't know if anyone can do a script so either just run it in the USB and it will just download all through powershell It may be a bit quicker as well then the on the board software for updates

I suppose that some users wish to exclude some portableapps from autoupdate while others wish to enable autoupdate function for apps which are inside renamed directories. For those users who wish to exclude some portableapps from autoupdate it's very easy to do by renaming AppNamePortable directory. But what can do those users who wish to rename default AppNamePortable directory and preserve autoupdate possibility? I didn't found an answer for this question.

I think these should be called Pocket Apps or even Flash Drive Apps or something to attract more users, then people can know they can install on their encrypted pocket drives! Just an idea for you guys! Some lesser gifted people might not know what portable apps are.
Just an idea guys! Hope you like it!

Hi, I was just installing the latest versions of my usual software, but Windows has warned me that, unlike all the other portableapps installers that I just downloaded, XnView, Irfanview and FoxitReader are not digitally signed. I double checked by looking at the file Properties for each.

Is this intentional? Do I need to worry that these installers might have been tampered with? Did someone just forget a step when packaging the latest versions of these apps?

Is this the right place to bring it up, so that the issue can be fixed?

Thanks

Hello!

got a quick question/request:

I got an app - Sumatra PDF to be specific - which I want to prevent from being included in the updating process (list of available updates).
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance and

I want to install PortableApps.com on a USB drive, but I use MacOS Ventura. All instructions I have seen are for Windows and other platforms, NOT for Mac.

I am NOT trying to download PortableApps.com on my Mac; I am trying to download it on a USB drive using my Macbook.

How do I go about doing that?

Thanks for your help!
