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...)

I think I got the hang of these portable apps now...
I have now finished the portable SDLBasic(http://www.sdlbasic.altervista.org/) programming Language. In about 5mb, you can have a multiplatform graphical application!

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

You need the PortableApps Menu 1.0.2 Beta 2 to use this, it fixes the current directory issue.
Any Comments or suggestions?

Gaim OTR Encryption Plugin for 2.0 Beta 5 (Testers Needed)

John T. Haller's picture
Submitted by John T. Haller on November 28, 2006 - 1:01am

If anybody can test out the new OTR plugin and see if it works correctly, I can update the instructions and package for download. Thanks...

It would appear that beta 5 broke the old plugin, so a new version is needed. There's a new version on their website. The installer does *NOT* work with Gaim Portable. And, from the directory layouts, the OTR plugin may no longer be portable.

Try downloading this file: Gaim OTR 2.0 b5 Plugin (UPX Compressed)

Copy that to your GaimPortable\App\Gaim\plugins directory in an instance of Gaim Portable 2.0 Beta 5.

XN Resource Editor PE Updated! Beta testers needed!!

Submitted by otbsupport on November 23, 2006 - 10:06am

XN Resource Editor PE has been updated to match John's Portable Application Format, and the annoying bugs in the INI file have been fixed. It should also now be compatible with Vista (although my Vista machine blew so I can't test it). Give it a try and let me know what you think!

All other OTBSoft apps will be getting overhauled soon as well, and we have a few more in the works...
