Wallpaper swapper

Submitted by Dauphinflyer on July 11, 2008 - 9:13am

Well I downloaded the new version of Portable apps menu and it talks about "Wallpaper Swapper" and I saved a bmp file in pictures but I think I am missing something since nothing has changed and the search is slightly confusing me, anyone willing to help me?

CommandPromptPortable: Target directory as parameter

Submitted by freemp on July 4, 2008 - 2:15pm

In order to be able to use CommandPromptPortable for launching command prompts from within portable 3rd-party Explorer replacements (like FreeCommander) directly into the current working directory, I was slightly changing the CommandPromptPortable launcher source (CommandPromptPortable.nsi). It reads the target directory as parameter now, e.g. running

P:\PortableApps\CommandPromptPortable>CommandPromptPortable.exe X:\foo\bar

would result in X:\foo\bar being the current directory of the command prompt being launched, like

X:\foo\bar>

PNotes confusion

Submitted by alanbcohen on July 3, 2008 - 8:26pm

I'm getting confused by the two versions of PNotes that are being put out in the Beta forums. It seems that oliverk and lamer are competing, rather than cooperating. The result is my wanting to use stickies instead. What is going on and which version of PNotes is the beta of an official release?

Apps I have found to work in portable apps

Just thought some network techs might like to know of a couple of jems I have gotten to easily work in PortableApps just by copying to the main folder.

Portable Skype Beta 4

Submitted by Disz on July 1, 2008 - 2:02am

Hi,
This is probably old news to you lot - and I'll admit I didn't make it all the way through the forum list, but I managed to get the new skype beta (v.4.0) running as a portable app. I can provide details if anyone cares...though I'm sure one of you has beaten me to it.
It seems to work fine, though I'm not wild about the look of the new version.

Cheers!
-Disz.
