Portable App Development

Hi, just to mention in case not known about - on my Win 10 system the option for boot time defrag is greyed out (and not available) when the app is run though PortableApps.

However, the option is available both when the app is installed into windows, and in the standard portable version from here.

Thank you!

I set google chrome portable as my default browser. When you click a link outside, like in your email client, the link will be directed to google chrome portable. One thing really annoys me is when the length of the hyperlink exceeds 1024 (I guess?), it will trim the string automatically. In current days, the length can easily exceed 1024. Any suggestion to work around this?

After a recent Portableapps / automatic apps update.
every time I launch PortableApps from my portable hard drive one of the apps launches automaticly ( inkscape)
Not sure if this is a bug or some setting I have touched.

Removing Inkscape and re-installing it via "get more apps" dose not fix the issue.

After a clean install today, I found a folder named Mozilla left on %ProgramData% and the portable program didn't clean it. In my opinion, it's not perfect to be a portable app. Please fix it! I can provide more information if needed.

Hello & good day! New fellow developer here with some quick questions

Most of my apps never write to registry and are -in general- contained into a single folder (ApplicationName.exe + a .dll here & there).

As I get it, the gist of publishing around is to make the application work into your installer… correct? i.e. only proper submissions using portableapps.com format.

Hi, after executing ccPortable (v5.83), on a clean 21H1 Win 10 x64 System, I've noticed the following leftovers in registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner

I hope you will solve. Thanks.

Hello all, I am the developer of AuthPass: https://authpass.app/ and recently got a request from a user to make it a portable app. I wonder if you have any suggestions and if it would be possible to publish it in the portableapps directory?

I already created a release which is "portable" - ie. it is a ZIP with will launch without any external dependencies and only write into a Data subdirectory: https://authpass-data.codeux.design/data/artifacts/AuthPass-portable-1.8.2_1731.zip

So it's like:

hey, there please can anyone update links text based browser to the newset version 2.23 ? Thanks alot

Hi, I have written a custom.nsh script that adds symbolic link functionality to PortableApps launchers. You can find it here, functionally replacing the DirectoriesMove function.

It does have some disadvantages (NTFS-only and admin required) but there are use cases like videogames or apps that generate a lot of data where I find it's the optimal solution. Please check it out if you have the time and tell me what you think.

На днях столкнулся с проблемой, Portableapps launcher не переносит папки с русскими наименованиями. Что нужно делать в даной ситуации?
