video converter portable

Submitted by clintoy on December 16, 2008 - 9:43am

i have tried making portable apps using thinstall/thinapp. i'd like to know how to build one using the portableapps.com way. could anyone direct me to a fullpage almost step-by-step guide??? i have converted almost all of my program collections to portable. its more convinient when you need to reinstall the os, you get to keep your application settings and customizations. if i get to be successful in making my first portable, i would love to make my illustrator cs4 too. i am not really a programmer just a hobbist.

Switch Proxy crashes Zotero - any modification likely?

Submitted by Julia Thornton on December 16, 2008 - 2:00am

I used SwitchProxy and loved it, until I found the mysterious crashes of Zotero (Bibliographic database Add-on to FF Portable)were caused by Switch Proxy. (There is a note on their forums about this) I have tried writing to Jeremy Gillick (SwitchProxy author) but with no luck. Any chance of an update so it runs with Zotero?

Hello everybody,

i would do it myself, but i suspect my programming knowledge
is too limited..

Last Chaos can be found on www.lastchaos.de (german edition)
or http://www.download.com/Last-Chaos-English-/3000-7540_4-10619453.html (english edition)

Portable Environment

Submitted by burning_ice on December 15, 2008 - 6:52am

Is it possible to create a sub-environment, a program manager or something like U3 that will monitor non-portable programs that run on a flash drive and redirect all its registry access to an area in the drive that would act as pseudo registry? Instead of accessing the "true" registry, a false one would be introduced.

It could be used to make non-portable and closed-source programs portable.

WAMP / Joomla

Submitted by jbudd on December 14, 2008 - 9:10pm

Mowes is a portable WAMP and Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress etc system.
I have managed to get it to startup automatically from my Portable Apps USB stick, but it isnt very well integrated does not shutdown from the Eject button.

Does anyone have a setup that fully integrates Mowes or other WAMP and Joomla with PA?
