Database Browser Portable -- not usable without (Oracle/SQLServer/whatever) client

Submitted by Swwright on November 3, 2023 - 7:59pm

Just downloaded Database Browser Portable, intending to replace DbVisualizer. Tried to connect to an Oracle database, was told that the Oracle Client was not properly installed. Went to the publisher's site (https://www.etl-tools.com) and eventually found that the tool requires that a client must be installed, for the database system you want to use. Database Browser uses the client's drivers to connect to the database.

[Bug] Notepad++ loses session when opened with multiple files passed from Explorer

Submitted by OsakaWebbie on September 24, 2023 - 11:50pm

I assumed this was a bug in Notepad++ itself, but when I reported it on the Github repo, others helped me realize that it only fails in the PA version. See that discussion for details: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/14161

Hide the startup error

Hi John
I created a small portable app based on the PortableApps.com format.
This app usually remains open and closes when the system is turned off.
See the following message: https://i.imgur.com/d31S0TV.png
This message is required for other apps but for this app, no.
Because it doesn't store any data anywhere.
Can I disable this launcher.ini message?

INI file without section

Submitted by xmha97 on February 11, 2023 - 8:43pm

I want to create a PortableApps.com version of the RetroArch
RetroArch settings are saved on RetroArch.cfg
RetroArch.cfg is an INI file without section, for example:

```
accessibility_enable = "false"
accessibility_narrator_speech_speed = "5"
ai_service_enable = "false"
ai_service_mode = "1"
ai_service_pause = "false"
ai_service_source_lang = "0"
ai_service_target_lang = "0"
```

How do I set a value on an INI file which does not have any section?

Notepad++ ini file missing per launcher but file exists

Submitted by mtabor on November 7, 2022 - 10:41pm

Trying to run Notepad++ Portable, standalone. Installed fine, but getting error message whenever I try to run the app:

\App\AppInfo\Launcher\Notepad++Portable.ini is missing [Launch]:ProgramExececutable - what am I to launch?

The Notepad++Portable.ini file exists, and is visible in Windows Explorer.

I installed the app on a network share, mapped to a drive.

Other similar errors I found on the forum:
