Hi im toady

I work on the cyberfox project witch is a x64bit variant of Firefox based from there source code.

I have put allot of time and resources into this project and do offer a portable version of cyberfox.

My question is how do i get it submitted to your awesome collection of great apps.

Im not sure your views on x64bit applications but would really like to provide my user base with the ability to automatically update cyberfox through the portable apps platform or even download it via your application.

Please let me know what steps i need to take.

i am going round and round,help needed again,i want to use an app that changes date to launch another app,so should the cmdline point to the main app or the portable launcher--?

a)so do i launch the date changing app, and then send command line to launch the portable-app-launcher.exe or do i send commandline to launch the date changing app, and then execute the main app(and not its launcher)---?

how should i go about it--?

or should i use WaitForEXE1 or something.

What i want===run the app in a custom date

my launcher.in==

i am new to platform,and i am feeling exhaussted,i wanted to make an app portable ,a directory needs to be moved from data directory to system,how can i make use of symbolic link,than move data back and forth.

i have success with [DirectoriesMove] ,i rather use symbolic links,[DirectoriesMove] is inefficent and slow

Chrome Stand Alone App

I've created a HTML5 app that uses portable chrome to run on Windows PC's.

My customer would like to have it burnt to CD so they can use it anywhere as a program. This works great except for one minor thing. When on a read only device portable chrome prompts the user if it's ok to temporary use the local disk space for a profile. Is it possible to remove or suppress this warning. They are aware of what it is doing but don't need to see the warning. They'd like to not keep hitting yes.

I have yet to try, as I'm worried about what could happen.

I want to use a Full Install of SeaMonkey at the same time as my Portable SeaMonkey- both open at the same time and being tweaked concurrently.

I tried a search, found nothing recent.

My reasons for this:

I want to make a 100% standard theme for SeaMonkey that I can use in my Portable Version. Eventually, I would like to approach somebody about including it somehow.

If nothing else, I would like to learn more from the experience about portablizing apps.

Not sure if there's anything that can be done about it from our end, but there's a spelling error on the following page - "property" is missing the t in customusb's blurb about themselves.

Hi,
I was just wondering if its possible to trigger a app update when the program is already running?
I have a work PC / Server that now has portable apps running on it continually, I'd like it always kept up to date.

Is there any way of triggering an update other than closing and restarting the app?

I'm not to worried about the install bit, just kicking off the checking bit, the PC is checked every day so I can manually install the apps its just reminding me to do it!

Every time I try to download an app from the page for that app, and the download link goes to SourceForge, it gives me a 404 error. I have to go to Sourceforge manually to the Portable Apps folder to find the download I want.

Any clue as to why?

I've tried to do a few forum searches and got flustered...

I have a few questions.

1. Is it 'allowed' (not bad practice) to launch apps from within the launcher WITHOUT the launcher?

I have made shortcuts directly to my apps and use those daily. Once a week I open the launcher itself to check for updates.

2. Are all the apps on this website honestly completely portable and confined within the launcher folders?

Hi,

I'm putting together a project to distribute bibles and Christian software on USB sticks,

I'd like to make a web based user interface, although I don't do web design, I'm looking for an easy way to make a simple collection of nice looking icons to start up apps for me.

Most of them need to be driven using batch files, ie: I have a batch file to run VLC player and open a bible in Arabic, another runs VLC with a playlist with list of Christian radios stations in Persian, etc.

Any suggestions what I can use? some kind of simple template job would be perfect.
