These options make the download 4 times faster, and much much more reliable.

It takes 15 Seconds to transfer WinMerge_Portable_2.8.paf.exe across the Internet, then my anti-virus (ESET NOD32 2.7) performs an in-depth investigation with the internet frozen solid (and simultaneous downloads suspended) for a further 40 Seconds before it releases its strangle-hold on the system.

I had a thought the other day about how its possible to make windows portable, and i figured that the only way to do it legally (i think?) is to run it in a virtual machine. Then technically you are only using it on one machine (the virtual one), and the windows validation wont have to be done repetitively since the specs appear the same (the virtual machine ones).

Hi all, as most of you know I have had a few apps here over the past 2+ years. These are:

Blender, CamStudio, EasyTAG, Gnumeric, Planner, Python, Battle of Wesnoth, Wink (Launcher) & WorkRave.

Well after deliberation I open up the following for anyone interested to take over as time issues are hampering me and a few core applications I want to spend more focus on.

I tried to download a program with firefox portable and it is a nightmare getting to the firefox directory. I want a script or plug-in that sets the download directory (folder)to X:\firefoxportable\downloads\ where X=usb drive letter or better yet saves the path as a .ini file , Floyd

John I wanted to apologize for the bumps. I have to admit, I've never actually read the forum guidelines. Anyways I won't do it again.

I did notice several of my posts disappeared yesterday that weren't bumps though. Do you know anything about those? I mean I would post and it appeared to go through right, then I would go back to the recent posts page and they wouldn't be there.

I've finally updated the About Us page with all our new folks. I've added in all the current developers with released apps, site admins, forum mods and translators. I used full names for all the folks with updated usernames (I know I'm behind on some of these). I haven't yet linked the translators to their profiles but I'll be working on it.

So, here is my problem. I have a following check box in my installer (nsDialog).
At the moment, the outcome of the checkbox is either 1 or 0 (checked or unchecked).
If the the outcome of $6 were 1 (checked), I need to to be "f".
If the outcome of $6 were 0 (unchecked), I need it to be "m".

Is this possible?

${NSD_CreateCheckbox} 0 70u 100% 10u "Use F"
Pop $Checkbox
....
${NSD_GetState} $Checkbox $6


--- If there is a solution to the problem above, great. But even better would be to have two radio buttons:
o use F
o use M

Would it be okay if I take over Scribus Portable?
I know I'll need it in 6th grade with the 'Museum' master project and all that.

So i really enjoy my portable apps and i brag about it every chance I get! I even have a blog article about it on www.ihelpstupidpeople.com. Just today my buddy was browsing around and found the icons and the theme. He asked me if I could make him a different colored one. I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to do this but I thought I'd share how it turned out anyway.
