Hi. I have recently discovered Portable Apps and have been assembling Open Source and Freeware programs on my USB Drive.
One program that I use a lot is called Jalbum. The website is at:
http://jalbum.net/
JAlbum is a program that allows you to create photo albums of your pictures that you can upload as a website.
It is freeware and I have been using it from my USB Drive without any problems until I tried to launch it from within the Portable Apps Menu. The .exe file shows up, and when I click on it, the program does not launch.
However, if I browse the directory and click on the EXE file, it will launch without any problems.
Does this mean that I need a launcher to run the program from the Portable Apps Menu? I have other freeware programs that will launch fine.

This is what's known as the working directory bug. It was fixed in 1.0.2 Pre-Release 2 but broke again in Pre-Release 3. You can grab 1.0.2 PR2 and it'll work.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I downloaded the version that you recommended and it launches now.
Thanks
