I Like It

I like it. Seems like it'll be a good addition. Worked well in my brief test. Didn't do a full reg check, etc on it yet, though. I will later. Let's get some other testers on this.

Live with purpose.

Thanks

Rab040ma pretty much did pretty much anything. It was my first app...
But it doesn't save to registry, by default it saves to the user profile folder.
They had a version that is standalone

The other night, I had a nightmare. I dreamt, that.... My dad, no I can't say it, HE INSTALLED VISTA ONTO MY PC!!!!!!!!!!!
Somebody give me a portable video editor... Please!

if you don't know-ee you should ASCII

The Regulars

Here's the regulars.

  • The appicon.ico should have the current sizes also in 256 color format.
  • You're missing App\Appinfo\appinfo.ini.
  • Rename Appinfo to AppInfo.
  • Missing App\Readme.txt.
  • Missing Other\Source\AppSource.txt.
  • Missing Other\Source\Readme.txt.
  • Add your copyright in the source.
  • Line 169 of the source, change the 100 to 0 as we're dropping fades on the splashes.
  • Lines 212 and 213 of the installer you have pre-install code for SumatraPDF Portable.
  • Add more info the the help.html, decapitalized the first letter of the tagline, and under TuxPaint Portable-Specific Issues add the four basic support topic bullets for all the apps here.
  • These lines:
    		IfFileExists "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\TuxPaintprefs.txt" "" RememberPath
    			${ReplaceInFile} "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\TuxPaint.cfg" 'File: $LASTDRIVE' 'File: $CURRENTDRIVE'
    			Delete "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\TuxPaintprefs.txt.old"
    

    Should they not all deal with TuxPaint.cfg, where's TuxPaintprefs.txt come from? And do you actually have to replace the drive letter? because I don't see anything.

I think that's it. John's right, this is a cool app, though I'm surprised he's never seen it. :) Good work. Also, update this post with the format stickied at the top of beta testing when you get a chance.

Signatures are like so overrated.

Not portable

It still creates an empty folder in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\ called TuxPaint.

Also, the configuration program should have a launcher too.

dot dot dot...

How can the config program have a launcher though?
Apparently that folder is empty, I'll take care of it.
