oOOH
I think there should be a way to include 7z in the package then use the commandline interface with exec to extract it. Then use gnuwget to download it, then clean everything up. Or at least it should work...
.
Anyway, great app

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!
Yeah that could be
wraithdu - March 19, 2008 - 9:21amYeah that could be done....but it's a lot of work
Plus I'm a *little* funny on automating a process like that for a freeware app that I don't have permission to redistribute. Just seems more considerate to ask the user to download directly from the author's website. Not to mention I'd have to re-release the launcher each time a new Unlocker version was released, since the filename keeps changing...
Then in that case
just tell the user to put it in the same directory as the installer to extract

Unlocker?
Stevoisiak - March 19, 2008 - 10:30amWhat does unlocker do?

It unlocks folders and files you cant move/delete cause an App is still "using" them. Sometimes explorer locks files and Unlocker unlocks them.

Ok
Stevoisiak - March 19, 2008 - 11:57amThat sounds interestion.
Yeah, I guess I figured
wraithdu - March 19, 2008 - 1:45pmYeah, I guess I figured everyone would just know what it was, it's pretty popular. Either way the link's in the first post in the instructions part.
Re: the missing shell extension...it's probably an issue of admin rights. I don't think you can register DLLs and such on a non-admin account. This was one of the things I wanted people to test for me. If it's not going to work on a non-admin account, I'll restrict the launcher to only run if the user has admin privs.
**UPDATE**
wraithdu - March 24, 2008 - 1:05pmUpdated to 1.0.0.7. See first post.
Paf
Stevoisiak - April 2, 2008 - 8:22amCan this be put in PAF.EXE format as practilcly every app and some launchers have been?
Nope,
someoneabc (Homepage) - April 3, 2008 - 12:02amIt's a freeware app, not open-source/gpl.
I think everyone knows
wraithdu - April 3, 2008 - 12:40amI think everyone knows that...but the launcher can still be packaged and distributed in a .paf friendly format.
You'll see, gimme a few days (maybe tomorrow).
pre release?
you need 2 dev test dont you
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
I was doing a quick
wraithdu - April 2, 2008 - 10:55pmI was doing a quick pre-release to see if it worked for everyone and if people were interested. If so (and it seems so), I was gonna .paf it and upgrade to a Dev Test. I'll get to it tomorrow sometime maybe. I have a few other things I'm working on too.
Oh, I'm interested
Let me know when you get a PAF working, and I'll help troubleshoot.
Not related to Unlocker
ZachHudock - April 3, 2008 - 7:43pmNot related to Unlocker Portable, but related to the discussion about naming...John had also said that launcher-only packages should not be marked as Dev Test

wraithdu - April 4, 2008 - 12:47amOk....so just leave it as Unlocker Portable 1.0.0.7 then?
What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet...
PAF format error
Stevoisiak - April 4, 2008 - 11:30amThe launcher isn't in PAF format. In the root of the app, there are 2 folders. App, and source. It should be App, data, and other. This is actually the ONLY app OR launcher I have seen that does not follow this format, even the old, but not obsolete, Project 64 launcher follows it.
Relax, I'm aware. It's a
wraithdu - April 4, 2008 - 1:20pmRelax, I'm aware. It's a zip file too. I put it out there to bugtest and didn't feel like doing all the PAF work at the time. I'm getting to it.
Ok.
Stevoisiak - April 7, 2008 - 11:28amAlso, if you want the folders to be preset in PAF format for you, look at this. http://portableapps.com/node/12314 The folders are preset in the format for you.
I appreciate the
wraithdu - April 7, 2008 - 11:56amI appreciate the suggestions.
But this isn't my first app (cdrtfe, EDT). I've got it under control, thanks.

I put all the files in but it did not work for me.

Wraithdu: Trying for the
RogerL - April 9, 2008 - 5:05amWraithdu: Trying for the first time after following your instructions above for installing 1.0.0.7. Opened a file with SciTE, so it should be in-use/locked. Went to Windows Explorer, navigated to the file, highlighted it, pressed the delete key and a dialogue appeared as though I had held the shift key down, i.e. it wasn't going to the recycle bin. Pressing yes caused the file to be really deleted. So somehow Unlocker had removed the lock AND cleared the go-to-recycle-bin flag (wherever it is)!
Tried again with another file, this time opend with notepad. Right clicked file in explorer, selected the Unlocker entry in the menu, and it said "No locking handle found" which can't be right as Notepad has it open?
Not sure I undestand what's going on (or how to reinstate the delete to recycle bin default action)

Unlocker doesn't do anything
wraithdu - April 9, 2008 - 11:12amUnlocker doesn't do anything to the delete to recycle bin command. Were these files on your USB drive? If so, the USB drive doesn't have a recycle bin, and the option to delete to the recycle bin will never appear.
Second, opening a file in notepad/scite will not cause the file to be locked. It's only opened for read/write access, which is not quite the same. To see an example of locking handles, right click on ntdll.dll in your C:\Windows\System32 directory. I REALLY WOULDN'T try unlocking that file though
Oh, and sometimes I've had files/folders that I can't delete through windows explorer, that when opened in Unlocker don't show any locking handles. But if I choose Delete from the dropdown and click OK, the file/folder will be deleted.
yes, silly me, I knew that
RogerL - April 9, 2008 - 1:17pmyes, silly me, I knew that (USB drives don't have a recycle bin), just having a senior moment, sorry to waste your time on the answer!
Thanks for the ntdll.dll example... it was nice to see unlocker 'working' which I had failed to do.
The reason I was interested in trying unlocker is because I have often found files that wouldn't delete without knowing what app had locked them and then not unlocked them when finished. I wll try your suggestion of Deleting from the dropdown next time... is this with unlocker running or without?

The dropdown is in the
wraithdu - April 9, 2008 - 1:43pmThe dropdown is in the Unlocker window that displays the locking handles or says none found. You choose delete (or another option) before clicking OK. I'm still not sure why this works even if no locking handles are displayed, but it does!
One question. Why does the
ZachHudock - April 9, 2008 - 9:13amOne question. Why does the version number in the topic say 1.0.0.7 if Unlocker is at 1.8.6?
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
It's the version number of
wraithdu - April 9, 2008 - 11:10amIt's the version number of the launcher. Since it's not open source and I can't include the binary, it seemed pointless and silly to put that version number to the launcher. What, would I re-release the exact same package when a new version of Unlocker is released and just change the name? LOL, no thanks
