Portable App Development

Hi there!

i love portable apps soooo much. but i have one problem, always new versions
coming out of the apps and ill have more to check for updates and unzip them as i can use the tools.
how about a special tool, in it you can select your important unzipped used portableapps and search for updates, then it will auto download, unzip and so on.
i think it will be good if its seperated from the portable apps launcher.

many thanks to you all!

Ok. I have this all about working know. But still having a little problems. Got a few apps that I need the presetting to write/over right the files & to registry before launch of app and then backup after launch and written to the "data" folder.

I have the need files pre-set files & the portableapp.reg key in "app\defaultdata" folder. I need that information to be place back in reg and the files to be placed in a specific location and read on launching app.

What do I need to add to the launcher ini to do this?

Thanks

There may be cases where admin privileges are only needed for optional (and possibly very specific functions of) sub-programs or plugins of the main program. That is, cases where the main program doesn't need it. In those cases, it's a major no-no to keep bothering the user. A try_once option would only ask the question one time.

installer.ini might be an alternative place for such an option.

Please consider this.

Explorer++ made for your portable pleasure..!

This is my first go at this.. seemed pretty damn easy.

Download

It seems some Test Releases are hosted in your own host. Is there a way to host there too or is it only reserved for members of Management?

Please rephrase* the word "this" in the following line:

See [Environment] for details on that technique. If possible, avoid using this as it will make relative files passed through the command line fail unless it is only a single file given (which will be automatically corrected).

The documentation doesn't state which of them should be used by default for new apps. Is there any reason not to still use PortableApps.com Installer?

Whatever I put in DefaultData does not get copied to Data. Am I supposed to manually trigger it in launcher.ini? If so, the help has nothing about this.

I did find this unlinked part in v2.1's Segments:

Settings: Management of Data\settings and copying default data from App\DefaultData to the Data directory

Why in the PortableApps menu bar is not possible to add other links to personal files contained on the USB key. the same as "music", "Documents ", it would be nice to create more personal, especially as there is enough room on the right side of the menu.
