Hi, all.

I am facing a problem with Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition, v38.0 or v38.0.1 (or ...), because I can't start this portable app in my machine, Dell Precision T3610, with MS Windows 7 Professional.

I have a non-portable installation of Mozilla Firefox v38.0 in this machine. This non-portable app can to be started, without problems, in this machine.

But, Mozilla SeaMonkey, Portable Edition, v2.33.1, can to be started, without problems, in this machine, too.

Best Regards,

DSFB.

Hi folks,

I tried to make my first app portable. After creating proper help.html, appinfo.ini and icons, I tried adding a launcher with the Portableapps.com Launcher Generator.

Well, the launcher is generated and starts the correct .exe file, but in the wrong directory.

I mean this: Imagine these three files:
C:\out\launcher.exe
C:\out\MyCoolAppname\real.exe
C:\out\MyCoolAppname\some.ini

I belive this is the right place for this topic, if that's not the case please feel free to move it to the right place or notify me where should i place it, and i will do so.

Portable apps is a great tool for almost anybody, but has far has organization is concerned, it is not very intuitive.

i mean it has 300 or more applications, but (in my case i installed them all) when i try to search a specific apps, i get lost.

Hi there people. I downloaded an up to date copy of Xnview (portable) today.
An image viewer program. I put it on a flash drive. One of the settings I chose for it
was "do not delete to recycle bin" Of course now I am wondering where a deleted
xnview file will be placed (somewhere on flash drive). Maybe it just becomes free space?
If I could find the xnview setting I'm using, maybe I could specify a particular folder.

Hi

I am trying to set the documents folder in a launcher and am using %PortableApps.comDocuments%, the portable apps menu is a local install so the documents path is C:\users\UserName\Documents but the PortableApps.comDocuments variable returns C:\Documents which does not exist.

How is the variable derived?

Thanks

Would like to introduce a new portable app from Alcohol Soft.

Dont worry about the download it is 100% clean with zero additional software or ads.
Any ideas on how to improve it would be welcomed.

Hi

I know you can move files, and remove directories but is it possible to delete a file.

I have a piece of freeware that appears to be no longer supported and am making a launcher for my own personal use. The program list items as a directory tree and remembers it's state by the use of an xml file in it's root directory. I would like to delete this file so the directory tree is always closed (first use) I can do it manually without any adverse affects on the software and wondered if a launcher could delete the file either before or after launching the program?

I was just testing https://portableapps.com/node/38992 which moves the user folder to app folder on launch. For some reason, the Data\user directory is currently locked and can't be deleted/moved/renamed. The result was that an empty App\SciTE\user directory was created, then when the app ran, it put some default files in that directory.
