Portable App Development

I would like to say thanks to John for helping me to build the package of the FreeCommander XE 2014 PortableApps.
You can find the download on the site http://freecommander.com/fc_downl2_en.htm.

Marek

I was just now on the Free Commander website and saw that they had a PortableApps app format download for:

- FreeCommanderPortable_2014_Build_650.paf.exe -

http://www.freecommander.com/fc_downl2_en.htm

This isn't the same as your site as it is stating
version 2009.02b

I was wondering if this is a legit download or whether I should wait for the PortableApps.com site to be updated, if it is to be done, as this version may be a bit pre-mature.

thanks in advance for you help

I have I problem with making an plugin of SciTe for AHK_L. According to the readme of SciTe the directory needs to look like...
AutoHotkey

|_______ AutoHotkey.chm
|_______ SciTE
_________|______ scite.exe
_________|______ etc...

But the result I get is....
AutoHotkey
|_______ AutoHotkey.exe
|_______ AutoHotkey.chm
|_______ SciTE
_________|______ App
_________________|___ Scite
______________________|____ scite.exe
______________________|____ ...

As I checked the manual of PortableApps.comLauncher,
i didn't find a section in launcher.ini to setup charset for portable applications.

So i just wrote some customized nsis script to export charset environment variable.
Hopefully it is usefull for you.

The logic is:

Check PAL:LanguageCustom value,
if not set use English as default.

Use the result as a key to get value from section [LanguageCharsetMap]
and export the value as PAL:CharsetCustom.

If not found then use DefaultCharset in section [Language]
or UTF-8 as fallback.

Code is below:

I've created an installation package using the PortableApps Installer.

But when I start the package, it wants to install to the same folder where original files were stored, which is in my development folder on partition D.

How do I tell PortableApps Installer to use a different folder (for example: C:\MyApp)? Couldn't find a value that specifies default installation folder in the installer.ini file.

Maybe nobody said it (or nobody wants to attract flames) but the PortableApps folder structure is unnecessary complicated. I see absolutely no reason for so many subfolders, some of which enter the App space itself. It can all be made much simpler.

- Why would I need a separate launcher app? Most of apps can be launched without a separate launcher program. If necessary, a simple symbolic link (shortcut) would suffice. And if it doesn't suffice, then a launcher can be specified in the special ini file.

Hi,
I installed PNotes on my pc. The fonts are too small default Microsoft San Serif, 8pt. I change font type & size for Content and Caption but the Content never updates itself. I can't find any other way to accomplish it. I also have a few notes with 'Untitled' options... and don't know how to change that either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Charles

Hi. I have a program on my pc that I use at school. Its called Pcschematic and it is a CAD-program. Is it possible for me to convert the .exe file to a .paf??
Hope for ansvers.

Some packages - maybe it´s directx or redistributables - just favors using the drive with the biggest space as temp data folder without any permission and sometimes the temp data is just left there. Maybe PortableApps with admin permission could prevent sneaky crap happening to the external drives
