Portable App Development

What I want to know is what requirements does my app have to meet to get the PortableApps.com "seal of approval"? Not just app requirements (directory structure, etc.), but installer requirements (command line switches, etc.)? I know there are threads all over the place about this, but it'd be nice to have all the specifications in one place...

We really need formal documentation for this.

Possible to re-size Portable Apps Menu? The idea of portableapps is great but I would like to use them on a UMPC that has a 800x480 screen and I cannot see the top half of the Portable Apps Menu. Is there a solution (eg a startup ini file?)

ok, i'm wanting to make an app for PortableApps Developers to upx any given folder with the click of a button or two. what i need is a complete list of all file types that can be upx'd. i know i can just do *.* but when you have something that has a ton of small files it takes a while. the upx website doesn't list everything, and all i know of at the moment are .exe, .dll, .pyd, .irc, .dcp, .com, .sys, .pe. please either post a link to a complete list or post other file types you know are upxable, thanks.

My question is this, i am making an app portable that leaves its appdata in the
C:\Documents and Settings\****\local settings\application data folder, now when i try to get this to save in my data folder it always puts it in the C:\ instead of where i want it to go. What would i change in this part of my script:

!if "${REDIRECTUSERPROFILE}" = "TRUE"
		IfFileExists "$DATADIR\UserProfile\*.*" +2
			CreateDirectory "$DATADIR\UserProfile" ; create directory for portable user profile

Hello!
This time I've build in a new feature: you could change the theme size with just two (:-() clicks. First, click the swap button (the upper right one with the two arrows), then click the one thereunter with the check mark. The first click renames the files and folders, the second click refreshes the skin.

Hi all,

I'm just new to this forum and i would like to know where i can learn the needed info to start make my portable program?
IS there is any manual or help pages that i can learn from it?

Thanks

I finally broke down and started to learn AutoIt3's DllCall function, and NSIS's related System plugin. They're hard

This was all prompted by the problem I was having with Vista and RDTools. I needed a way to correctly retrieve the paths for Windows special folders (SendTo, My Documents, etc). Since I fixed it in AutoIt, I figured I'd do an NSIS version too. NSIS has a lot of these builtin, but it doesn't have them all.

ok here's the thing. i want to make a gui using the nsdialogs plugin (which is what digitxp used for his gamesuit portable) with a listbox, buttons, etc. This is done completely in functions without using section main. my question is how do i use the two together. if i write the gui menu, how can i integrate it into the normal PA nsis launcher? i was playing around with it trying before but had no luck. sorry, i'm okay at scripting but i'm still a programming noob

my question is can an app be portable if it requires .NET 2.0. I found a little program i wanted to paf but it needs .NET 2.0 and most computers have .NET 2.0 or newer. So that dependency might not be any different from our apps having the dependency of needing to run on Windows. tell me what you think
