Installer

I made you an installer. I had to change some names and redo the appicon.ico (just resolutions) so that it would work with the installer. Take it if you like it! Installer Download

looks great but...

when i run it it freezes at
"checking for Portableapps Platform"
also could you store the ini file it creates into the "Other" dir
please also remove this download because it has the copyrighted icon

What icon?

What copyrighted icon? If you are talking about John's icon, then it is okay. You can use his banner in installers as long as the installer mentions the copyright as "PortableApps.com and contributors." If you are talking about your icon, then you are violating the GNU GPL, as part of the icon comes from Command Prompt Portable, which uses a GPLed icon. I'll take a look into the freezing, as I've never even seen that page before. I will leave the download up until the copyright violation is verified.

EDIT:
I looked and saw that it did freeze, and will hopefully update the installer today.

icon problem

http://www.iconbuffet.com/tags/ninja
well the actual ninja icon is the from that site
the terms state that we cannot "change, modify or redistribute" this icon
we have done all three by using it,
i found another icon which is open source, so i guess i will have to say that the icons are form command prompt portable and this other site.

Okay.

Thank you for the clarification. I'll bring the download down. Please let me know when you can get me the new icon, and I'll update the installer with the new icon and the freezing problem fixed.

i changed it and the updated download is up
thanks by the way for making the NSIS script
once again could you change

	CreateDirectory "$INSTDIR\Data\settings"
	WriteINIStr "$INSTDIR\Data\settings\NinjaCommandPromptPortableSettings.ini" "NinjaCommandPromptPortableSettings" "AgreedToLicense" "YES"

	CreateDirectory "$INSTDIR\Other\settings"
	WriteINIStr "$INSTDIR\Other\settings\NinjaCommandPromptPortableSettings.ini" "NinjaCommandPromptPortableSettings" "AgreedToLicense" "YES"

also how do you set the NSIS up so it will create the installer
i tried it and it did not work, any help would be great
figured it out
used your code for the installer
read the help files (who knew they would help )
once again
thanks

Just make sure

Just make sure you don't use someone's copyrighted icon. We might want to distribute this program without getting someone into trouble.

Besides, you can probably come up with a better icon than the one in notepad.exe

I was thinking about the icon...

.. And how it is seen when this app is in Ninja mode. If it is trying to look like a notepad app, shouldn't it have something that actually looks like a notepad icon? (Like the one Microsoft Notepad has, not Portable Notepad.)

Is tab filename completion a possibility in Notepad mode? Or maybe I'm just not trying it right.

How about closing on the exit command?

unavoidable

i think that it is unavoidable because the code first takes what you input as a string then puts it launches the command prompt and inputs the command into it
unless someone knows a different way i think it unavoidable.

Ok, in Ninja mode how about changing drive, like when you type

to go to the K: drive? It responds like it is working, but doesn't appear to be. Or maybe it is the

by itself that is showing me the wrong thing?

Could it be that the system call you are using is able to do executables, but not the built in commands? Or maybe it is doing those things in a shell that exits and loses the change?

i will have to make a change

because it still will look in the same directory
i guess i could ask it to look in a file first to check if a command exists then execute it, however nothing is going to happen until the icon prob is solved
i dont want you or myself to get into trouble

Oops...

I read the User Agreement for the site I got that icon from (I need to learn to read them more often). The icon that I gave you is not supposed to be redistributed. I am sorry I didn't read the agreement before I sent it to you, Powerjuce.

found a bug. in ninja mode

found a bug. in ninja mode you check to see if the first charicter is a p, thats bad practice you should use strcmp. im fixin it. the problem is when you type anything beginning with a p it goes into panic mode. eg path or prompt $p$g.

#include    // For access().
#include   // For stat().
#include    // For stat().
#include

using namespace std;
int command();

//    if (PathExits("Data")==false)
    if (checkpath("Data")==false)
    {
    system("md Data");
    system("copy App\\DefaultData\\* Data");
    }
    else
    {
    system("cls");
    }
    system("Data\\autorun");
    getmode();
}
bool checkpath(string strPath)
{
    if ( access( strPath.c_str(), 0 ) == 0 )
    {
        struct stat status;
        stat( strPath.c_str(), &status );

        if ( status.st_mode & S_IFDIR )
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}
int command()
{
    char str(80);
    char str2(112);
    char cmd[1024];
    cout>choice;
    if (choice == 1) {
       system("title Command Prompt");
       system("cls");
       system("cmd.exe");
       }
    else if (choice == 2) {
         system("@echo off");
         system("color F0");
         system("title Untitled - Notepad");
         system("@echo on");
         system("cls");

         command();
         }

I know that this is really insignificant, but I was thinking that in a future release, you might want to delete the Thumbs.db file located at: NinjaCommandPromptPortable\App\AppInfo

Just to make it more sleek and ninja-like.

fyi theres an unused function in there, command. you can take it out if you so wish.

the thing is while under regular mode the only functions we can give the user must be external :S... its fine if there are multiple bats in the folder but may be confusing.

good. i got an idea here. since external files is imperative, we do what is always done in that situation with a portable app, store the real app in the data folder and only have a launcher in the main folder! then external files will be used but not seen

kinda like a ninja... or santa! or me

Could you not use the launcher to make NCP "Start in" ..\..\Data , while the .exe itself is in the App folder? That would conform to the PAP right?

Seriously, it might be good to try to localize it.

The things that need

The things that need changing are the title bar, the little menu when it first starts ("1 or 2", plus the description) and any help files.

A quick and easy way to do it would be to tell the user to change the .bat files to comply with their own language. Then all you'd have to do is figure out what to put on the title bar for the Ninja mode. That could be read from a file too, e.g. an .ini file.

I'd expect that one would prefer to have the choice of language belong to the portable app, rather than the host computer; that is, if you're from Quebec and running the program in an Internet Cafe in Mexico, you'd want the French/Quebec prompts on the screen rather than the Spanish/Mexican, but if you are in a school classroom in Mexico you would want to be able to choose the Spanish/Mexican appearance of Notepad in spite of running OOo in French. So reading the language from the machine's registry doesn't sound like a good option.

Is there a place in the Portable Apps setup where a language preference can be made that can be passed along as a default to the apps PAM runs?

Otherwise, just collect sample bat files for each language, in a "sample/[lang]" directory, and let people do what they want. It is a command prompt, after all. Or set up the different language versions of the batch files in standard directories and have the preference directory specified in the ini file.

sounds good

so if anyone can send me the new batches that would be cool
i or Tristiano77 will be starting the wrapper
the language you want will be chosen by the language in the installer
or depending on how many different languages i get can be manually selected at the beginning of the program.
this version will be a beta and when it is up it will be in the sourceforge site.
so please send the text for the batch files!!!

My understanding is that you

My understanding is that you should use generic or your own custom icons for testing and beta versions until it is clear whether it is going to be accepted under the PA umbrella. That goes for the splash screen in the installer too. If John says it's ok, then it should be just a few keystrokes to put in the "official" icons and splash screen. Otherwise just say "compatible with PortableApps.com format" and use your own graphics.

I'm not sure which icon you're talking about. Copyright aside, I'd prefer to have my icons unique for each application. If an icon is associated with CommandPromptPortable, it would probably be a good idea to associate a different icon with NinjaCommandPortable.

It does look like the 16x16 icon is radically different from the 32x32 icon, but I don't see that either looks much like the CommandPromptPortable icons. Maybe I have a different version?

well it was not meant to be

i drew out a small cmd window of so i could put it into the .ico file (so it could be NinjaCommandPromptPortable )
however when i looked at the commandprompt portable it looked a lot like it
so i still gave John the credit
Also the 16x16 is meant to look different because it is supposed to look like a notepad icon so that the notepad mode looks like notepad mode

Most of the stuff is in the

Most of the stuff is in the two .bat files that exist currently.

But I think you'll have to wait until the developers decide how they are going to handle getting the different language titles into the Ninja (Notepad) title bar.

The bat files are pretty simple:

::Command Prompt in disguise as notepad,
::your welcome.
@echo off
cls
color 0A
title Ninja Command 1.0
echo        [--------Ninja Command 1.0---------]
echo        [ Made by Tristiano77              ]
echo        [ press 1 for standard mode        ]
echo        [ press 2 for notepad mode         ]
echo        [----------------------------------]
@echo on

the p.bat file is a quote from an essay on Shakespeare. The task there would be to find an appropriate brief essay or paragraph in the target language and put it into the p.bat file, copying the format.

echo        [ press 2 for notepad mode         ]
echo        [----------------------------------]
@echo on

i guess only the stuff in bold needs to be translated since that is all that displays
also
this right here

A Midsummer Nights Dream
In Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" the mortal teenage characters fall in love foolishly, and the character Bottom states, "O what fools these mortals be". They are foolish because they act like children. Although Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius, and Helena appear grown-up, when they are in love they act foolishly. The four teenage lovers are fools.
Demetrius is a fool because he is unaware that his love changes through out the play. At the start of the play Demetrius does not love Helena. (II ii,line 188) Demetrius says, "I love thee not, therefore pursue me not." (II ii,line 194) "Hence, get thee gone, and follow me no more." In III ii, Demetrius after being juiced begins to love Helena. (III ii,line 169-173) Demetrius says, "Lysander, keep thy Hermia; I will none. If e'er I loved her, all that love is gone. My heart to her but as guest- wise sojourned, And now to Helen is it home returned, There to remain." This proves he is a fool, because he is not aware of his changing love for Helena.
Helena is a fool because Demetrius does not love her but she still persists in chasing him. Demetrius shows no love for Helena. (II i,line 227-228) Demetrius says, "I'll run from thee, and hide me in the brakes, And leave thee to the mercy of wild beasts." (II i,line 199-201) "Do I entice you? Do I speak you fair? Or rather do I not in plainest truth Tell you I do not, nor I cannot love you?" Demetrius clearly illustrates to Helena that he has no interest, but Helena persists. (II i,line 202-204) Helena says, "And even for that do I love you the more. I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius, The more you beat me, I will fawn on you." (II i,line 220-222) "Your virtue is my privilege. For that It is not night when I do see your face, Therefore I think I am not in the night;" This proves that Helena is a fool because Demetrius does not love her, but she still persists.
Lysander is a fool because he persuades Hermia to avoid death and run away with him. Hermia must marry Demetrius or she will be put to death. (I i,line 83-88) Theseus says, "Take time to pause, and, by the next new moon- The sealing-day betwixt my love and me, For everlasting bond fellowship- Upon that day either prepare to die For disobedience to your father's will, Or else to wed Demetrius, as he would," Hermia does not love Demetrius. (I i,line 140) Hermia says, "O hell! To choose love by another's eyes." Hermia loves Lysander. (I i,line 150-155) "If then true lovers have been ever crossed, It stands as an edict in destiny. Then let us teach or trial patience, Because it is a customary cross, As due to love, as thoughts and dreams and sighs, Wishes and tears, poor fancy's followers." Lysander has an alternative idea. (I i,line 157-159) Lysander says, "I have a widow aunt, a dowager Of great revenue, and she hath no child; >From Athens is her house remote seven leagues." (I i,line 164- 165) "Steal forth thy father's house tomorrow night, And in the wood, a league without the town." Lysander is a fool because he convinces Hermia to risk death and run away with him.
Hermia is a fool because she risks death for love. Hermia is to marry Demetrius, or be put to death. (I i,line 95-98) Egeus says, "Scornful Lysander, true, he hath my love, And what is mine my love shall render him. And she is mine, and all my right of her I do estate unto Demetrius." Lysander suggests an idea. (I i,line 157-159) Lysander says, "A good persuasion. Therefore her me, Hermia. I have a aunt, a dowager Of great revenue, and she hath no child;" Hermia agrees with the idea. (I i,line 168-169) Hermia says, "My good Lysander, I swear to thee by Cupid's strongest bow," (I i,line 178) "Tomorrow truly will I meet thee." Hermia is a fool because she is risking death for the love of Lysander.
Therefore this proves, the four teenage lovers are fools. (VI i, Theseus states) "Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends." William Shakespeare's A Midsummers Night's Dream shows how childishly foolish lovers can be.

really it does not matter what it is as long as it is not computer related
also i am going under the assumption that the actual commands do not need to be changed is that correct?
thanks for all your help

They want the title bar in

They want the title bar in the Ninja (Notepad) view to be localized to their language version of Windows -- that is, Notepad.exe shows something different on the title bar depending on the language. It would look bogus if everything else on the screen is in French but the title bar in the Ninja/notepad window.

They can edit the batch file themselves, which controls the title bar in regular CMD mode; but I don't see a way to customize the title bar for Ninja mode.

You could have it set in an INI file, or ... whatever is convenient.

There's a picture up there.

Gee, I hope the M$ folks don't get miffed if the program mimicks Notepad briefly ... Maybe we can say it's a parody, those are legal...

so we need the exact name that pops up for an untitled file, right
also if the title is one language say french and they use a computer witha an english language wouldn't that look weird?
don't we need to control the actual language of the NinjaCommand?

Yeah, but that's why you need to set it up so they can choose. I could see them using the bat file in French while leaving the Ninja title in Spanish in certain circumstances. It would depend on the context.
