Pocket Apps

Submitted by Antarctica-UFO on September 23, 2023 - 9:01am

I think these should be called Pocket Apps or even Flash Drive Apps or something to attract more users, then people can know they can install on their encrypted pocket drives! Just an idea for you guys! Some lesser gifted people might not know what portable apps are.
Just an idea guys! Hope you like it!

XnView, Irfanview and FoxitReader are not signed

Submitted by zeech on September 22, 2023 - 2:23am

Hi, I was just installing the latest versions of my usual software, but Windows has warned me that, unlike all the other portableapps installers that I just downloaded, XnView, Irfanview and FoxitReader are not digitally signed. I double checked by looking at the file Properties for each.

Is this intentional? Do I need to worry that these installers might have been tampered with? Did someone just forget a step when packaging the latest versions of these apps?

Is this the right place to bring it up, so that the issue can be fixed?

Thanks

MacOS Ventura

Submitted by pastor on July 20, 2023 - 4:03am

I want to install PortableApps.com on a USB drive, but I use MacOS Ventura. All instructions I have seen are for Windows and other platforms, NOT for Mac.

I am NOT trying to download PortableApps.com on my Mac; I am trying to download it on a USB drive using my Macbook.

How do I go about doing that?

Thanks for your help!

PotPlayer 64 bit is needed for Dolby TrueHD

Submitted by ChocOrange on July 13, 2023 - 6:29pm

The 32 bit version of PotPlayer no longer supports Dolby TrueHD sound. It now only works in the 64-bit version. It's been this way for around 6 months so I doubt it's a bug.

Can PotPlayer be updated to include the 64 bit version please?

A Dolby TrueHD test file can be downloaded from https://www.demolandia.net/downloads.html?id=48882118

Tested using the official Daum PotPlayer downloads.

What am I doing wrong?

I want to make a very simple app called Nettime 3.20 alfa (https://www.timesynctool.com). During the installation the program only copies its files to the standard Program Files (x86) folder and (after changing anything in its config in the program itself) adds this configuration to "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Subjective Software\NetTime" section. I do not install its service, so nothing else happens.
