Portable App Development

On my pc i there is a reference to the portable app menu, even after the drive has been removed for the computer
->Right click on start
->hit propterites
->hit taskbar
->hit customize
->in that list, you should see the portable app menu

I have created a portable version of Workrave that is ready for some testing. Workrave is a program that assists in the recovery and prevention of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). The program frequently alerts you to take micro-pauses, rest breaks and restricts you to your daily limit.

I came across this the other day by accident. Definitely a nice little program to remind me to rest etc whilst I am at work busying away on the keyboard.

The self extracting archive can be downloaded from its current location.

I've been trying to make a launcher for KVIrc (its an open-source IRC client), but having problems. Firstly, so everyone knows what I did, I installed the program first onto my computer, made a copy of the program folder, then uninstalled it. When you run it for the first time it comes up with a Config wizard in which you select a IRC nickname (which can be changed later), the places you want to put its config files and downloads, and some other things.

I've been working with NSIS to compile launcher for KompoZer with Vista Compatability. I'm getting errors with "RequestExecutionLevel". How would I still compile this on Windows XP, or would someone with Vista compile it for me?

Can i suggest an autoupdater for the portable apps menu be added to options.

Would be nice if possible if there was an option underneath install a new app that said check for updates and that could then update installed apps without having to go though and manually redownload updated versions of each app.

For all those lighting designers who use ETC's Expression Off-Line Editor or any off-line editor:

Download the off-line editor installs you would like to add to your menu.

Make sure you have plugged in your drive that you use, but don't start portable apps menu.

Install the editor like you normally would, but when you get to where you want to install it, select F:\PortableApps\ExpressionOff-LineEditorPortable\ where F is your drive letter and ExpressionOff-LineEditorPortable is the new folder created.

this has been a long-term project, but finally Winamp portable launcher is ready! its set out to the PAF 0.9 layout, and is mainly based upon the firefox portable launcher for its speed.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that it is for winamp lite, but in theory should work for all of them. as smithtech (down) said, just uni-extract it or follow the instructions in the app/winamp directory.

Also, its in BETA.

I would just like to suggest an app that would password protect the entire flash drive, making it unable to view without entering in the password. I had a U3 drive that was like this. To tell you the truth it was the only nice feature of U3. Portable apps launcher is so much nicer, but it would be better if it could password protect the entire drive. Thanks.

Hello,

I put portable apps pack on my usb device. after i used the programs i wanted to, i removed it off my drive.

Now every time i put my usb drive into a computer, it says this;

when it's supposed to say "KINGSTON"

btw, there is absolutely nothing inside my USB device. I also formated it.

When will the compression routines and universal launcher allowing you to make apps portable without coding as described on the Development page be available?
