Beta Testing

Hallo @all,
in the last weeks I work hard in order to get a new Installer for OpenOffice.org Portable with support for optional components.

The result (on the base of Johns last FF Installer with the new directory structure an linked images in the help.html) You'll find it now here:
OpenOffice_Portable_2.3.0_TR_2

* Multilingual (en-US, en-GB, de, fr, nl)
* en-us, de (Packages for en-GB, fr an nl comming soon if You want)

Updated for beta 3.

It can be found in the same place.
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/upxau
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=208704
I apologize in advance if packages are missing; everything will be there when I announce beta 3.

I've done some more rearranging and there will be two packages:
upxau_script-1.0xn - This contains only the script itself, the license, and the changelog. Anyone updating should download this

This is just my preference, but can we post a link to the original program that is being portablized? Sometimes the brief description folks give doesn't seem to be descriptive enough, and a link to the original website development can help me decide if it is _really_really_ worth it, or just good enough.

Task Coach is an absolutely fantastic to-do manager that's very easy to use, but has plenty of wonderful features. The program is released under the GPL, read more about it from the Official Site.

I highly suggest you try this out as it's a wonderful program that's beneficial to many an goes great alongside PNotes (Portable). If you do download it, please do me the favor of reporting feedback on any problems you have, or even typos.

I am currently using PortableApps.com Platform 1.1 Beta 4 and it is working great! I love the desktop swapper and other new features (personal picture, drag-able file menu, etc.)

I am aware that this is a beta version & can have some negative effects on my Portable Apps and documents. I was wondering:

1) With the new interface, are the apps still truly portable and secure? For example, does Firefox still leave no traces on host PC?

This is a verbatim of the post I made in the original in the FxP forum. I need people to test the batch files and give feedback. Ways to make it better (how to implement certain features, not just suggestions) would also be greatly appreciated.

After much trial, error, and frustration, I finally got it to work.
Anyway, the batch files can be found here:

Updated so John doesn't have to.

PNotes is a sticky note utility that allows you to post sticky notes on your screen. It has multiple display options as well as a handy feature to schedule notes to pop up. It's small (under 1MB) and works well on Windows 2000 and up.

PNotes Portable 2.5.0.101 Pre-Release 1
(may take a few minutes to hit the download servers)

Now has a much better icon than the previous one.

Scribus Portable is the popular Scribus desktop publishing application in PortableApps.com format. Scribus is an open-source program that brings professional page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X, OS/2 and Windows desktops with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout. Plus, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can publish files wherever you go.

Hi All,

I have pleasure to present portable version of Java-Comix.

Java-Comix is a comic book files viewer like CDisplay/CDisplayEx written in Java. It can read directories, 7z, zip, cbz, rar, cbr, tar, cbt, PDF files! Full screen, playlist, open multiple files.

This is BETA version since still I did not fix some issues - for example it must be installed under PortableApps/Comix otherwise C executable which runs Java will not find scripts (bat files) for it.
