Why is there a second post with 40 seconds of difference?
Looks cool...
works fine for him. I don't know if it leaves files behind.
xaos is in an .tar.gz file packed at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xaos/files/XaoS/
in the directory 3.5, but for Linux... also source file there. I can't compile, someone other?
All the files you need are in '$_OUTDIR'.
I've always liked fractals, so I had a quick look at the behaviour of this app.
My first impression is good, it's basic and fast ! I like the auto pilot option.
It behaves like it's portable as it is.
It doesn't seem to leave any registry keys or files on the local drive. Just the installer leaves 2 values, 1=where Xaos is intalled, 2=installer language
You can get it to save some files: *.cfg, *.dlg & *.xpf
It just seems to save these file into the app dir. But none of them contain any drive paths. Nore do they contain the apps language or can I get it to change language at all !
I could make a dev.test release for this over the weekend, IF I find some time.
But honestly, I do have priorities for some other projects I'm doing.
Using Chris' Portable Launcher, it should be easy enough to set this up.
In W7, it does seem to leave HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.xaf\OpenWithList.
I know that I am very late to this "party", but I made a portable version of XaoS
