Portable App Development

I initiated porting muCommander to PortableApps (https://portableapps.com/node/51352) but I don't have an expertise to further the project. It is a Java application universal to all OS. Currently, UTF-8 support in file name is not working properly, and FTP and WEBDAV support has not been tested. Althought the development has been suspended for a long time its rich set of optons is still very comparative and competitive.

I was looking at the platform changelog and noticed that 12.0.5 [2014-09-10] "ADDED: Ability to create a local Start menu/tile shortcut icon". What is that feature, and how do I access it?

This might be of some interest - a portable CMS. It's HTML5 file based, no SQL required, and comes in Apache/Linux and Windows versions.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/hyperframe/files/

Has an online page editor using CKEditor which works on the actual page as you view it. Using the Windows version it's possible to make a website that runs entirely from a USB stick - Handy for presentations and the like. Will also run under XAMPP portable with a few minor adjustments.

When I set my new Acer UHD-Notebook with open PortableApps into the sleeping mode, and will start it again, than the portable apps window is smaller, not clickable and in the left uper background.

Nothing helps, only a resart of my hole notebook.
Does anybody knows a solution here?

Hi,
I want to make a BATCH script to "portabilize" a program that doesn't need more than "users" rights (doesn't need "Admin" rights/privileges). That program reads registry keys and values in HK_LOCAL_MACHINE to define some options and variables.

I would like to force that program to read HK_CURRENT_USER (or any other registry key that doesn't need more than "users" rights) instead of HK_LOCAL_MACHINE because I don't want my BATCH script to need elevated privileges (and call an UAC prompt) to set up my program.

Hi,

is it possible to use this line 'AdvancedExtract1Filter=folder\appname.exe' but without including the src directory?

AdvancedExtract1To=App\AppName
AdvancedExtract1Filter=folder\appname.exe

... the rusulting structure should be: 'App\AppName\appname.exe'
but it always includes the src folder like this 'App\AppName\folder\appname.exe'

Greetings, QWiiK

Hi folks,

is there a built-in possibility for making apps portable that doesn't have a directly startable gui?
I'm thinking about shell-extension based applications like Tortoise SVN or MP3ext.

What I would expect is something like a traybar icon that turns the shell extension ON, if closed, it turns the shell extension OFF.

Greetings, Jan

Good morning!

A app store in the registry this key

"KeyName"="C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Appname\\Image.bmp"

How I can set the
keyname= %APPDATA%\\AppName\\Image.bmp?

Thanks

Sorry for the stupid question but i'm developing my first portableapps.

My app need to move a dir and a file:

[Environment]
FullAppDir=%PAL:AppDir%\TeraCopy

[FilesMove]
Settings\Options.ini= %FullAppDir%
[DirectoriesMove]
Settings\Teracopy=%APPDATA%\Teracopy

All is OK.

At the start of program file and dir are moved as expected.
At the end of program file and dir return to their place.

How can I take a public domain book and convert it into a portable app?
Or, better yet, can someone else do that?
