Creating A Portable App: A Guerilla Field Guide OliverK
 Introduction:Often, somebody will make a post asking for help. I wrote up a guide real quick for this poster, here. After a suggestion by r-andom, I re-posted as a forum topic. If you have a suggestion for the guide, post here. If you need help portablizing, make a new post in the Portable App Development Forum. So, without much more text, I loose the gorilla. . .

Apps Ready For Official Release, Post Here John T. Haller
  Note: This topic was originally retired but has been revived and we've been having developers pickup and revise some older apps that never made it to release. We're working on the newer postings quicker, but the old ones are getting picked off one by one as well. If you've created an app that is currently posted as a Development Test and the following apply:

Forum Guidelines (Portable App Development)John T. Haller
The portable app development forum is for all development discussion related to portable apps. Feel free to ask questions on adapting the standard PortableApps NSIS-based launchers used with Portable Firefox, etc with other apps. Or with help working on any portable development project you wish. You'll find more portable apps developers here than anywhere else, so, for most questions, either someone will know outright or at least be able to point you in the right direction. »

[Closed] PAL: Custom Code errorGord Caswell
I'm in the process of fixing bug #26187, but keep having an issue with some custom code I'm adding to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Here is what I have so far, and here is the last few lines from the generator log. I can't figure out what macro I'm defining here. Note that I've tried with both Rename, and with the sections commented out, and both produce the same error. ( categories: )
MySQL Workbench Portable.scriptdaemon
I've been thinking about releasing a portable package for MySQL Workbench, but I'm concerned on licensing. While the community edition is GPL, I'm unsure if there would be a problem with the 'MySQL' name and the fact that Oracle owns it. Any thoughts? ( categories: )
Smart Defrag 2.4 Issues Pyromaniac
Well, 2 actually... For starters, it's creating a file in "...\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\RANDOMFOLDERNAME\isd2update[1].upt," and judging by the filename is pretty traceable. Also, I was looking through the options, and studying them more carefully, and it seems to me that a little ignorance on the user's part can make the app less portable (running on startup, of course, but also allowing the user to set boottime defrag, and allowing the user to shut down the computer automatically when defragmenting is over...)

multi-launcher with PAL?dansmith65 - May 11, 2012 - 4:58am
I'm wondering if it's possible to create a launcher for an app with multiple executables, similar to OpenOffice.org, but using the PortableApps.com Launcher? The appinfo.ini file has support for multiple executables, but where is the counterpart in the launcher.ini? Is there one? Or does this have to be done with Custom code? ( categories: )
Java apps requiring a specific version - is it worthwhile adding version testing to the launcher?winterblood (Homepage)
- May 2, 2012 - 9:00pm
I'm not sure how widespread this issue may be, so I thought I would just throw the idea/issue out there and see whether anyone thinks it is worth spending time on. Basically the problem is that Java apps will break if they require Java 7 but jPortable 6 is installed, even when a local install of Java 7 exists. ( categories: )
Some Help on Google Chrome Laucher Source Code Needed Jhonn - April 30, 2012 - 11:56pm
Well, recently I lost my old thumb drive, so I got a new one... The problem is that my new drive it's really slow compared with my older device, and Google Chrome delays about 3 minutes to start... Using RunLocally on the INI make it run smoother, however, when I close Google Chrome Portable, the portable launcher remain open for about 3 minutes or more to copy the profile back... However, after some tests I figured that if I compress the profile folder before moving it back, the laucher closes in about 5 seconds (so I think that my drive get slow only when copying a large amount of small files, merging them on a single file makes the copy really fast)...
