Portable App Development

Hi,

The app store integration with the portable apps launcher (Get More Apps; Check For Updates) is a fantastic idea. Now, as I've started to portabilize a number of apps for my personal and professional use such as:

• MediathekView: A portable java client to watch and download German free-tv
• MitTec Icon Explorer: A tool to extract icons
• CPU-Z: A system information tool

John, et al.:

I'm planning to put up a dev test of the Android SDK, but it requires openJDK to run.

Accordingly, I'm wondering as to the status of OpenJDK Portable. The last reference I've found to it is in the Eclipse 3.7.1 thread, where it has been indicated as being in testing. Are there any updates that can be made at this time, or should I be bundling the JDK for now?

I'm glad to announce that PeaZip 4.7 was released yesterday.
It improves efficiency in queuing multiple instances, introduces calculation of password strength and potential compression, and improves random password generator: http://peazip.sourceforge.net/changelog.html

Chris Morgan or kAlug, here's a patch for PAL (tip) that allows for environment substitution in LanguageFile:Entry and LanguageFile:TrimRight. The same can be applied to TrimLeft.

Why is this patch needed? See here.

According to the website, TrueCrypt claims to be open source, but it does not appear to be a GPL license. It is stated at the top of the page here. As such, does one need to get permission before creating a launcher, and posting it here? I wasn't sure because it's not GPL, AFAIK. Thanks...

I've decided to update Python to the lastest version, using the files from PortablePython.com (I've already asked and received permission). However, I've run into a problem. In the official IRC channel, someone pointed me to a part of the documentation, I missed.

I've looked at the Python Portable from both tanisthalon & TaffinFoxcroft. Here's my problem, in both cases, they have 2 launchers that can be launched, but only 1 is listed in the appinfo.ini. This makes the PA Menu, not display it right.

Assumed that both in the PA.com Menu is installed jPortable and on the host PC is Java locally installed. Furthermore both installed Java versions should differ from each other. In the PA.c Menu I have installed an application, which can use Java but does not depend on its being available. Accordingly the necessary command will be:

[Activate]
Java=find

My question is now, which JRE the app will used? Or must I determine in an additional command, which of the both JRE the app should use?

Hi,

Is it possible to make a special version with irfanview's misc components ?

I use often jpg_transform.dll in thumbnails' windows to make a JPG lowless rotation with my files.

Thanks a lot for your work

Alright, being new to these forums, I don't exactly know where to put this. This is my first post, but it'll help those who have been looking for this.

While Digsby, the IM Client, is not currently supported by the PortableApps.com platform, the Digsby official installer recently added a 'Portable' option. The Digsby project has recently announced that it will be going open source soon, and I hope that will allow PortableApps.com to add Digsby to the platform natively.

I've been thinking about the current kind of the numbering of revisions and I have come to the conclusion, that it is somehow inconclusive. Instead of starting with the number 1 for first revision, this first revision gets the number 2. It's absolutely weird. It may be true, that this number 2 indicate on the second and simultaneously revised version of the program, but it still remains the first actual revision.
