Calculator Portable

Calculator Portable

What is it?

Well, it's just a launcher for Microsoft's Calculator with a splash screen.
The splash isn't that great right not, I will spend more time on it for the next release, when I cahnge the icon for the self extractor, but bascially, it's just a simple little launcher so you8 have quick and east access to the Calculator from your portable apps menu. I will be happy to give a shot at an actual calculator to make portable, is some people could give me links to some open-source calculators they have found. Thanks!

Download

Edit: Development of this launcher (Although none is needed) will be discontinued as I have found and created a portable version of TTCalc, a better, more functional calculator. The thread can be found here.

Disable Splash

I moved the calculatorportable.ini to the same directory as the calculatorportable.exe and changed the value to true.

But regardless the splash still pops up. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Linux is ready!

The Linux version of Portable Calculator is up at [self-promotional link removed].

Windows? They're what I look out of while running Linux!

Self Promotion

As I've stated several times, you may not self-promote your website here at PortableApps.com. I don't know how I could have been more clear in my previous statements. There are very specific guidelines for promoting individual applications (open source, max 2 posts per month, may not promote the website, etc). Please re-read the forum guidelines before posting again.

Are you (Ryan McCue) making fun of him and me?! He made the Portable Calculator for Windows, I made it for Linux, so you're making fun of both of us..!

On a more serious note... It's customary to have the launcher in every program, just so they would all be linked together somewhat.

I tried orange.

Didn't work with the colour of the splash, so I just went with blue. Because it matches the usb stick, I also made the font blue. It's gonna be a while before I post if here, cause I need to figure out how to get rid of some of the uneeded code, and have it still working. But if you want, I can send it to you as is, it's good to go really. Because you're not gonna notice the difference. What's your e-mail, if you want me to send it.

Small fix

In any case, it doesn't leave much registry, so it could be up for a beta release (if that's what you want to call it). One error in App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini (very unimportant, but I caught it):

[Format]
Type=PortableAppsFormat
Version=None currently

[Details]
Name=Calculator Portable
ShortName=Calculator Portable
Publisher=Patrick Patience
Homepage=None
Category=Accessibility
Description=A portable on-screen keyboard manager

should be something more like:

[Format]
Type=PortableAppsFormat
Version=None currently

[Details]
Name=Calculator Portable
ShortName=Calculator Portable
Publisher=Patrick Patience
Homepage=None
Category=Accessories
Description=A portable calculator

As I said, small, but maybe something you would want to fix before hosting.

Lol, yea, that's the only setting I could find with the program, but where does it store the settings? Cause I will definatly backup the current settings and have portable settings if you know where the settings for the local install are? Or maybe an ini file if that doesn't work. Thanks for noticing that, cause I didn't think bout it, I just new that was the only setting I could see.

overall

can this post be sorted out or started again. i think it has somewhat gotten outa hand with all the garbage not rrelating to the orig topic.

we are talking about portable scientific calculators here. we should all know by now as we have been here for awhile about links we can post and the basic guidlines (i do not remember them in detail dut they are similar to most other forum sites i, and you all, have been to).

i think that the fact that you (dkulchenk) got annoyed is ok, you do need to remember what this post is about, be respectfull of administrators that have right to say things like Ryan did when the rules have been breached.
