sub-menu

Submitted by iortanca on August 31, 2008 - 5:55pm

As many portable applications are being available day by day, portableapps menu is getting insufficient. I think developing a new suit, capable of sub-menus would be very useful. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION

Hi guys!
This theme includes some "funny" sounds simply played by clicking one of the colored buttons on the left side.
They could be replaced easily by replacing, the sound icon could be replaced too.
So, if you are bored, play a sound so everyone is looking at you Wink

JkDefrag 3.35 - TrueCrypt

Submitted by Travis Carrico on August 29, 2008 - 10:24am

well JkDefrag 3.35 is out and i need to upgrade. this release now supports truecrypt drives etc. i'm going to be pretty busy this weekend so if someone possibly has both truecrypt and autoit installed and some free time on their hands maybe you could save me some time by telling me what autoit detects truecrypt drives as. you can use this script

$var = DriveGetDrive( "all" )
If NOT @error Then
	For $i = 1 to $var[0]
		MsgBox(4096,"Drive " & $i, $var[$i] & " is " & DriveGetType($var[$i]))
	Next
EndIf

Second Life Launcher

Submitted by logomage on August 27, 2008 - 5:20am

I read that Second Life keeps all its files in the one program folder when installed on a pc.

So I took the batch script suggested by The Travelin' Librarian (http://www.travelinlibrarian.info/2007/01/second-life-portable.html), modified it to run silently by removing the pauses and then compiled it as a ghost exe with the icon extracted from the secondlife.exe itself.

I then created a sub-folder in the PortableApps folder on my usb stick into which I put this ghost exe and a copy of the Second Life program folder installed on my pc.

Where is Portable Apps Menu Source Code?

Submitted by Dragnovich on August 26, 2008 - 9:38pm

Hello I had been using this program for a year and Love it!!

A friend of me askme about the license, reading the license.txt file says this:

"The source code for this product is available to you under the terms of the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE v2 (included below) from PortableApps.com"....

Reading this, as far I understand, I can download it, modify it and even create, and distribute a "personal flavor" of the portable apps program (keeping the respective credits).

I try to find the PortableAppsMenu Source codes, but can't find them... so where are they?

OpenOffice.org Template/database automation script

Submitted by jaocon on August 26, 2008 - 3:04am

I am trying to develop a database/script and am not sure the easiest/best direction to start in since I am not a programmer/developer. What I am trying to accomplish appears that it can be done several ways but I would like a developer's advice. I have an oOo template file which needs to update regularly. Some text is static other text would change weekly or would need to check for event dates to see if they are past (for example).

Rerouting system paths

Submitted by dantmusicman on August 25, 2008 - 10:41pm

Hello, I have been following PortableApps.com for a while, and decide to try to portablize a few apps for myself.

The one program that I am trying to portablize writes to a few system folders on install, for example, the Fonts folder. I'm trying to figure out how to handle this, i.e., can I reroute the path in the launcher, or do I have to make it temporarily install the files, and then delete them upon exit. Or maybe there is a third option?

Thanks in advance for your help.

How long does it take to update a portable app if the application it's based on is updated?

Submitted by Donnie on August 25, 2008 - 1:40pm

I wrote that I wanted to try Gimp portable.

Gimp 2.4.7 is released. Now I would like to know how long it takes to make the new version portable. Gimp is just the reason why I asked. You don't need to hurry and this is no complaint. I wait if it doesn't take long. Otherwise I try 2.4.6 portable.

As the question
"How long does it take to update a portable app if the application it's based on is updated?" should make clear I would like a general answer. Average or maximum... what ever you can tell me. Thanks

Keep up this amazing work.
