Release Notes:
Development Test 2 (2008-03-23):
- fixed add copyright of myself to NSI files
- added readme.txt into source directory
- AppInfo.ini "Anse" --> "HeidiSQL Team" since it's a multi-developer project
- Appicon.ico : from 24bits only --> 32bit and 8bit formats only
- changed AppSource.txt to refer to help.html
- changed tagline and support stuff in help.html
Development Test 1 (2008-03-22):
- Initial Release
- Packed with UPX nrv2e
- Supports backing up of settings if HeidiSQL is already installed locally
- Supports multiple launches
- Default .SQL snippets that come with HeidiSQL installation are part of DefaultData and created on first launch if not exist in data directory
- For Snippets support, program requires Power User privileges because it writes to ALL USERS's Application Data folder. I checked the code, and it's not an environment variable call, but an API call to get shell folder, which I don't know howto intercept from the NSI (if even possible)
Self-blurb: This is my first foray into creating a PortableApp that conforms to the PortableApps.com format. Having no experience in NSIS scripts, I'd say this took a lot longer than I thought.
I have tried to get it as perfect as possible in this first devtest build. I've read a lot of posts by John, Patrick, Ryan, and other moderators and testers about what is needed.
But, since this is still my first PortableApp, please post all the comments about the nsi script or anything else for that matter 
Ryan has offerred to host the setup files! Yipee! Currently using rapidhsare as we work out the kinks
Thanks!

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Taking a look at it, I noticed these:
;Copyright (C) 2008 sylikcunderneath John's copyright up the top. Might be better to use your real name.The rest all looks good! Great job.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Haven't seen you in awhile- where ya been?
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
Lol, I don't know what to do with this since there hasn't been any new versions. Maybe I should post on the pre-release list.
Job well done trying yo find all the format specifications and using the posting format etc, as spewed around the forums as they are. There are, as there always are even for my apps those small things everyone missed a few of.
That's all. It may look like a lot, but I'm just ridiculously picky. Thanks again for using the post format and finding any specifications you could, and good app choice!
My post was better
Also, names should be left in the CompanyName.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Yours Wasn't left for WinMerge. And me and John talked about in, and I think we're just gonna remove 'em.
Thanks a bunch, to both of you. Boy you guys are really hawks!!!
Ryan,
Thanks for offering to host my PortableApp. Unfortunately, I tried posting to your contact form and got some 405 Method Not Allowed message:
Patrick what do you mean by...
which link exactly, there's one for "Learn more about HeidiSQL..."
I'm working on rolling the changes into DevTest2
Dang... PortableApps development's actually a lot of work
Now I really appreciate how john cranked out the first series of apps so quickly!

Some of the Other\Source\Readme.txt's show outdated setups under INSTALLATION \ DIRECTORY STRUCTURE, make sure it shows only one. (the first one if there's multiple). Don't worry about the second thing I said, I was tired.
I'll have to check that out.
In the mean time, contact me at ryanmccue at cubegames.net
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Dev Test 2 is up.
Thank our veteran testers for some serious nitpick work

He's mine, all mine!

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
lol... thanks Ryan!
The contact form should be working again now. Send me an email and I'll give you your FTP details
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Still error. Did it work when you tested it?
Just use my hosting. Personal directory, FTP and web-based logins, and e-mail statistics.
Contact
*runs from Ryan and hides under table*
I have all of those too and I can give an email address if needed
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Email me at ryanmccue at cubegames.net then.
Edit: Just tried it then. It's working fine for me.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
So... just wondering,
When do Dev-Test releases become betas?
When do Betas become Pre-Releases?
It's great that HeidiSQL doesn't have weekly releases that I'd have to update to, but it also means that this thread is sinking to the bottom of the abyss. ::roll::
They just kinda go from Development Test to Pre-Release when John feels they're ready and has time.
If things keep up the way they are going, I might not need carry a laptop with me wherever I go...
It'll be plug n play with the USB...
Thanks Guy (or) Gurl for packaging this...
Guy it is. Anyway, your welcome. I use this almost daily for both work and school. Any other useful OSS IT tools you want to see packaged that aren't already done here?
hello, i think once we have to take a look on this sqlyog . Great tool can help you to manage your databases. runs on widows and also wine. more stable and improved grids and all other gui's. highly recommendable with great features.
Martin,
It is unfortunate that the tool isn't freeware, much less OSS. I'd have to check it out though, see what else it has to offer
/sylikc
I couldn't find the thread that talked about turning into Pre-Release status, but if there aren't any issues, is this ready for Pre-Release?
/sylikc
I'm thinking of packaging the 4.0 RC one later. But since it's in RC, it can't go official ...
But anyone been playing around with this? MySQL fans?
/sylikc
Just EXACTLY what I needed, when I needed it. Great work!
Um, but as an end user, not a programmer of any ability, I am poised to wonder; Why is this pre-release? Installed and worked 100%, does not have any typical goofyness that I was expecting of a pre-release. I have had zero problems so far.
Sorry to ask a really basic question. I've got an existing HeidiSQL install and have exported the settings. Can I just rename the .reg file and drop it in the Data/settings folder? I did try to do an import, but got freaked out by the Registry Editor window asking whether I wanted to add information to the registry. I'm guessing it would not have actually affected the registry, just the Data/settings file, but lost my nerve. Many thanks.
Any advice on the above? Where's everyone gone?
Many thanks
