Portable App Development

Someone requested gPodder and I was thinking about working on it but I have a question.

It is coded in python so there is a bunch of .py scripts. All the dependencies look like there included (including python). When ran it compiles the .py scripts. I was wondering when I package it should I include the compiled scripts package it as is?

Hi,
I'm newbie here. Could anybody please point out the error in my testing move:

I use JauntePE030AlphaNB19 trying to portalize a software. Everything works but in the end: (this software tranforms a document into .doc file and automatically calls Winword to open that .doc file.), when it comes to this "automatically calls Winword", error occurs and some msoffice install procesure occurs...

I find out that .doc is saved to folder like ".\jpe\user\apps...", not where I wanted it to be.

Is there anything I can do?

For a while i've been keeping a portable I2P package up to date mainly for my and friends. I think the structure is somewhat a mess and things aren't how they are supposed to be yet.

So, i'll post it here, hopefully get some feedback and make some additions and/or corrections to make it official portable app.

(Just unpack and start "StartPortableApps.exe", then start the launcher to start I2P)

hello,

I have currently found how the language is transfered to the application, through the registry. How is this handled or is it even supported? thanks in advanced.

The key is located in "HKCU\Software\Arora-browser.org\Arora\LanguageManager" and the value is "en_US" by default

As a start I wanted to turn an executable Java JAR into a portable app. I've received permission from the creators, and the app itself is open source.

The JAR doesn't seem to create any registry settings. It creates a .SETTINGS file after the first use, and a .LOG after every puzzle you solve, and both of these files reside in the same directory as the JAR. For simplicity (or what I think is simplicity's sake), I assume one has Java Portable and Java Portable Launcher available (as if they were installed via the PA.c Menu).

DiffPDF(http://soft.rubypdf.com/software/diffpdf) is an open source and cross platform(Qt4) software, can compare two PDF files. It offers two comparison modes: Text and Appearance.
It was developed by Mark Summerfield(http://www.qtrac.eu/diffpdf.html), I just compiled it on Windows.It works on my Windows XP and Windows 7(64-bit).

so far I have not found a way to upload videos to warzone2100 portable. The only alternative I can suggest is to run the pc version unless there is any more input.

Tired after a full week and I'm looking how I work files to the site

I learned the method and made the program easy task for anyone who wants to learn so as not to get tired like me

The program is easy steps and I will brief you if you like

The program shall be established for you the required folders, icons and Help File
The files shall be established by
appinfo
To publish

Expected your response if you want a commentary

Guys.. One small help.. Someone suggested me to look at the sumatra pdf launcher as its basic.. Fine.. Now i want to extend it to another app.. The app's settings have to "moved" to "%LOCALAPPDATA%".. What files are to be included and code to be implemented??? THANKS IN ADVANCE..

After having my PC crash earlier (not PortableApps fault!) it got me thinking. Normally when a portable app is aborted incorrect for some reason, you probably want to restart the app and close it again to fix any issues caused by the incorrect exit of an app to restore proper portability.

John, would it be an idea to have PortableApps menu keep track on started apps and when they have exited incorrect, use the launchers to restore settings by starting and exiting the launchers without starting the actual application?
