General Discussion

Hi all,

I suppose this is one of those forms of self-promotion, but I'm simply announcing that I have worked on a portable launcher for 7zip and for Gaim v2b3, and they are available for download at http://pfeerick86.googlepages.com/7zportable and http://pfeerick86.googlepages.com/gaimportable.

Full source code is available, and the launchers are based on the latest FirefoxPortable Launcher, so they should fully support running from CDs, etc. Don't know about linux/unix compatability via wine.

I'm not going to be on the forums for a while. I've been debating this for a while now, and I decided it's finally time I did it.

You see, I'm working on two games right now, one being an RPG, so I need all the time I can get to get anything worthwhile done on them. I spend most of my Internet time on the PortableApps.com forums, so I figure if I take a break for a while, I'll free up a lot of time for my own projects.

Hi,

I have a different concept of generating portable apps. I create the environment needed for a software virtually and not static on the PC. So my portablisation works on all software without any modification and is it leaving no traces on the computer.

I have written a freeware/donationware programsuite based on on that concept that generates portableapps on any software you can find. Combined with the nice menu its all what i need to survive.

(Actually the current version needs the .Net Framework 2.0, but i am working on that fact)

I am not saying that this method is better than programming good software or making a modification but my method is the only way to use closed source software, too. So Guys keep on your good work and for "any digital life (nearly) anywhere" use my software

I'm looking for a VPN client that will run off a USB stick. Or something that will automatically generate a Windows VPN connection profile with my specified options.

I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to implement remote
access to our clients' control servers. We want to be able to provide
a USB stick to our clients. When it is plugged in to a Windows XP
computer it needs to be able to connect to their home VPN establish
the connection then open up PocketFirefox to the homepage.

Most VPN clients I have come across require the computer to be rebooted, or they offer no way to setup the vpn connection automatically with autorun.

Hi all,

I have a portable USB Drive with tons of documents (text, PDF, MS Office) on it. Is there a portable app that buils a search index over the portable drive and has an interface to search that index? Preferred app would open PortableFirefox and displays the search result in the Browser, but any other user interface is fine, too.

Does this exist?

Thanks for Help

Is it possible to set up the individual portable apps so that all of the settings for all the apps are stored in PortableApps\Data?

I have looked for what needs to be done for each portable app but cannot find the information. If someone can point me to this I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

I would like a few opinions on some encryption software for a USB thumb drive. There are a lot of them out there and wanted to know what ones you guys suggest.

Does anyone know a way to make it possible to use a PNG file vs. a JPG file for the launch splash screens?

I've tried to edit the NSI file, and make all instances of .jpg into .png, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?
