Problem when saving registry file using template

Submitted by CrendKing on July 14, 2008 - 9:39pm

I use the 2.6.2 template to make applications portable. I noticed that if I specify multiple entries to $REGKEYS in the header (with ||), after the application terminates, only the first entry is saved to Data directory.

I think the problem is in the CleanReg function, or more specifically, CleanRegLoop section:


; --------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Copy actual registry key to portable folder
; --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem of virus

Submitted by apparle on July 14, 2008 - 2:22am

Some days ago my pen drive was infected by a virus. That virus copied itself to each and every folder with the name of folder. Eg: in the folder 'FirefoxPortable' the main 'FirefoxPortable.exe' was replaced by virus. This happened with each and every portableapp and I had to reinstall everything.
But in some folders where I had renamed the files(folder name and file name different), the virus created a new file which I deleted easily.

So I recommend the wherever possible please make the folder and file names different.

Projectile Portable

Submitted by upnPAD on July 10, 2008 - 10:20pm

For my first PortableApp I thought I'd choose something simple, so I chose a program that calculates the motion of a projectile (thanks to Havvy for suggesting this). Here's the description of the program according to SourceForge: "Projectile motion is a GUI based program that calculates various parameters of projectile motion based on initial velocity and height. It also plots the path of the projectile and can also find the location (x,y) as a function of time and vice versa."

You can find out more about this program here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/projectilecalc/
