Portable App Development

Hello,

maybe my suggestions can be setup in one of the next Releases?

It is already possible to set a special wallpaper to be activated when
Portable Apps starts.

The root of the user profile should also be changed to the data on the usb-stick.

That means, if I open Internet Explorer there should be the favourites
and links which are stored on the usb stick. The same with Quick Launch (will be hard),
and so on.

In many cases some reg-key must been changed or updated and reset on end.
So there can be tow Files (System.reg and UserUSB.reg) which have to be executed.

MaximaPortable has two applications connected by a socket: maxima.exe and the wxmaxima.exe GUI. When the portable launches in Windows XP I get the following popup:

I began working on an app, for a lack of a better term I am just calling it a portable desktop for the time being. This has similar functionality to the Windows desktop. Only this will run completely portable. The user can easily customize/ change the wallpaper, add shortcuts, rearrange shortcuts……. All with a few mouse clicks and can will be able to use this customized desktop on any system.

I tried creating a portable app following the instructions here: https://portableapps.com/node/14939
However, I keep getting error messages. Someone suggested that it is because I did not create a launcher and a help file in the folder structure. Now, I thought that
compiling the script would create the launcher. I am sorry for being rather ignorant about this, but I would like to learn how to create portables. Is someone willing to walk me through the process a little?
I would be happy to communicate via email, rather than clogging up the forum with dumb questions.
Thanks in advance,

Hello people,

This is Arun ....

I'm using USB eTokens (to carry my digital certificates for authentication) with firefox. For the eToken to work, we need to import the corresponding PKCS#11 module in Options -> Security Devices -> Load. In my case this will be the Aladdin driver's module.

I tried to import the same in portable firefox installed in another USB drive (not in the eToken). It is working fine. I need to insert both the USB drive (with Portable Firefox) and eToken (with digital certificate).

I'm having trouble with saving the appdata for IMVU, the way i currently handle it seems to only work on Windows Vista, when i tested it on an XP with a local install of IMVU it deleted the host appdata and didn't copy the one it saved in the Data directory.

my current code can be found here and is based on 7-Zip portable

Hi,

I read all the documentation, installed nsis, created the directory structure, having an app that can run without installation, editted the "PortableApps.comInstallerConfig.nsh", did right mouse button on the nsi project file and it created the AppNamePortable.paf.exe file for me. That went all fine. After the install of AppNamePortable.paf.exe on the usb stick there's no launcher at all. How can i create the program launcher? The one that's need to be placed with the dir's Apps, Data, Other. Or do in need to create the launcher myself for ex. in C#.

Thx in advance

I found Tux Racer on the Red Hat Linux I found in the basement and it was an awesome app.

So I did a wikipedia search and found this.

It appears that there's three of them.

Does anybody know which one is the best and has the least bugs?
