Beta Testing

Testing of beta versions of apps before public release.

Procedure for beta testing non opensource apps?

Submitted by thornsoft on May 2, 2007 - 5:10pm

Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to develop a commercial or shareware app, and developed it so that it would install and run on the PortableApps platform, how would he go about getting it tested?
I understand that he cannot mention the product in this forum, nor can he provide links, nor can he invite people to contact him on back channels for information on how/where to download the app to be tested.

The forum guidelines state that "ANY developers may post beta testing notices here whether their apps are hosted by PortableApps.com"

I've posted a pre-release of Sumatra PDF Portable 0.6. This updates to the new 0.6 release and uses a new launcher that retains and updates your most recently used file list. It also uses one of the new installers that I'm testing with Thunderbird, etc. Please give it a try and post your comments.

Compiled PAM Beta 2 with windows version fix?

Submitted by Alias_NeO on April 30, 2007 - 9:41am

Hi there, I'm running the BETA version now but am having problems with the image bit depths. I am running on a network with XP 5.1 but they still come up crappy, my home computer is Vista Ultimate so i know it won't work there.

Can anyone link me a compiled version with the version fix please?

Thanks

Substitute Drives

I made this app when SmithTech mentioned something on substituting drives. When you run this handy little thing it will substitute or "clone" your current drive letter with another drive letter that you choose. For example, I always substitute for T, so whenever I download something, let say from uTorrent which needs a fixed drive letter, I can point it over to T, and it will be available 95+% of the time. It will have an icon on the system tray to remove the substitution and save your last used letter to a txt file.
