Suite not used - collecting launcher of portable apps in one place

Submitted by chrizio on May 7, 2009 - 4:30am

Suite neither installed nor used.
I wish to have launchers of all my portable apps
to be collected in one place on the pen-drive.
E.g. in a dedicated folder.

Windows shortcuts don't work, they need absolute paths.
How would be the procedure for creating these launchers?

Hi all

I had Microsoft Calculator Plus installed on my computer I copied the .exe file to a folder in my portable apps usb drive and it seems to be working? with no glitches

anyway I don't know the legal side of things but I thought I would mention it here incase anyone was interested ...

also would it be worth me asking for this to be made into a portable app?
or is there issues with using Microsoft's stuff???

The new PortableApps.com Installer and Format has been released:
https://portableapps.com/development/portableapps.com_format
https://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_installer

I've been making a lot of progress on finalizing PortableApps.com Format and the PortableApps.com Installer for generalized use. As discussed previously, the installer is switching to an INI-based configuration so that publishers and devs won't need to write any code to get an installer.

Here's what the appinfo.ini file will be looking like:

Anything to password protect access to the entire drive?

Submitted by rahulm on May 3, 2009 - 3:18pm

First off:

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. I've recently purchased a Kingston Hyperx (got a great deal on eBay, 30 bucks for the 8gig). They are pretty expensive in Canada. I was really interested in a U3 drive and had my heart set on one, until I discovered that the entire project was in the process of being scrapped. But then I found this site and it was all good, same usability on a much faster USB drive.

John,

Logout of the site and log in again.
You/I are/am taken to your/my user page, this was not what happened before.
Is this a bug as a result of the update, or is this intentional?

Tested in user and moderator accounts.
Thanks to ptmb for reporting Smile
