CommandLineArguments

Submitted by Gaber on May 16, 2020 - 12:06pm

Hi,

I have read the instruction, but there is a thing I can't understand...
I'm trying to readdress the folder C:\ProgramData to MyApp/ProgramData.

CommandLineArguments=--ProgramData-directory=%PAL:DataDir%\ProgramData

Is CommandLineArguments the right command?
How can I call C:\ProgramData?

Thanks.

Foxit Reader Portable 9.7.2.29539

Submitted by Stamimail on May 8, 2020 - 9:09am

I don't know if it is a PortableApp problem or app problem.
I run FoxitReaderPortable.exe
RightClick on the taskbar button to pin the program to taskbar.

The problem:
The program that is actually pinned to taskbar (for the next launch), it is not the portable exe.
This is what pinned:
"...\FoxitReaderPortable\App\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader.exe"

"Repair app" feature

The following post contains feedback, suggestion(s), and/or a feature request for the PortableApps Platform on Windows:

Please add a feature to the PortableApps Launcher that checks my installed app's for errors using MD5 or SHA256 and reinstalls if necessary. This could be an option in the right-click menu for individual apps, or in the right-click menu to "Apps."

Create exe file

How do you create the exe file in the portableapp main directory? Do you simply copy the executable of the app or do you convert a batch file that launches the executable of the app, or neither of these?
I'm new to portableapps and I can't find a comprehensive guide explaining how to make an app portable from beginning to end.

Icons in appicon.ico

Submitted by malore on April 24, 2020 - 1:16pm

I read in the development documentation appicon.ico should contain the following 16px (8-bit), 32px (8-bit), 48px (8-bit), 16px (32-bit), 32px (32-bit), 48px (32-bit) and, optionally, 256px (32-bit). What about 20px and 24px icons? Can we include that formats too or we can't?

Renseignement

Bonjour sujet peux être déjà crée mais pas trouvé de réponse
Je voudrai savoir comment et à qui il faudrait s'adresser pour ajouter des applications portable au catalogue.
je pensais à une application que j'utilise régulièrement comme "recall" qui permet d'extraire tout les numéros de licence des différents programmes pour pouvoir les réinstaller par la suite ( après formatage par exemples ).
