can I post a bat script?

Submitted by agdurrette on February 23, 2010 - 4:59pm

I'v put together a batch script so you can quickly launch common command prompt commands.

I don't think this is considered self promoting , if it is I'm sorry you can take it down. I do have a argument about how I'm not breaking any rules if you want to here it.

Let me know what you think of it. If you have any suggestions on commands to add to it or any think I can do to make it better let me know.
I can make a PAF launcher for it if people would like me to, or will at least try to Smile

Streets and trips

Submitted by Livin_Target on February 21, 2010 - 9:15pm

I know I cannot package it for public use. However .. I would like to ask is it possible to make Streets and Trips 2010 portable? And if so how would someone with no knowledge begin?
The reason I'm asking is I have and use almost daily streets and trips. My work computer will not allow us to install anything. But, it's really getting to be a pain dragging my laptop back and forth just to use one program. My PApps drive functions perfectly on it so if I can get this prog to work from it then I can stop dragging that anchor back and forth.
Appreciate any help ya'll can throw my way.

Help with regshot

Submitted by agdurrette on February 21, 2010 - 7:56pm

I'm working on two more portable apps and I used regshot to find the registry entries and such, I keep finding other registry entries that have nothing to do with the apps I am working on, what should I do to keep them from coming up?
Also: any thing that will take a snapshot of the registry and restore the registry to a snapshot?

Downloads folder

Submitted by Jacob Mastel on February 21, 2010 - 5:02pm

The icons used by PA.c are great, and they do keep that portable user folder idea going. However I think that it should also have a downloads folder. I can't remember if XP did or not, but my Vista computer and I know Win7 has a custom Downloads folder icon. I have FireFox Portable set to put everything in X:\Documents\Downloads. Any chance we could see that in the next release?

Doanload and Install All Apps

Submitted by josh_adams on February 21, 2010 - 3:30pm

I am one of those that like to have almost "everything" loaded. When it comes to PortableApps, this can take a while. I start with the suite, then download every app I'm interested in individually, then have to install them individually. I may have missed it, but is there a way to bundle all of the apps and create a single installer based off of a checklist? Something like http://www.ninite.com

Thanks in advance for any help!

[Complete] Poll: Audacity 1.2 Stable vs 1.3 Beta vs Others

As we've discussed a few times, Audacity is our currently recommended open source audio editor. We've had it available portably for a while and recently began bundling it in the PortableApps.com Music Production Suite.

Currently, we bundle and recommend the 1.2.x stable branch of Audacity. There has been some debate over switching to the 1.3.x beta branch. Normally, this would be out of the question as we don't promote beta products as stable to end users. Unfortunately, in the world of Audacity, this is *MUCH* more complicated than with any other software we currently bundle.
