Why encouraging developers to submit new launchers?

Submitted by lwc on May 13, 2023 - 3:47am

Outdated Official Portable Applications always claims "Pre-Releases and Other Test Versions" are "None" even though Test Releases is full of programs.

The last entry in that page is from 2019 and none of the comments get any reply, so why encouraging developers to submit new programs if they have zero chance to get accepted and also no chance to even get listed?

Launcher breaks for long name folders with spaces

Submitted by lwc on May 6, 2023 - 7:39pm

If I try to create a launcher for a folder like C:\Users\[user]\Documents\test this\PortableApps\something (note test this) then it fails (complaining about the name= of the program and if I also remove spaces from the name= then it complains about the folder itself).

But if all I do is create a symlink to it from c:\something and run the launcher on it then it works perfectly.

Could you make sure it supports long name folders with spaces?

Hi folks, I'm a long term user and I saw how the platform grow and became more and more usefull and fun.
I have a request for the new version, A checkbox in options that enables the window of update apps to not be loaded when the app starts, but it is loaded when close the app.
