I'm taking the unusual step of doing a pre-release for this new Firefox release. This is primarily because I've been so under the weather this week so I wasn't able to get the test out with BUILD1 of 3.0.1 on Sunday/Monday. I'm still far from 100% so having some folks test before release would be much appreciated. Especially in light of the new features.

InkscapePortable - First try at NSIS

Submitted by krTsukasa on July 15, 2008 - 4:39pm

Ok, before anyone says this, I know that InkscapePortable is already in delopment.

A few days ago, I decided to try my hand at learning some NSIS. When I was looking through my PortableApps folder, I discovered that the current version of InkscapePortable is written in au3, and decided that it would be the perfect candidate (that and the fact that, being a Linux program originally, it doesn't use the registry).

Well, here's what I got:

InkscapePortable.exe (Self-Extracting 7-Zip)

Will someone use LZMA soon?

Submitted by CeremCem on July 14, 2008 - 6:41pm

Hi,

I'm using Slax, but sometimes I need Windows, so I also use (or create) portable apps .

Slax uses modules, which are simply compressed files with LZMA algorithm. The modules are used without extraction, directly reading is supported.

I don't know how to read directly but if someone interests, I guess it won't be such a hard job...
