Based on my previous Test Release Comment Generator, I've updated its backend and added a Beta Testing post generator to my web tools. Both tools now use an INI file to store data.
Also, I wanted some feedback on the example launcher.ini I'm working on.

Source code (actually, my entire website's; code's at coffee/libs
and coffee/pages/pa.c_tools

Using any of the tools for the first time and creating WebTools.ini
- Select the
AppInfo.ini
file of the application you want to generate the text for. - Fill the missing fields.
- Click Submit. A text area will appear.
- Follow the instructions in the page.
- To export the data you've filled: click Export INI file or right-click and save it.
Updating WebTools.ini
- Upload
WebTools.ini
. - Upload
AppInfo.ini
. This will update some fields. Now you can update the others, if necessary. - Click Submit and save
WebTools.ini
. If you use Notepad++ with the Notepad# plugin, you can also open yourWebTools.ini
, paste the link in Export INI file into it, delete the;charset=UTF-8
string and then use Plugins → Notepad# → URLdecode selection.

2011-08-29: Hmm... it seems that I forgot to update some paths. Sorry :-S
2011-08-30: Rewrote the backend. Incompatible with previous versions.
2011-08-31: Added HOWTO.

Diff allowing for PartialPath changing: http://kalug.net/p/1010/
You need to do the partialpath as 1 and then the drive letter as 2. And have the partial path include the drive letter. We do this in other apps. Otherwise you can replace something inadvertently elsewhere in the file if the user moves the app from, say "X:\Settings\" to "X:\AppName\"
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I have updated it as such: http://kalug.net/p/1011/
Please stop using my pastebin; it won't survive the next DNS renewal. I stopped using it because it doesn't have syntax highlighting for CoffeeScript.
I suggest Dumpz.org instead; it does have some cool features.

We use pastebin.com for all PA.c-related stuff. It supports NSIS unlike Dumpz. It even supports CoffeScript.

Anyway, I just found that CoffeScript is supported by the backend (GeSHi); it's just not enabled in the UI (this one seems to be outdated). So, I'll just migrate it to the new server and stop using Dumpz.
EDIT: fresh install at http://nidhogg.kalug.net/p/ (and soon at kalug.net/p/ and p.kalug.net too).

I added examples for Registry handling and language switching. Comments, please (specially on the wording).
