hello everybody!
im a frequent visitor here.
all of my apps. are either PAF, NSIS, but are all portable except for the few that need to be installed.
i have been using NSIS to make my portable apps. but decided to switch to PAF because of John @ PortableFreeware.com.
I have successfully built a few apps already.. but i have a few nagging questions i hope can be clarified here
1. If the application stores it's settings in the registry:
- do i have to use [FileMove] to back it up in addition to [registry]activate=true? or is setting the registry key to be portabilized enough?
i.e. i use [FileMove] if the app stores it's settings in an .ini file incase of future updates.
2. What if an application leaves files on the host PC? i have found [DirectoriesCleanupIfEmpty] for cleaning up directories.. but nothing for files? or am i supposed to move them to TEMP, then clean up TEMP directory?
Thank you
1. You'll need to specify which keys to portablize, through
[RegistryKeys]
.2. Can you give some examples?
