Release Notes:

• Beta 1(09JUN08)

over here http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2998 at the Portable Freeware Collection forums someone came with the idea of using Thinstall to make a program launcher so that all programs opened from it are run inside the sandbox... meaning instant portability of any application. Here's the original description:

Application: MenuLauncher

Description: MenuLauncher is a customisable replacement for startportableapps.exe. it can launch a menu, auto-detect if there is an open= entry in autorun.inf, check to see if there is an internet connection (and launch apps if there is), create shortcuts on the desktop and start menu, and launch an unlimited number of apps.

Application: CompareChecksum
Category: Utilities
Description: With CompareChecksum you can calculate checksums of files. Calculation starts automatically, if you select a file per dialog or if you drag and drop a file on the software-window.
By comparing the checksums of two files, you can determine, that a download via internet was not corrupted. At the same time you can check if the file was possibly targetted by a manipulation.

Application: Toucan
Category: Utilities

I've compiled a quick test of some functionality that's part of an upcoming platform release. Specifically, a listener that you can leave running on a local PC to automatically run a PortableApps.com Platform drive when it's inserted. It's a simple functionality test with a single form showing when it detects a new drive and if the platform is on it, at which point it will start it up. There's also a non-GUI version that will run in the background as long as Windows is running (you can kill it in Task Manager if you need to).
