Foxit Reader not responding

Submitted by alman2001 on May 26, 2020 - 3:33pm

Hi

I must say thank you so much for this awesome service I have made a donation and this is one of the best services out there as I never knew about portable apps before. I love the range of apps & that i don't have to continually update apps & i have far less issues since i went portable with my browsers.

Just today I had issues with Foxit reader not responding. I think there was an update at some point i can't recall. have a screenshot of error message:

GNUcash requires administrator rights (sometimes)

Submitted by paulvp on May 17, 2020 - 2:59pm

I'm experiencing a strange problem with GNUcash as follows:
When trying to launch the program from the portableapps menu via the usual single left click, nothing happens. I then found that using a right click and 'Run as administrator' launches the program just fine. However, sometimes, a single left click will still work.
So far, I haven't been able to establish a pattern of when the left click does/doesn't work. It seems to be random.

Hi, It's been a long time since my last post here but I'm still an active PApps user.
Question is as follows, I have a Calibre Portable installation in a USB drive wihtout anything else. Just the App and the library with dafault settings. This app is storing 1000 PDFs which are scientific papers about a specific subject. The intention is to allow colleagues to copy the USB drive so they can have the collection with them. I renamed the CalibrePortable.exe to something like ScientificJournals.exe and that's the only think I changed in that USB.

FoxIt

I'm having two issues
1) the FileOpen plugin is no longer working on the portable install (recently updated to version 9.7.0.29430)
2) there is a new FoxIt 9.7 version and I'm curious if my item above is because the plugin updated and is no longer compatible . In the plugins page, file open is not certified or loaded (no check marks, just a red circle with a diagonal line). cannot find a ZIP file to test and see if this is the issue.

[Fixed] FocusWriter 1.7.3 saving data locally

Submitted by j_quadrifrons on September 23, 2019 - 6:56pm

I shift my PortableApps between four computers: two Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit machines at work and a Windows 10 Home 64-bit and a 32-bit laptop at home, and I've found that since (I think) the last platform update, FocusWriter is saving some settings data locally and some on the portable drive. As far as I can tell, daily goals and sessions are being saved in C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\GottCode\FocusWriter, while the primary settings file and themes are being saved in E:\PortableApps\FocusWriter\Data where they belong.
