1 year ago Yeah it's a bug: something must have changed with later PortableApp releases.
Funnily enough - at least after running Update.bat - and after turning off read-only for all files before that - you can at least double-click the Obsidian-Portable.exe app from within Explorer and it actually runs.
So I went and installed the vanilla Obsidian which installs without Admin per User anyways for now..

[Control]
Start=ObsidianPortable.exeAlso you can add category to [Details] (Accessibility, Development, Office etc)

Confirmed this fixed the issue. I'm even testing this on a veracrypt volume for a fully-encrypted local notes packages, with syncthing plugged into the whole thing and it's perfect for an untrusted system!

1 year ago What version is this obsidian
I'm not sure if this is something that changing the app would help, but when I move the obsidian portable folder into the portable apps launcher folder obsidian shows up properly, but when I get the following error:
PortableApps.com Platform
Could not find: E:\PortableApps\ObsidianPortable[PAF Error - Missing Start].
OK
what's also interesting is that when I hover over the obsidian icon in the launcher it shows not the obsidianportable.exe file that it should be picking, but that it's trying to run "E:\PortableApps\ObsidianPortable[PAF Error - Missing Start" as the main executable. Renaming hasn't helped, nor has editing the PortableApps ini file to force it to pick the right exe.
