Okay, for my first app, I chose an easy one. TimeTracker is an application usage and uptime tracking app. The only settings that it has is an .ini, so this is just basically PAFed so that the .ini is in the \Data directory. The launcher is based off of John's PNotes launcher. Anyway, if you need a more detailed explanation, see the official site:

TimeTracker Portable Pre-Release 6 Download
The portable version, along with the official version, is released under the GPL v.2.
New in Pre-Release 6
- Added help.html
To-do
- Absolutely, positively nothing
You left the <em> tag unclosed
VIAddVersionKey LegalCopyright "John T. Haller"
should beVIAddVersionKey LegalCopyright "PortableApps.com and contributors"
.Icon "timetracker.ico"
should be changed back toIcon "${NAME}.ico"
and the actual icon renamed to TimeTrackerPortable.icoThe splash doesn't work, because you are renaming the PNG file to a JPG file on line 185 (
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg "splash.png"
). The best thing to do would be to change it back toFile /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\splash.jpg "${NAME}.jpg"
and create a JPEG file called TimeTrackerPortable.jpgYou are also basing the launcher on an old version of the code, 1.2.2.0, whereas the latest doesn't have as many INI entries, is smaller and is up to version 1.5.1.0
To remove the registry stuff (assuming TT doesn't use the registry), delete the following lines:
And also:
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
I'm still learning, and only understand very little. Oh, and thanks for the tag :tongue:. I'll rewrite the launcher tonight. Thanks again.

It`s looking alright, here`s a download for you, here
I set you up an account with a web file manager so you can login and upload future releases yourself, check your whateverglobal account for more details.
Ok, now don`t get annoyed with the following things I`ll point out, they`re only to help.
So, sorry for all those tiny details, but they get you closed to being official. So yeah, I suggest the PNotes launcher that JOHN did. It`ll be MUCH easier for what you need I think.
Like I said to Ryan, I'm still learning. This is exactly why we keep the source open :).

Should be http://nascent-project.org/kevinporter/portableapps/TimeTrackerPortable....
I took the caps out of the directory name because it's best not to have caps in URLS.
Capitals are fine, but spaces are bad.
Also, you should always include the version number in the name, like TimeTrackerPortable_3.1.4.2_PRERELEASE3.paf.exe
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Little things make the difference, now. I'll fix that.

KevinPorter and kevinporter are completely diff places, so are PortableApps and portableapps, and it's easier and more generic with lowercase. That's why I said in the directory name, not the file name.
Figured that one out myself :tongue:.

You can set the server to set both to the same place.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Sure, but that requires more work. :|
Can we let this go?

Guess I should have checked that :lol:.

I noticed though is in my menu (I'm using PAM 1.1 beta 4) it shows up as TimeTracker Portable Portable.
The other thing (and a very minor thing by the way), but I like it with transparency set to zero.
Yeah, I guess that most users would expect zero transparency. Thanks. And that would most likely be something I can fix with ResHack. PR4 should be up within the next few minutes to half and hour.
EDIT:
Okay, figured out the problem. Must've been something in PR2, as that was the release that was linked (linking error :)), but it is fixed in PR3 and PR4.

Easiest thing in the world. Open help.html in KompoZer, edit the version numbers, change the names, tagline, and description, and double click on links to change their paths. What'd you think KompoZer was for?
html.html?
Also, everyone in the world is smarter than a Canadian fifth grader (or just a Canadian for that matter) and you aren't a moderator
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Sure, html.html. Wow, 'bout time noticed my sig...it's been there for like two weeks. Have you not heard of the new show Colin Mochrie's hosting.
I thought since this was the right time to take the topic off-topic
And no.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
I can't guarantee a good description, though.

You forgot the 'Help' folder from Firefox Portable's 'Other' directory, so your help is missing any images.
Oh and there's 1 typo, 'Firefox Portable-Specific Issues'. And Readme.txt doesn't exist. (you linked it in the help.html)
Other than that you pass.
I'll fix that. Thanks.
