Hey everybody.

I'm just finishing up what I hope will be the last beta of Xenon. I'm currently waiting for some word from NeoRame about the icons I sent to him (for Hover/Disabled states).

I was wondering what features everybody wants that are not implemented in the latest beta.

Fire away.

Any ideas for portable apps? I am always at a loss for ideas, and I need something to program.

Yeah I know alot of Mozilla apps are TMed, and I wanted to make Mozilla Prism portable, but I am not gonna make a fork, so I was gonna construct a launcher for it, I can't use Prism in the launcher's name, correct?

I would get permission from Mozilla but it seems like that it took John a great, arduous feat just to get permission...

While using the installer code from Toucan for one of my latest apps in beta, BonkEnc Portable I'm trying to change the way the installer writes the language of the actual application to it's settings depending on the language chosen from the installer, I'm having trouble, and would appreciate some help.

This is the code from Toucan I'm changing

;=== Set Language
StrCmp $LANGUAGE "1031" 0 +3 ;German
WriteINIStr $INSTDIR\Data\Settings.ini "General" "Language" "wxLANGUAGE_GERMAN"
Goto RefreshPortableAppsMenu
StrCmp $LANGUAGE "1036" 0 +3 ;French


THIS IS OBSOLETE. Do not bother trying to download or use it (it's gone, anyway). Use the PortableApps.com Launcher instead.

I'm fiddling with a launcher and am curious how to check for a specific application installed.

In my case I want to check for Firefox Portable (and other compatible browsers) installed and use it to open a html file, otherwise default to the default browser.

Does PA use some ini file I could query the locations of installed apps?

I'm looking a way to use the PA preferred application to open the file and might take in account any changed foldernames or multiple versions installed.

John,

Just wanted to touch base and see where you are with the Wireshark Portable that you alluded to in another post.

I contributed the U3 packaging for Wireshark and have recently been working on a Portable Apps version - before seeing your comment. (Is there somewhere else I could find out what was in progress?)

My version is very simple - just packaging, no code changes required to WS itself. It takes the same simple/dumb approach for WinPcap as the U3 version - just runs the installer if it can't detect WinPcap is already installed, and removes it when it's done.

Trick or threat!
