Portable App Development

Hi there!

I'm new to the PortableApps forums but I have been using the website (and apps) for ages.

I don't know whether this has been posted before (or if this is even the right section ) but I wanted to share how you can very easily make an Eclipse portable app with the JDK.

Don't worry, I won't post a download link (that's technically illegal :D).

There are two ways:

1: Get a friend to get the JDK on his/her computer, copy over the files.
2: (The way we'll be doing) Get the compressed binaries direct from Oracle.

Here's how to do it:

Please provide search box for portableapps updater. so we can filter based on search and install applications.

I'm triing brutal chess portable.
It's fine, but I have problem of contrast black-backgroud and black chess pieces.

How to change background color?

Hi!

Today i cleaned up some old unused program files and I noticed that on my (old) system (Win XP, 32 bit) a folder from RawTherapee Portable is left behind in the Local Settings/Application Data directory.
Maybe you can fix that in a future version.

I'm trying to keep a clean system and avoid installations as much as possible but sometimes Ι encounter some necessary requirements that force installations of runtimes and 3rd parry drivers. Is there some way to implement those without installing them? For example the visual studio runtimes (vcredist_x64) is one i need right now.

hai,i am creating portable apps,i created 3 so far,but if i copy it to a new directory,then run it,the directorymove dosnt happen,instead,the main app recreates its settings on startup,so why this beahviour,if i run it from the same location,it works flawelessely.(it moves the data to and fro correctly)

outline=directory move gets broken if i change path(i.e the app is not portable)

Hello!

This my portable software:
http://www.languageindicator.com/

Language Indicator is a keyboard layout indicator. The program is freeware.
I will be happy to your suggestions, questions.

I'm trying the platform, and I was expecting substantial improvements in version 12 beta, then nothing.

If I can afford a few suggestions:

1) Adding configurations in the options menu:
 1a) StartMinimized = True
 1b) Similar to "RemainVisible = True" but with the option focus on (to be able to launch multiple applications in the foreground while maintaining the pitcher until you move out of it).
 1c) The list of applications that start automatically with the option to suspend them without deleting them from the list (example: dtaskmanagerportable \ dtaskmanagerportable.exe = 0)

This one guy posted in the forums asking to remove a prompt and I thought I'd comment out a few lines and post it for him.
