Nvu and it's endSubmitted by sniffass on January 21, 2006 - 10:47am.
I started using portable nvu to create a new website I was working on, but hit some bugs in the program which put me off it. After chasing some leads down on the internet it seems like there has been no interest in the nvu project from the developers since the middle of last year. If ony an updated version could be released I think this could possibly be one of the most powerful portable apps that could exist. The power of dreamweaver on a stick, oh so good. Having learned nvu pretty thoroughly I can say it really could be so powerful. I really don't have any clue how to write a program myseld so I will have to leave it to others, all I can do is say that I really hope the dev will continue so one day soon I can be runnind nvu 1.5 off my flashdrive while I update my website at my gf's house. John, I really hope you can bring another release of this program to the community. All my support in the continuing dev of portable apps, this site has got to be the end of the rainbow as far as quality programming is concerned, it brings the best of open source together in one place and then takes the one-last step in optimization. True portability. Gabe ( categories: )

Good point -- but John only

NVU is only an adaptation !!!
Yomega_Killer - March 8, 2006 - 5:13amNVU is only an adaptation of the composer you can find in the mozilla suite !!! this is why there is so few updates => wait till the next release of Mozilla (aka SeaMonkey now)
Portable Composer, then?
Since Nvu is no longer under dev, then could Composer then be made into a portable app? I know it's bound to the Mozilla suite, but since John's now working more closely with the Mozilla devs, maybe he can finagle a stand-alone version of Composer from them that he can "work his magic" on.

Angel Blue01 (Homepage) - July 29, 2006 - 4:02pmI dont think that's possible, but I've certainy like it.
I have no need for Seamonkey, but i use NVU (despite its bugs) heavily.
I think you're wrong
Goolic - October 4, 2006 - 8:37pmNVU is based on Composer but has none of it's (outdated code)
glazman.org/weblog (creator of NVU)
Is making a "Composer 2" with brand new code and long life !
The www.kompozer.net is a bug-correction-only release of NVU
A third-party spinoff of NVU
Angel Blue01 (Homepage) - July 29, 2006 - 4:15pmWhile we wait for NVU to be updated, someone has made a spinoff called Kompozer which fixes many of NVU's bugs. Maybe John could make a portable version of this. But its only a beta.
http://kompozer.net/
there already is one
jordoex - January 27, 2007 - 8:23pmA guy already made a portable version, but apparantly it was only in german and the download link's broken.
A little necro, but I have
Twar3Draconis (Homepage) - February 8, 2007 - 9:42pmA little necro, but I have been able to code a launcher for KompoZer. It's structure is much like NVU, thus you can use the NVU Launcher's source with a small modification by changing the references to NVU into Kompozer.
You should be able to create a kompozer folder in the Apps directory, and pull settings if you have already run it on your computer.
It uses portable apps code, and some editted portable apps stuff. I won't upload it unless I have John's permission.
Is there interest?
I actually prepped one for release alongside Nvu Portable for today but decided against it since it appears that Kompozer is now a dead project.
Live with purpose.
I could say the same for
Twar3Draconis (Homepage) - February 9, 2007 - 10:48amI could say the same for NVU. Their forum's database is long gone and the project has not seen any updates to fix anything.
True, but
True, but it's still being used by quite a few folks. I was hoping Kompozer would be maintained until the new Composer2 was completed.

What's Composer2?
Jonathan - February 10, 2007 - 2:02amWhat's Composer2?
The composer component of
Twar3Draconis (Homepage) - February 10, 2007 - 4:09pmThe composer component of the Mozilla Suite, which I believe is now SeaMonkey.
Composer 2
Composer 2 is planned to be a standalone web editing package based on the most recent gecko engine releases. It's being worked on by the same guy that did Nvu. It's essentially Nvu 2.... similar functionality, using the latest rendering bits (like Firefox 2 and Thunderbird 2).
Live with purpose.
Composer 2 PE?
Do you have any plans to make a portable version of Composer 2 then, John?

Of course
Once it's released it's going up here.

sure there's some interest over here!
zkee - February 21, 2007 - 9:36amI'd love to see a Kompozer Portable to feature in my portableapps usb stick
still using N-Vu portable at the moment, but since Kompozer 0.77 is "newer" than N-vu 1.0, i'd prefer the first.
if you could pull this trick, that'd be great! thanks!
cheers

Same link, but it has now
Twar3Draconis (Homepage) - February 24, 2007 - 10:25pmSame link, but it has now been updated to reflect changings in the core NVU Portable Launcher. Special thanks to Lunar Plague (magicmax902) for compiling it on Vista so that we could have that compatibility.
