Toucan

I found the Toucan thing, and it looks really good. I was wondering when it is coming out or planned for release.

Help - stuck on 600x800 screen portableapps window not sizeable

Submitted by ginko on April 19, 2007 - 7:09pm

Found this, and it is great. Only issue I am using on a PC installed in my car with a 800x600 wide touch screen. The window for the portableapps is too big and goes off the screen. Any thoughts on allowing resize of window or horizontal bar? Hide option for the options and mt docs etc?

Love the app just wish I could use it in the car and then bring to the desktop.

Thanks!

Run file instead of exe in NSIS?

Submitted by someoneabc on April 19, 2007 - 3:37pm

Hey all,
I want to know if there's a way to launch another file extension besides .exe (right now I'd like .mdb). Is there another function besides ExecWait I can do this with??

Here's my current code:
BTW: I'm making my splash screens for files, this one's for our church database.

Name "Myname"
OutFile "MyOutput.exe"
Caption "Mycaption"

Icon "Myicon.ico"

CRCCheck On
WindowIcon Off
SilentInstall Silent
AutoCloseWindow True
RequestExecutionLevel user

Section "Main"
			;=== Show the splash screen while processing registry entries

Tile World-Opinions...

Submitted by Patrick Patience on April 19, 2007 - 12:14am

I think I'm gonna try and make a portable version of Tile World

Once I heard someone request the old Chip's Challenge game, I really wanted to have it portably. And it was a simple game, so I could have just made a launcher for it for myself, but I couldn't release it because it's not free or open source.

PAM & ASuite Suggestion

I know the on start and on exit functionality has been suggested for PAM.
And ASuite already has it.
I have a suggestion for both (PAM's hopeful future support) and ASuite.
The ability to select BOTH the on start and on exit option along with a different argument for each option. This would allow the menu to start AND stop an application with the menu if the application supports it. The support could also possibly be added to the current launchers.

Chop down Flash MX 2004 in size and make it portable!

Submitted by Creebo on April 15, 2007 - 9:04pm

Hey everybody,
I've been going around this site in amazement thinking how many of my favorite programs I could use out of the house, so I decided to try it with Flash MX 2004.

Now bear with me this is my first portabilized application so there will be some registry entries left over.

1. Install and authorize your copy of Flash MX 2004, then navigate to the programs main folder (in my case C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\).

2. Make a folder to hold the program's files (I recommend directly on your flashdrive, that is if you have about 32 MB to spare).
