[Fixed] Notepad++ Portable 8.6 launcher detected as malware by Microsoft Defender

Submitted by greg45416 on December 20, 2023 - 6:36pm

Hello,

I am running Windows 10 64-bit. Starting recently, Windows defender is flagging Notepad++ portable (version 8.6) as Trojan:Win64/Malgent!MSR and putting it in quarantine when I try to run it. I have reinstalled a couple of times, but it now catches the file during the installation process.

This isn't a blocking issue for me, but I wanted to let you know.

Thanks!

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

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

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?
