I need to write this XML file on first launch and every launch after:
https://pastebin.com/5U9fsaF1

This doesn't work first launch, as defaultdata doesn't use environment substitutions.

Whats the best way to do this? Just remove all the root URLs and home path then write in the launcher?
Im going to have to write with the launcher anyway to update paths at startup.

Thanks.

Hello,
I like the PortableApp Plattform and it would be handy if there is a search field in the "Portable App Directory" window. I mean the window which is opened when there are no apps installed.

Please change this youtube.lua in vlc app
https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/videolan/vlc/master/share/lua/playlist...
please put it in:
VLCPortable\App\vlc\lua\playlist

This fix open youtube link inside vlc.

Thank you for your time and help.

I have create a portable application with PortableApps.comLauncher and it work.
But when i try to use PortableApps.comInstaller i get:

ERROR: AppInfo.ini - Control - Start=[Format], file is missing.

why? Start is configured and work with launcher.

Some time ago i have found (but i don't remember how i have found) this setup package:
JDownloaderPortable64_Build_35650_ffmpeg_64bit_Multilingual.paf.exe

It's working good also at today....... i can check the Upgrade of Jdownload from app directly and i have correctly update my app to latest but i have see there's a little trouble.

When i exit from JD on Task Manager i see one process remain in execution.... JdownloadPortable.exe. I can Exit from JD correctly but if i want to relaunch the app i obtain an errors says another instance it's already in execution.

Just created paf package for latest update of Rambox 0.7.1.

• Fast startup: it doesn't move data directory to %APPDATA% folder, instead, run from data folder directly.
• Cache cleanup on exit
• Disable auto-run on system boot
• No splash screen

Download here: RamboxPortable_0.7.1.paf.exe

I have Portable apps Platform and Chrome (latest stable) installed on a virtual hd. Chrome is much slower than a few releases ago. It is slow starting up (loading files from the virtual hd) and retrieving web pages (poss. problem with cache, located on virtual hd.

I had normal Chrome also installed on my normal hd, and there's a Chrome folder under AppData which I suspect is still being used, but my the profile being used is on the virtual hd and the Chrome on the regular hd has been uninstalled , possibly before I noticed the slowdown.

If someone want to make an app PA.c Fomat officially, he can't have access to this file to finish his build

Is that normal?
