Portable App Development

The PortableApps launchers already get the process id in order to monitor for the process close to do cleanup. The launchers also already support getting and passing arguments.
I would like to suggest that the launchers support a /exit argument which if received would use the same close process command that windows uses when shutting down.
This would allow menu apps like PAM/PStart/ASuite to close the applications when the menu is closed. Assuming the functionality will be added to PAM eventually.

Is it possible to add more than three Apps in AppLauncher?

I have convey, lost, and Notezilla... need to add KeePass and ASuite (just tested ASuite and I'm going to give it an opportunity since there is no new version of PAM yet... is not as pretty as PAM but at list I can organize my apps).

Application Manager Portable (AMP) (planning stage)

A Microsoft Word document about AMP is available for download here. A SourceForge.net project has been created, and the website is under development.

Current developers include:

• MIISIM
• Deuce
• rmccue
• simeon
• thibeaz
• InsideLine
• Have Some Patience

;original
DefaultDestination:
StrCpy $INSTDIR "\${SHORTNAME}"

in the above case if you run the exe it will setup an $INSTDIR like this:

\MyApp

which does not work by default - you have to "browse" to a folder first. it will install fine from the PortableApps Menu, but you can't just run the EXE from anywhere else without browsing.

;modified
DefaultDestination:
StrCpy $INSTDIR "$exedir\${SHORTNAME}"

in this modified code, it will install correctly under the PA Menu AND you can also run it from any location (without having to browse).

First of all, thank you so much for this community and this software. I love the concept of portable apps.

Now, for my question. I'd like to run the xampplite package (needing only apache, mysql, and php) from my local system with local access only. That is localhost alone with no external network access at all.

I've performed two modifications so far:

Building upon the great work that Klonk is doing with his Portable Application Template version 1.9.1 (found here: https://portableapps.com/node/6709), I took it one step further and make a full-blown launcher that can be configured just by editing an ini file.

If you have a few moments take a look at it here:

hey all,

ok i love opera, niff niff with firefox, and hate IE. Ive got FF portable on my PAM, however i just found Opera@usb which id rather use.

now to get to my point;
Im a noob developer (well worst than that, ive never developed before! i dont know anything botu scripting but i have written html and interpretted php before, which makes it easy for me to understand code...) so i need some help.

now to actually get to my point (i hope);

Using my generic PortableApp Launcher (https://portableapps.com/node/6924) I configured a Freemind
setup, available here: http://thebabineaus.com/software/FreemindPortable/FreemindPortable.rar

I rolled the Freemind version back to the stock version 0.9 beta9 downloadable from the website to
demonstrate the new and improved launcher The more people test the latest version the faster we
get to version 1.0!

If your java.exe isn't in PortableApps\jre\bin, then you will have to modify the ini file, replacing

I just had an idea:
If I did a backup this morning and I do one in the evening, too, then it prompts you whether you want to overwrite the old one or not. If I say NO it aborts.
Why not making a prompt to change the name instead of just aborting the process?

I don't know whether this has been mentioned/requested before but I just wanted to mention it.

Could someone who has done this please tell me every last detail about the coding, syntax, and packing, I have programs such as Apophysis that I would like to have on my portable apps (which I use multiple times daily) because of my fracal art that I also do on a daily basis. I know this is alot to ask and I am being very general and vague, but if you have any info for me at all, please either post here or email me at drigger01@gmail.com.
