Beta Testing

Obviously even if there was a freeware section here, I'd be derided as a troll and eventually...once someone actually downloaded and tried my pack...I'd be chastised for not using NSIS and using different methods to make it faster and more simple (for some). I don't even see the need to use NSIS or any other Windows Installer standardized installer for a project seeking to make standalone packs, its kind of an oxymoron approach. If you can't deploy a standalone app with an SFX (RAR SFX being the most powerful), then you are using installers that, by their nature, touch the host OS.

Thaks to Steve, we now have a place where everybody can upload his/her DevelopmentTestReleases. It is meant for everyone who doesnt have his/her own webspace and wants to share his Apps anyhow. Steve will keep an eye on it and remove old stuff so it doesnt get too crowded.
It even has RSS/email notification.
Just post all complaints/suggestinos here in this thread.

I think thats it for now.

Thanks Steve for doing this!

I keep seeing references to people saying ImgBurn is portable, yet nobody has really put it together in a proper portable app package. Well, I have. This is my first attempt at doing such a thing as I just recently became interested in making some USB flash drives using PAM and began to see there were programs out there that were perfect for PAM but not yet properly implemented, so I tackled one of my favorites.

I do realize the goal is to use open source software. While ImgBurn is not open source, it is freeware and very useful (it has a huge fan base).

Hi all,

I make extensive use of the windows-screenshot function (pressing "PRINT SCRN" and "ALT + PRINT SCRN"), to share screenshots over IM or Email.

What i really hated was, that i always had to open an Image-Program like Paint of Photoshop to paste in the screenshot and then save it to a jpg-File.

I dont want to have a real screenshot utility running in the background all the time, and usually these applications are overloaded with functions i do not need. So i wrote this very simple and portable app bye myself.

This pre-release has been replaced by Pidgin Portable 2.4.0 Final:

Thanks to all who helped test.

I've just posted a pre-release of the upcoming 0.7.3 release of Miranda IM Portable. I'm going the pre-release route as this new release will combine the ANSI and Unicode versions of Miranda IM into a single portable app. The launcher will automatically launch the unicode version on Windows 2000 and up and the ANSI version when running on Windows 95/98/Me.

I was looking for a gui for UPX on SourceForge and found UPXcmd. It had been been set up a as .paf.exe back in September, so I decided to try it out.

Turns out it wasn't really PAF compliant as we are using today, so I set about redoing it to make it so.

From the author's readme:
UPXcmd is an open source GUI (Graphical User Interface) for excellent
executable packer, UPX (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables, upx.sf.net).

UPXcmd package contains a new program, UPXcmd DropBox. Dropbox allows
you to compress your files by dragging them to an always on top window.
