Portable App Development

Ok, I think we've all recognized the lack of a portable video editor. In looking around, it looks like t@b ZS4 (the zweistein executable) has a friendly license and good support.

In posting at the forum, I received the following information:
1) it already has a .zip "installer";
2) purports not to use any registry values;
3) it *does* however register at least one dll using regsvr32.

I understand that last might be a deal-killer? The dev suggests something like:

I have put this into the .paf format for those of you looking for an ID3 tag program. Thought about doing this when another post (https://portableapps.com/node/5299) had to be removed. In the meantime the launcher has been posted as a singular product to abide with the forum rules.

EasyTAG (GNU General Public License) is a utility for viewing and editing tags for MP3, MP2, MP4/AAC, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MusePack and Monkey's Audio files. Its simple and nice GTK+ interface makes tagging easier.

Hi!

It's my first message in these forums, so If I write it in a wrong place, please put this message where necessary.

I have a problem, I'll explain you:

I use Adagide to create my programs in Ada Language. Adagide is free software for programming (I study computer engineering).

The thing is that I need it to be portable, so I have used "Portable Apps Creation Master 1.0".

Just a thought...

Any chance of an auto-updater for the 'suite' being developed?

Summat that can tell you there is a new version of a PAF program you already have installed? Maybe even handle the download/install of it too

With the move towards common files for several purposes (GTK, Java, etc), I wonder how these are going to be kept up to date in the future? Gaim, for example, requires a much more recent version of GTK than it did in previous incarnations. So if using a common files folder becomes fairly standard as a space saving technique, will the programs that use them still come with them in their own folder? Or will it be neccesarry to install required files seperately?

Is there any reason why Windows Server 2003 cannot verify the publisher of PortableApps?

Can the scrolling of the menu go both ways with the mouse wheel? I've got so many I'm getting RSI going to the x-apps at the bottom

Great project!

Hi, I've been playing with NSIS for a few days now, and am trying to portablize an app that I would like to carry around with me on my flash drive.

I need some suggestions/leads on how to handle DLLs by the app in question. I found that putting all the DLLs in the app's directory seemed to work fine. Is that acceptable practice? Or should I have it in a separate directory and have the .NSI file tell the launcher where to find it?

Hello, they excuse but I do not speak english and I am using a translator. I am Hispanic and liked to contribute to me of some form in which the program or the Web site was in Spanish I wait for its answers and commentaries.

I was wondering when will we get the script that compresses exes and dlls?
