Ok Guys this is my next release of SumatraPDF Portable since my first 2 releases I recieved pretty interesting critism from portableapps.com and my site. from those I've created a launcher that will override the apps prefs with some preset prefs (Idea taken from John's Release) and after launching is done the launcher takes those settings and moves them to the Data\Settings folder and also creates a backup of that settings.

ok Guys this is my test release of AqualungPortable
when exiting the app you'll find that the music still plays. it is because there is an empty space in the tray menu where an icon should be but isn't there so just right click the empty spot. if you get it right you can open a menu where you select quit

Wikidpad is Wiki-like note-taking software, eventhough it is very portable to start out I made it more portable. Wikidpad is opensource software, so enjoy!

By the way , Wikidpad Portable currently for some reason is incompatible with the PortableApps Menu, but can be used by double-clicking on the Wikidpad Portable icon.

This application technaclly is portable. It, however, was not intended for portable use. It was made for downloading programs and installing them automatically. It currently has a number of programs from portableapps.com and a few other apps.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pa-install

Note: this is open source/MITed.

Features:

Auto-Update: I can update the application list on my site and it will get the new apps. This can be disabled by deleting the updateiniurl key (or by setting it to an empty string).
Direct Copy: Dont't extract, copy.

Media Player ClassicPortable

This is a test release of Media Classic Portable it comes with a codec pack that would normally be packaged with mplayer but it works well enough with media player classic. Plugins are stored in Data\Plugins and then moved to the app directory so that any media file you play the plugins are activated and after execution the plugins are moved back into the plugins directory. The registry location is at HKCU\Software\Gabest\Media Player CLassic.
