I've been through most of the documentation and from my reading I should be able convert a existing opensource app into a portable app correct?

It would be very helpful if there was a practical example of taking a non-portableapp and turning into a portableapp.

The existing documentation is very detailed but its difficult to assemble it into a functional example of creating a portableapp.

If there are any functional examples out there on how to create a portable app, please point me to the right references.

Thanks!!

When is Geany Portable going to be updated? Geany is now at version 1.24.1. I like Geany and want to use the new version.

Will PortableApps run on an Intel-based Mac?

Anyone else see the word 'false' at the very beginning of the body of posts?

and so i was hoping what can be hard in it ?

so my obvious idea was to install stuff he provided me in links and use it to create simple portable app just for test before i go to emulator cause i think its more complicated

Hey guys,

I have installed the portable apps program onto my flash drive, but it is among many other things on my drive so the directory for the program is not in the root eg. X:\. I think this is causing issues with the program as my flash drive icon is the default 'broken' icon and I cannot change it. I have tried to edit the autorun.inf but to no avail. Any ideas??

-Thanks,

I find some instructions on how to use some applications quite complicated, and think that adding explicit detailed hypothetical examples to such instructions would be helpful. I see that this suggestion has been posted by other members, of course using different words. Never the less, I find it a good idea to submit the suggestion again.

I have some programs and games that when i start them from the portable launcher it gives me errors. And the problem for this is in the portable launcher because otherwise these programs and games work fine.

How can i troubleshoot problems with the launcher? Do i have to look at the launcher.ini or appinfo.ini or i have to edit the NSIS script, which will be hard for me since i am not a coder? When there is a problem with the launcher what usually is the source of the problem?
