Portable App Development

The Krita Foundation publishes separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Krita. In contrast, when the PortableApps Krita setup file (currently KritaPortable_4.1.3.paf.exe) is run, it installs both the 32 and 64-bit versions (the Krita and Krita64 subfolders). The problem is these subfolders are big. The sum of the two subfolders is 656MB, with each of the two subfolders taking about half that space. The entire PortableApps Krita is less than 1MB larger.

After a quick look, I am getting residual files/folders from Foxit Reader, Joplin, Firefox, TeamViewer, and Thunderbird.

Hi All,
I have a business idea that requires programmed information (on the USB device) to interact with USB enabled television sets, at pre-determined periods of the day, in either a "screensaver" view or "scrolling" banner view. It must interact with the TV's clock. Is this possible?

Hello everybody,

I would like to learn creating an portable application. Despite the detailed information on this website and some tutorials elsewhere on the internet I find it very hard to understand because of problems with my concentration and attention span. (Yes, ADHD...) I understand the concept, however I get confused by the many tweaks I have to enter into the ini-files. I know all the information needed is described in the manual, but by seeing hundreds of tweaks needed to be entered for a correct ini-file it gets unorganized and confused.

hello,

I've been running chrome portable 32-bit,
but I decided to try 64-bit,
so, I downloaded the paf file from sourceforge and installed over,
I updated the latest version from portableapps platform though and
I saw that my chrome portable reverted to 32-bit again,
why was that?

can't portableapps update 64-bit version of chrome?

or maybe it couldn't detect that this was the 64-bit version and
I have to do some manual modification in order to work?

thanks

qBittorrent v4.1.4 was released.

I am looking for a copy of this if anyone can point me in the right direction please?

Every portable app I have has had this feature/issue that has been bothering me for a while. I've seen this behavior on MPC-HC and FoxitReader, to name a few, and since the same message appeared on multiple apps, I'm assuming this is a part of the core framework.

Try opening an app and then crashing it.

Now try opening it again. The app will tell you it didn't shut down correctly and needs to clean up. That's perfectly fine. So you click ok. And that's it, the app cleans up and closes.

I am not a developer. But I am trying to customize it for personal need.

What I want is every bar, menu or button removed, except the address bar.

Perhaps, the websites on the homepage as shortcuts.

How do I do it?

For my personal comfort I developed over the years a cmd-script that automates the use of a secured PortableApps platform on a NTFS-VHD, that I'd like to share ...
