Portable App Development

I downloaded the sources of PartableApps.com Platform and I know how to compile them.
When I compile the platform I have : "[Fatal Error] dialog.pas (7): File not found: 'pngimage.dcu' "

Hi everybody,

I really like the favorites function. Would it be possible to split the portable apps menu into a favorites area with 5 entries, scrolling possible, and a normal program area? It would be very helpful.

TeamViewer v5.1.9192 is out since 2010-09-21.

May I suggest some improvements to whoever currently develops the offical PA.c version?

The currently available version 5.1.9160 can leave traces in the host system's registry at:

HKCU\Software\Teamviewer\Version5.1\
HKLM\Software\Teamviewer\Version5.1\

Also, the "TeamViewer.ini" file is kept in three places:

App\DefaultData\settings\TeamViewer.ini
App\teamviewer\TeamViewer.ini
Data\settings\TeamViewer.ini

As I create the app using the installer I get an error:

...
SetDetailsPrint: both
DetailPrint: "$InstallingStatusString"
SetDetailsPrint: ListOnly
!insertmacro: _EndIf
!insertmacro: end of _EndIf
File: failed creating mmap of "..\..\NWM2011x64Portable.exe"
Error in script "G:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk 2011\Navisworks Manage 2011\Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi" on line 901 -- aborting creation process

Can anyone please help me with this I'm new to creating PortableApps?

Thanks.

Hey guys,

I have a few apps that require multiple launchers quite like has been done in open office and am wondering if the same is possible with the PAL?

I am aware that the launchers in OO.org are done straight from the NSIS code, but its worth a try asking isn't it?

Also, if it isn't possible, will it be implemented in future versions of the PAL?

Many thanks,

Shane Thompson

How can I do this? I have looked over the forums and haven't found solutions that work. I don't really know what I should post. I have come no closer to finding a solution by myself... So I am turning towards you guys.
Thanks,
Brian

I'm working on making FoFiX portable. For those that don't know, it's a massively more developed version of Frets on Fire, which is itself a Guitar Hero/Rock Band clone. I should be done by the end of this weekend.

Here is the first Development Version of FoFiX portable. http://www.sourceforge.com/projects/bassfz.u/files/FoFiXPortable_3.121_R...

I've tried my hand at developing full-fledged apps, with mixed success; I started DeskSkin, but stopped developing it because I found a far superior solution in my mind (Toolbox), and for Hugin Portable, I'm struggling with the PAL while waiting for a Windows build of their latest rev.
In the meantime, I've worked out some small tricks that I use to enhance the Platform, based on the extremely flexible ini approach of the PortableApps Format. I'm calling them MiniApps.

I've having issues getting a launcher for Dropbox to work properly. For some reason there are 3 dll files that become locked and will not allow the drive to be ejected. These dll files also make deleting the Dropbox folder in %APPDATA% impossible. Can someone take a look at this and help me out. I looked through the manual but I was unable to find information regarding this. I'm kind of a novice so it's probably something simple that I just don't know how to do yet. Any help would be appreciated.

When are file associations going to be available?
And protocol associations (celestia uses celurl's which have the form: cel:\\* )?

I'm asking this because there is nothing mentioned about it in the portableapps format specification:
