Well here it is , RC2. This version has a completely revamped interface, as well as a completely new encryption system (initially for Secure) and a VAST clean up of the code.

You can get it here:

www.sourceforge.net/projects/liberta

Please post any comments below, as well as bugs and feature requests.

Steve

P.S. Could someone do a comparison of the speed of the secure bit and any thing else that you might be using, thanks.

Libertà Release : PUSS 1.0 RC1

Surprise!!!

This is the first release of the new Libertà app, Portable Utility and Security Suite (PUSS for short). It contains all of the functionality of Sync and Backup as well as the never released Secure module. I haven't written the documentation yet but it should be coming early next week. Hopefully once it is mature I'll halt the individual bits, after one code base is easier than three.

Enjoy and please post any bugs below. You can get it from

www.sourceforge.net/projects/liberta

There are quite a few new feature such as a real sync mode that compares files modification times, a much speeded up backup part and a encryptor. Note at the moment the encryptor just copies the files to an encrypted archive but I'm looking to change that in the future.

Existing Portable Apps as U3 Apps?

Submitted by rustyz82 on August 28, 2006 - 6:59pm

This is probably one for John to answer.

Currectly U3 Offers a prototyper to convert an application into a u3p file. I noticed that John has released the 3 Mozilla apps as U3 apps so far, but wouldn't most of the applications here already conform to the U3 guidelines? I have been talking to the U3 consortium about the guidelines and so far I havn't found one that most of these apps do not meet. I would love to ee the same volume of applications here on portable apps up on software central on the U3 site. Just a thought, let me know what you guys think.

Portable Sony Vegas v6.0 (6MB) Project

Submitted by aniperleo on August 27, 2006 - 5:23am

Sony Vegas v6.0 combines real-time SD, DV, and HDV video editing with unrivaled audio tools to provide the ultimate all-in-one environment for creative professionals — high-definition and high-fidelity. With its unique, visual approach to digital video and audio production, Vegas delivers tremendous power, incredible speed, and maximum productivity in an uncomplicated, efficient platform.

Sony Vegas v6.0 also uses 156 megabytes of hard-drive space, but it only needs 6. Imagine the possibilities; editing video on the fly, like a fly. The NSIS-based launcher is still in development, but after a recent update from Ryan McCue on my Photoshop thread, I have the distinct feeling that both of these apps will be well running soon.

Hi Guys....

I just got the latest ClamAV portable app. and it is once again taking forever to get the virus signature updates - this happened the last time I got the program.

I'm using dsl lite with a 768kbps down speed, have used more than 5 hours and it still isn't done? My connection is just about the speed it's rated for!

Anyone have any ideas why? Thanx beforehand in case ya do ! :-)®

Portable Age of Empires Gold

Submitted by D4vid on August 25, 2006 - 5:08pm

Hello!

I am trying to make a portable launcher for the wonderful game Age of Empires Gold.
But there is one slight problem that i would need some help with.
Because i get this error message when the launcher tries to start age of empires.

You know shortcuts, when you choose properties on them they have a field called Start in, in the "start in" field there is the path to the directory where the target file is located. The thing is that my age of empires launcher gets the same error message that you would get if you would have messed up the "start in" field in a shortcut to age of empires.

John, regarding the INIs...

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on August 17, 2006 - 2:47pm

@ John T. Haller
Please don't remove INI support. No offense, but I can't stand your directory layout ("App"... igh. I hate abbreviations), so I've created my own. If you take out the INI support, I'll have to revert to the standard layout. *shudder* I may actually stop updating the launchers if it meant I'd lose INI support.

Another problem with the standard layout is that it puts each of the launchers in a separate directory. You can't really combine various App/Data directories into single folders or you'd probably end up with file/folder name conflicts. I like having all my launchers in a single directory for easy access, which the INIs allow me to do.
