Portable apps no longer get monitored if moved from their download folder. This did not happen with previous versions.

Did you change the location in the config?

I had set it so it downloaded all the portable apps in a specific folder, then I could move them freely wherever I wanted. Patch my pc still tracked them and notified me of any update unless I clicked on the uninstall/remove button next to their icon on the main page. Now as soon as I move them out of their default folder, the program automatically stops monitoring them. Besides some apps like fancontrol portable, just to name one, are downloaded in a compressed folder and need to be decompressed in order to be used.

The program only registers the compressed folder, so as soon as it gets removed, the app is no longer monitored. I am not sure if this is inteded, but this would be a big downstep in that case.

We are going to look into this to see if we can repro it.
