Portable App Development

If I try to create a launcher for a folder like C:\Users\[user]\Documents\test this\PortableApps\something (note test this) then it fails (complaining about the name= of the program and if I also remove spaces from the name= then it complains about the folder itself).

But if all I do is create a symlink to it from c:\something and run the launcher on it then it works perfectly.

Could you make sure it supports long name folders with spaces?

Hi John, i have noticed that the release of updates is very slow

how can i use older versions of chrome portable
i hope somone can answer me

The last page of the updater has a very very little font size. This is not a functional problem - I can click finish and it went away but it isn't looking nice.

Hi folks, I'm a long term user and I saw how the platform grow and became more and more usefull and fun.
I have a request for the new version, A checkbox in options that enables the window of update apps to not be loaded when the app starts, but it is loaded when close the app.

Hi,
I need an open source on-screen keyboard I could change, so I tried the portable one, it worked well for my basic needs, so I got the source code from the app page, but turns out that it's very different from the binary distributed on the page.
Where can I find the current source code?
Thank you.

I am currently developing an application that uses a .hidden directory to store its settings, etc.

When I add this folder to AppNamePortable.ini, it creates the original .hiddenAppNameDirectory that I'm attempting to copy, and also another directory beside it called .CopyOfhiddenAppNameDirectoryCreatedByPortableApps or something similar.

I have tried adding the settings.json file only to no avail.

Is there a way to rewrite a line in the settings.json on startup, or is there some other way I am missing here? Am I out of options?

Normally, what I would do when I get an update for an portable application is that I'd run 7-Zip, go to the app directory and create a backup zip of said portable application before I update the app. This has saved me multiple times whenever I need to downgrade the app for whatever reason.

I'd like for my process to be automated though, built into the Updater app, maybe as an opt-in option in the Advanced tab.

Thanks.

Hi,
How can I disable the popup that warns that the upgrade didn't work?
