I LOVE portables apps. I have a tool called CodeXCavator2 which I would like to release as a portable app, and make it available for install via the Portable Apps application, Get More Apps menu.

So I have read through the developer documentation, and packaged it all up etc.

If you look here: https://github.com/Ben136KBC/CodeXCavator2/tree/master/PortableAppsFiles you will see the .paf.exe (As well as all the other files that go into the installer)

Good day

Ripples tell me
there is a directory \ FirefoxPortable \ Other \ Source
as I understand it, she is responsible for compiling the MozilaFirefoxPortateble assembly.
I myself have built an assembly with additional plug-ins for myself.
Compiled via PortableApps.comInstaller_3.5.11 without problems

Packaging the 32 and 64-bit versions of Krita together doubles the installation size

Submitted by Stephen Leibowitz on December 23, 2018 - 11:23am

The Krita Foundation publishes separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Krita. In contrast, when the PortableApps Krita setup file (currently KritaPortable_4.1.3.paf.exe) is run, it installs both the 32 and 64-bit versions (the Krita and Krita64 subfolders). The problem is these subfolders are big. The sum of the two subfolders is 656MB, with each of the two subfolders taking about half that space. The entire PortableApps Krita is less than 1MB larger.
