Beta Testing

Testing of beta versions of apps before public release.

Azureus Portable

Submitted by vamp1r on December 16, 2006 - 7:44am

For this release i'm going to pretend that every computer has java. (From my experience almost all do, so the java crutch doesn't bother me.)

I put together a portable version of Azureus 2.5.0.0 with the advanced statistics plugin pre-installed. I used a compiled batch file rather than NSIS, which will work (in theory) on WinNT/2k and XP. It might work on Vista-- if a Vista user could test this compatibility that would be great.

Anyway...

Testers needed for OverhoorPortable

Submitted by maikelsteneker on December 12, 2006 - 2:56pm

Hi beta testers!

I made a portable app of the great program Overhoor. At the moment it's nothing more or less than a launcher with the right name 7zipped in a paf file.

The author of the original program mailed me that he likes the idea and will allow continued development if the files installed by the original setup will not be modified.

Please tell me whether you like it or not, and if the program leaves some unwanted traces on systems it's used on.

AutoStart Visual Editor 1.12 Released

AVE 1.1 has now been released. AVE is the AutoStart Visual Editor. It allows you to quickly and easily add, remove or reorder items in an INF file. The main update in 1.1 is the new way in which it parses INF files. This should mean that it works with all INF files rather than just those of AutoStart. You can get it here

Any comments would be welcome.

Update 2006-12-12 - I have just published AVE 1.11 which is identical to 1.1 except that it fully supports the Portable Applications Format making it easy to use with the Portable Apps Menu. If you already have 1.1 there isn't really any reason to upgrade.

Paint.NET Portable Beta

Submitted by dormedas on December 3, 2006 - 5:08pm

Well, now, this would be my first Portable App!

Paint.NET is an image manipulation software similar to Photoshop, but less complex, and more easy-to-understand than GIMP.(at least for me)

Paint.NET Portable is actually 1 more MB than regular Paint.NET, because I've not UPX'd it yet. This is Beta 0.5 of the portable app, and for the actual program's version beta 3.0 v1.

The download size is 6.1 MB, and the actual files are 15.9 MB I believe.
(.7z format, use your portable 7-zip!)

(as stated, it's not necessarily portable, so...use if you want.....or can...)

wxBasic and IDE ready for test!

Submitted by iamacooldude on December 1, 2006 - 6:01pm

I have just finished creating a portable version of the open source wxBasic(http://wxbasic.sourceforge.net/) and the wxEditor.
Zip file with just files:
http://xstreamsystems.co.nr/PortablewxBasic.zip
http://eyecreate.dre.am/portable/PortablewxBasic.zip
Ready to install using Portable apps menu:
http://xstreamsystems.co.nr/PortablewxBasic.exe
http://eyecreate.dre.am/portable/PortablewxBasic.exe
You need the PortableApps Menu 1.0.2 Beta 2 to use this, it fixes the current directory issue.
Any Comments or suggestions?
