Portable App Development

I am trying to convert an application into a portable form.

The application only creates a folder named AppName in %APPDATA%.
My question is, what's the proper way to configure the launcher?

I thought about something like:


[DirectoriesMove]
AppName=%APPDATA%\AppName


My question is, how it handles the case %APPDATA%\AppName already defined?
From documentation I get it is first coped and kept as backup and then the local copy is copied.

Many programs use user Documents folder for store their user data (ex: UserDocuments/MyAppUserData).
I want this program not use user Documents, but the ProgramFolder/Documents/MyAppUserData.

What have I to use, a launcher or a shortcut?
What is the correct syntax?

Thanks.

What's the easiest way to add the path for one PA app to another? I have the following PA apps:

* VSCode Portable
* Git Portable
* NodeJS Portable

Right now, I'm getting around the PATH issue by essentially stuffing all the paths into my GitPortable Environment section in the launcher ini and launching apps from there, but that gets reset each time I rebuild Git Portable.

I see that there is an AppNamePortable.ini in the Other/Source folder, but that doesn't seem to be able to override environment variables.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, how to open PAF file?

Note: Sorry if some UI text doesn't match, I'm using a Spanish translation.

Downloaded the app "winMd5Sum" from the main UI: "Apps -> Get More apps -> By title"
After downloading, "winMd5Sum" was not showing on the Apps installed apps list.

I found an issue on the ini file:
Homepage=PortableApps.com/apps/utilites/wincdemu-portable
Must be:
Homepage=PortableApps.com/apps/utilities/wincdemu-portable
Note "utilites" typo.

From the "About" window:
Version 17.1.1
Windows 10 (Version 10.0, Build 18363, 64-bit edition)

the launcher does nothing, the log says everything was right and there's no errors, then why?

Hi all,

but Italian language do not appears.

I've seen that no one is discussing a portable version of Pokémon Uranium (I don't mean the "portable" zip created by the Uranium devteam, I mean a true portable app), so I'm here to ask:

Would a portable version of Pokémon Uranium be possible? If so, someone please develop it.

extend OR expand Favorite to several screens:
You can have Max 19 rows of Favorite Apps in main screen... is there a way or app that can extend/expand to 38, 57, or more Favorite apps in different Favorite screens [screen1, screen2, etc., or alphabetically sorted apps]? I have 40 Favorite apps, but just the very first 19 show up on the initial main screen... TKS A LOT, Joe

Hi to all:
I am trying to portabilize some PC games to transport in a big pendrive. Some of them requires a XAudio2_#.dll for ingame audio. But the question is that these files need 3 registry keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. These keys contains a full path to file (C:\Windows\system32\XAudio2_#.dll) and I don't know the game detect the file dll. Any chance to do it?
Thanks
