There was a Crashpad issue causing the APPDATA directory to be left behind that was fixed in today's releases. I can't reproduce the others on any OS. Please post a complete bug report in the support forum here: http://portableapps.com/forums/support/other_apps We have hundreds of apps and bug reports as comments on another site often won't be seen and won't wind up being addressed, at least not in a timely manner.

@Emka: Can you post in forums about what you're seeing? Sometimes if you have an add-on it will write to appdata.

Hm, now I can't reproduce it... I'll post in the forums if I encounter it again. I already did so for Thunderbird Portable.

LibreOffice Portable v7.0.4 Updated
billon on 5 Jan 2021 Change history
- 493MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 5 Jan 2021
- Suggested by JohnTHaller
LibreOffice is a complete productivity suite including word processor, spreadsheet, presentations, database, drawing tool and more. Includes strong compatibility for 100s of file formats including Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio etc.). The program is similar to OpenOffice, a program that it was derived from, but has added many new features and improvements.
LibreOffice Portable is a special build developed in conjunction with the publisher. On systems without Java installed, some functions such as document creation wizards and the Base database application etc. can be enabled by adding jPortable, though this is optional and can be skipped if those functions are not needed. Alternatively, X-LibreOffice is also available.
Other available portable versions:
- Still - more tested and stable but with fewer features/capabilities
- Legacy - for WinXP/Vista users (unsupported)
The program is cross platform with versions available for Mac, Linux/BSD (comes default with most distros) and supports a variety of extensions.

Has some interesting features but so far I find I prefer PhotoDemon, which seems to have a few more filters and controls.

A simple operation of copy / paste a piece of an image is a nightmare.

@PapaiMark I am a bit shocked that you say it would be nightmare to copy / paste a piece of an image. I invite you to add an issue on the GitHub page of LazPaint to explain the problem you are encountering. You can also post suggestions of improvement there. |
