About

Portapps is a collection of portable apps for Windows. You can download your favorite application as a portable setup, or a 7z archive.

Each portable app is executed through a wrapper [appname]-portable.exe written in Golang to make the app portable. This will allow you, for example, to use your favorite application on a USB stick.

I'd like to request a Menu Application for PortApps which is similar to PortableApps Menu.

Must Have Features:

  1. Keyboard Short Cut to Launch
    Like Window key for Start Menu or Ctrl + Alt + Space for PortableApps Platform Menu.
  2. Search Box
    Search box to search for Applications.
  3. Update Feature
    Ability to notify and update installed Portable Applications.

Thank You.

  • Comment (anything else which might help) : Several requests for official portable version but comments by the developers. https://github.com/meetfranz/franz/issues/912 currently I wasn't able to find any portable version implementation online.

Enhancement: Please add checksum/hash to releases

Sometimes, somehow downloads may even lead to subtly corrupted downloads. Any of the hashes would give a better way to verify download completion, i.e., uncover corrupted ones.

Just create the hash after the app is built and publish it alongside the main product(s) on the GitHub release page.

For example, the appropriate checksum files for the manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64.iso file (64 bit Manjaro release 0.8.1 with the XFCE desktop) would be:
manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64-sha1.sum, and/or
manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64-sha256.sum

This would also help in case of users using scripts. Or in cases of unreliable network/connections.

portapps Windows Defender bug

Unfortunately the portapps installer for WhatsApp under Windows 10 gave me the following warning and stopped running :/

The appended screenshot is in German, the warning means:
„Your computer was protected by Windows.
Windows Defender SmartScreen prohibited the start of an unknown app. The execution of this app may be a risk for the PC.“

I‘ve managed to run WhatsApp now through the 7z archive, so I think something has to be adjusted in the installer to be run on the current Windows 10 version.

Greetings
Marius

Any hint?

Thanks!

Add a desktop client to access google mail - and perhaps other google services

@crazy-max

Having a portable app, a local application, to read gmail would be useful under certain environments.
One of the most interesting characteristics that the application should have is to allow simulteneous isolated email accounts...

As example, the closest idea I found is wundermail. https://wundermail.app/pricing/
This is closed source, propietary, fremium, only Windows.

I found several potential candidates/approaches, but the number of them seems vast; some are just examples as contraints made them probably not usable for this purpose.

a) GMDesk
https://robertnyman.com/gmdesk/
Seems free. Based on Adobe Flash/Air / Source not publicly available / No info on license

b) Destop app generators, such as Wavebox
https://wavebox.io/
Wavebox allows to "desktopize" web based aplications. Fremium. Source https://github.com/wavebox/waveboxapp
macOS, Windows & Linux
MPL 2.0
Based on electron etc.
It is not a gmail desktop app but a generator of deskop apps....

c) Inboxer
https://github.com/jmarino/inboxer
Available as appimage can not be run freely under W10 (see https://discourse.appimage.org/t/run-appimage-on-windows/177)

d) several electron based or alike for other SO.

d) IDEAL

  • I am still searching for something like GMDesktop but that would not need Air or similar elements not off the (windows) self, multiple OS, open source, etc.

Will extend the list as I progress with my search

Alternatively, having a dockerized Wundermail running on Docker™ Toolbox portable would be a nice solution.... but I am unsure if dockeriring Wundermail would be not legal/legit.

Might be it would be Franz™ portable the tool I ask for?

Thanks

How to trust your distrubted binaries? How does this work?

Hi,

This looks like an awesome software package, but, how can I trust the binaries and support files for Skype.exe, Slack.exe, etc? Where do you source them from? (And out of curiosity, do you have the rights to do so?)

Also, how does this work, in general? What mechanisms do you use to fake having registry keys installed and such?

Handle Application User Model ID

Behaviour

Steps to reproduce this issue

Windows 10

  1. Pin the portable executable to the taskbar
  2. Click it

Expected behaviour

Firefox uses the pinned icon

Actual behaviour

There is an additional icon

RElated: BrowserWorks/Waterfox#91

Configuration

App release / arch (ex. 1.0.0-2 win64) :
Latest Firefox Portable "1.23.0"

Operating system (ex. Windows 10 Pro 64 bits) :

  • Comment (anything else which might help): Disable auto-update

Add settings file

Hi, it is possible to add support for INI files. Some apps (e.g. browsers) have command line switches.
Using shortcut or 3rd-party launcher is sometimes not a preferable solution.

The INI file could have structure:

[NameOfApp]
EnableCommandLineSwitches=true
CommandLineSwitches=some switches

and maybe some other options for portapps wrapper .

Update mechanism

Does .61 portable incorporate an update facility? (not of brave-core but of the portable)

If yes, how?

If not, could it be introduced? Would you?

TIA

[AntiVirus] Continued Trojan Flagging of PortApps

For lack of a better central issue reporting area, I am posting this here.

As reported before with Windows Defender by another person here, PortApps continue to be flagged as a Trojan (the other person reported only Skype Portable).

Since into last year both Windows Defender and BitDefender have continually flagged the 4 Portable Apps from PortApps.io that I use as a Trojan through use of heuristic detection.

I have attempted to notify both several times and submitted what they asked for, however, 8 months now and they continue to be a royal pain in the ass!

Skype/Discord/Boarderless/Slack

I have reported this for other software, but typically until the application author makes a report, BitDefender wont do squat, this is my request to ping them upside the head with a rather large spiked club...

Enhancement: Provide distinctions information against the already existing portable ports

For exemple, KiTTY was ported to portable builds already.. Having some information on what differs from this portapps version against all of the other available portable port would be greatly appreciated.
for instance, what make each of those different from this portapps version:
