The current Miro Portable (v 0.9.8.1) from Ryan McCue's website has some big errors (leaves half of the profile folder in the host computer, therefore cannot save settings) would anyone be willing to up date his launcher, or does anyone have any work-around suggestions (batch file suggestions?), or even help me fix it on my own?

So, I have a piece of OSS, I've been able to make run off a removable disk.

I installed NSISPortable from the test apps. I zipped the proggie, and chose the option to make an installer from a zip. I renamed it PINsPortable.paf.exe.

Hi, it is available PeaZip 2.1, full changelog here: http://peazip.sourceforge.net/

Most prominent updates are:
1) PeaZip has become a general purpose file and archive manager, allowing to manage items both in the filesystem and in archives. The file manager allow robust file move/copy operations, quick or secure deletion, file hashing or comparison and many other handy functions. (in Tools > Settings, second tab, it is possible to set startup interface if someone prefer the classic 2.0 application's behaviour).
