Portable App Development

Is there a recommended method for packaging Python applications?

In particular, I was planning to package TiddlyWeb.

As a first step I have created some basic scripts that make it reasonably straightforward to set up TiddlyWeb on Windows, using Portable Python.

(I hope I got this in the right place)

Hello, I'm creating my own portable version of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2(hence I don't follow official specs or anything) and I've run into a problem. I got this piece of code:


${registry::MoveKey} "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames\" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames-backup\" $R0
Sleep 100


Which works as expected. However, the opposite does nothing:


${registry::MoveKey} "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames-backup\" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames\" $R0
Sleep 100


CMD blocked by admin no more!!!!

More info + Download= Command Prompt (Revized)

I think I got all the bugs out, So let me now of any.

But I had the problem of getting a CMD block at school because of admin. Now with the new revised version the admin can't block your portable version of CMD and it's still truly portable.

I'm doing a piece of NSIS at the moment to backup registry keys or values found by a search in the registry.
As it's almost finished, I wanted to do a quick test, but the NSIS compiler always gives me these warnings

12 warnings:
  unknown variable/constant "{_SearchFor}" detected, ignoring (RegistrySearchBackup.nsh:54)
  unknown variable/constant "{_SearchFor}" detected, ignoring (RegistrySearchBackup.nsh:56)
  unknown variable/constant "{_Type}" detected, ignoring (RegistrySearchBackup.nsh:59)

Hello,

I ran into appcompactor and found it easy to use upx gui.

I am wondering whether it would be suitable or not to include optipng inside it; that software is designed to minimize the size of portable network graphics without any loss of detail.

under windows in a batch file I can do
for /r . %%G in (*.png) do optipng -o7 %%G

under linux, find . -iname "*.png" -exec optipng -o7 {} \;

It works pretty well and can be useful to reduce even more the size of some portable apps.

Have a nice day and thanks for offering that application,

Sorry if this seems short, I'm on the run atm.

Could somebody please get me a springboard icon? The default launcher icon in Ubuntu would be great, if somebody could get it. If not, don't worry about it; I'll try to get it later today.

I've got a new app ready to go except for the icon, and a springboard is just what I need.

Thanks!

Hi,
PortableApps.com should create a portable version of Adobe Flash Player. It's just a recommendation.

One of the last plug-in needed for Unicode NSIS, is MoreInfo !

I've tried to contact the developer, but he doesn't seem to be actively developing this plug-in any more since 2006.

As it is developed with Borland Delphi v7.1.1, I'm not able to do anything with this.

Can anybody help to modify this plug-in to be used with Unicode NSIS ???

I'm working on NVDA right now; it's pretty simple settings-wise (everything is self-contained), but it has a DLL's (IAccessible2Proxy.dll) that invariably gets locked by Explorer. Any ideas on breaking the lock?
I thought of doing a regsvr32 /u call, but I'm using PAL, which doesn't seem to support that kind of thing yet.
