Beta Testing

An update and a name change for AutoLauncher4U3.
Added an environment variable option.
This will set an environment variable to point to the drive letter of your usb drive.
You can use this in apps that don't support relative paths in ini or config files as well as shortcuts.
Also changed the name to reflect the app isn't just for U3 drives.
For "regular" USB drive set the autorun.inf to run autolauncher, it will set the environment variable and launch PAM or other apps.

New update, changed the name to App Launcher to avoid confusion.
Added two additional custom app fields.

For all you coders out there, I have come across config file in the NetBeans Directory (\NetBeans\etc\netbeans.config). In there the important parts read as follows:

# ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property
netbeans_default_userdir="[Your JVM user.home Path]"

# default location of J2SE JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome switch
netbeans_jdkhome="[Your JDK Path]"

Now here comes the important part:

Hi,

Following the suggestion of a board member, I have made
a portable version of an application of mine.

Getleft is a web site downloader, if you give it an URL it
will try download the complete site according to the options
you set.

It has some limitations though, as it won't download links
embed in JavaScript or Flash.

So far it is only a beta release, but if you would like to
try it out, you can download it at:

I've just posted a pre-release of Miranda IM Portable 0.6.3 for folks to test out. This new release:

- Updates Miranda to 0.6.3
- Adds Vista compatibility
- Packaged in PortableApps Format for easier integration with the Suite
- Improved support for Limited and Guest accounts
- Uses a new method to backup a local Miranda IM's registry settings - the launcher will rename the existing key and then rename it back, rather than saving it to disk. If there is a PC crash, simply running Miranda IM Portable again will restore the original key.

Hey everyone. This is my first portable app Launcher. I hope you enjoy.

Just Copy the Google Earth directory in to the app folder.

Xye is a puzzle game in which you have to get all the gems. The levels vary in difficulty and solving methods. It can also open and play sokoban files (.xsb)

When I got to portableApps.com today I really liked the way these things work, I was using U3 for a while but it didn't let me just add apps that are already portable and it also hides the folders and stuff.

I figured that I had to contribute with something and also Xye was in the portable philosophy for some time, It doesn't modiffy stuff outside its folder or touches the registry.

I've posted a pre-release of Gaim Portable 2.0 Beta 6. This updates Gaim to the new 2.0 Beta 6 release.

I have updated my 4 current released portable applications, basing them on the 0.9 version of the PAF (Portable Apps Format) that John used with the release of the PAM (Portable Apps Menu). Each has also been UPX'd to make them as small as possible. They are all ready for beta testing.

I have created XChat Portable and need people to test it. I used Sergio's Win32 XChat build using static GTK. Please post your comments. Grab it here: http://titanous.com/portableapps/XChat_Portable_2.6.8-3s.paf.exe

First, let me say I think you folks are doing an awesome job! I know Portable Apps and USB drives are going to be the next big thing, and the day of the bulky harddrive s will be gone like the floppy drive.

I have been beta testing MS Vista since its first release, and various bootable usb apps and operating systems.

I am interested in beta testing all Portable apps that you are all working on and can provide some great technical feedback to help get them ready for full production release quickly.
