Portable App Development

almost done creating vuze to a portable application...just need help fixing the configuration files and as far as i know after that is done im done with the program, but then again im not sure, again, as far as i know i am creating a vuze launcher, so all help is appriciated, and please feel free to help all you can

Hello, I am currently working on making multiple applications into portable apps, the only problem i am facing is that i would like to know what program to use to make a launcher, I would like to make a launcher for Halo Custom Edition that offers 2 options, one to run the main executable , and another to run it with some paramaters, it would probably look nice with a GUI of some sort, the rest will not need a GUI but for halo it would make it a lot easier and nicer.

Just made this empty ThinApp. What it does is, it will virtually start 'cmd.exe' from the host (So 'cmd.exe' isn`t actually included in the ThinApp). What the great thing is, it is possible to even install a program in to the virtual environment. This could be run from the flash-drive. What I done this weekend is to start 'Desktops' in the virtual environment, with this I could switch between the real localhost and the virtual environments located on my USB-stick, by a single click.

While the categories for the Portable Apps seem pretty logical, I see a lot of programs fall in the "Other" category for Utilities. (about 10!)

I also noticed that some of the categories didn't quite fit.

While it may seem like a lot to modify all of the existing apps to fit this category, it probably could just be implemented in new apps and app updates. Here's a little more of what I figured might have made more sense:

Accessibility
> On-Screen Keyboards
>> On-Screen Keyboard Portable
> Screen Magnifiers
>> Virtual Magnifying Glass Portable

haXe and Neko Portable is a fully functional Open Source development platform by Nicolas Cannasse that compiles a single Object Oriented programming language (haXe) into Flash, Javascript, PHP, Neko and more; haXe enables full source code reuse and communication between different platforms, while Neko in particular offers much more speed for server applications than for example PHP or Perl. For more info, see http://haxe.org/.

It could be interesting to get more folder-type icons to use with our Documents sub-folders. It's fine to have Videos, Pictures or Music folders, but I'm pretty sure most of us have other folders to store certain type of data.

For instance, I have the following general folders that might be interesting for others too:

- Downloads: for all stuff downloaded from the Internet.
- Library: where I store my eBooks
- File cabinet: where I move all the reference material and old documents I do not need any longer on a daily basis.

Hi everyone!

Is there an official temp folder?
I think OpenOffice uses X:/temp and I think Marko said this was the "official one". Is that the case?

I just want to be sure before I use it with Griffith Portable...

If I have a load of language files called...

French.lng
German.lng
Italian.lng
etc.


wouldn't it be better if I could just...

ReadEnvStr $APPLANGUAGE "PortableApps.comName"

instead of...

ReadEnvStr $APPLANGUAGE "PortableApps.comLocaleglibc"

followed by all the

StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE "fr"
StrCpy $APPLANGUAGE "French"
etc.
