UltraStar Deluxe 1.1 Portable Development Test 2

Haven't run the app (and I probably won't, not my kind of thing) so can't say about actual running portability, but just looking through the files:

help.html:

• Still just the template, you need to fill in the app name, description, links etc. and remove the licensing line about freeware since this is open source.

Icons:

• You need to have appicon_16.png and appicon_32.png (and optionally appicon_128.png) alongside your appicon.ico. Check the first paragraph here.

appinfo.ini:

• I would suggest changing the Name to UltraStar Deluxe Portable and the AppId to UltraStarDeluxePortable to be consistent with the app's real name.
• The Publisher should be the name of the actual publisher, not "App Developer".
• Remove the following: [Details]:Trademarks, [Details]:InstallType, [License]:EULAVersion, the [SpecialPaths] section and the [Dependencies] section, these are not needed if they are set to the default values.
• Remove [Control]:ExtracIcon, you have an appicon.ico so it isn't needed.
• You can remove all the lines from the [Associations] section that don't have values.
• Your DisplayVersion should be 1.1 Development Test 1 - it should indicate the app version, your PackageVersion (1.0.0.0) is alright to be a little "behind" your DisplayVersion.
• You can remove the [FileTypeIcons] section unless you need to specify an icon other than the default one for the file types you are actually associating in the [Associations] section.

launcher.ini:

• Shouldn't set SplashTime=0 unless the app opens instantly, just remove it so it uses the default.
• You can remove WaitForProgram=true, it is the default value
• Remove the [RegistryValueWrite] section, there is nothing in it.
• With the [DirectoriesMove] you are trashing everything in %USERPROFILE%\UltraStarDeluxe. Is there actual user data here you should be saving?

Portability:

• You should test whether the app can be moved without breaking portability within the same drive letter (eg. from X:\Apps\ to X:\PortableApps\) and set DirectoryMoveOK as appropriate in your launcher.ini.
• Your app settings (held in App\UltraStarDeluxe\config.ini) will be overwritten every time the app is updated. You need to do the following:
  1. Copy config.ini to the App\DefaultData directory.
  2. Add the following to your launcher.ini:
     [FilesMove]
config.ini=%PAL:AppDir%\UltraStarDeluxe
• Determine if there is a command line switch to make the app look in a defined location for things like the songs and playlists folder. If so, you would want to move these to the DefaultData directory, and set a command line parameter to look in Data\. If not, add a file called installer.ini to the AppInfo directory with the following:
  [DirectoriesToPreserve]
PreserveDirectory1=App\UltraStarDeluxe\songs
PreserveDirectory2=App\UltraStarDeluxe\playlists

  I can only assume you should do the same for screenshots, plugins (if the user can add plugins), themes (if the user can add themes), and any other folders with user changeable content.

Other:

• Remove the Data directory, it shouldn't be there on a fresh install.

There is a lot there so if you have any questions just ask, and once you've got these things worked out we can help you with automatic language switching.
