Portable App Development

When Posting a New "Dev Test", "alpha, beta, gamma" or what ever you want to call it,
i.e. a new app for the first time, not Dev1 to Dev2 etc.

Please include All the following information:

What is the state of things so far?

What testing have YOU already done?
Is the app currently working [for you]?
Are Files/folders left behind?, If so, where? How did you check?
Are Registry Settings left behind? If so, where? How did you check?
Did you test as Admin/Limited user?
OS's you tested on ...
If your Launcher is based on an existing one, which one?

I'm glad to see all the new activity and new progress comming on the site and it's apps. And it's also nice that the site seems to have gone more and more away from just John working and on to multiple devolpers on apps. I do have one request though. John would it be possible to bring back the updates? I don't think we really need them every single month but every 2 or 3 weeks I think would be appropriate. Also I made a post about it earlier but I didn't get any responses. What is the rule for app themeing?

Yes, I still want to make an app uninstaller manager for the Platform and since xopher (maggotb0y) has a system of plugins implemented, I could write it in NSIS or AHK and it'll integrate into the future platform. But I would still have to know how the menu gets all the apps stuff. I managed to open up the source (after realizing that I should open the .pas file instead of the .dcu). Of course, I had no real experience in GUI structuring and had no idea how to find the section/method that finds all the names of the menu items.

If not a silent installation, is there at least a command line parameter like "path" (e.g. *paf.exe -path "c:\myportableapp", which would automatically write "c:\myportableapp" in the GUI extractor)?

Hello everybody,

The last two days I made a theme set which buzzed in my head for weeks. I'm very glad that I could realize it for orginal PAM 1.1. Of course they can be also use with Mods...

See you at #portableapps,
MrE

when I open my menu my applications that are installed as the show. exe would like to know how to open them as folders, already seen in some images and that this possible.

another question, I tried to change the icon that is in the tray but can not, can you help me on that too?

someone could help me?

Both the English and the German Firefox Accessibility Extension page on PortableApps.com link to an outdated version of this add-on that is not usable with FF3. Please change the links to the current version.

I was wondering if I could just rename the folder of the application that I am trying to make portable in order for it to not overwrite settings. I know that this is a quick hack but is it acceptable to do this? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Session

P.S. Ask if you don't understand what I mean. I don't think its very clear but I was unsure how to word it.

I just performed a search browse on for beginner forum topics, here's the relevant results:

1. https://portableapps.com/node/14148
2. https://portableapps.com/node/13702
3. https://portableapps.com/node/13627

5. https://portableapps.com/node/12488
6. https://portableapps.com/node/11959
7. https://portableapps.com/node/11997

That's just the tip of the iceberg (it took 5 minutes to find these). We really need a how to.

You say how to submit a release to you but not how to start it from scratch.

Let's say there's an open source program that I know exactly which files it copies over and which registry changes it makes. How do I take this program and put it under your "portable enforcer" launcher?

Also, do I have a choice whether I want to undo the program's registry changes or to simply block them in the first place?

Thanks!
