@davidbcohen Well, sometimes I leave the house with one external drive, sometimes with another, other copies I keep on-device but only a handful of them. It's just about options and choices. PortableApps itself is what we're talking about, and that is what I want to keep up to date.
IE: If I update LibreOffice, Zoom, Chrome and Firefox on drive e, then I have to run the updater for F and go through the exact same steps. My script sees what's new, what's old and syncs the differences from a list of configured paths. It's really useful.
It's also that I have different drives for different purposes. If I'm going to fix a client's PC I don't want my personal drive connected to it, rather my disposable option. things like that.
