Portable App Development

Both the English and the German Firefox Accessibility Extension page on PortableApps.com link to an outdated version of this add-on that is not usable with FF3.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

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!

Okay I know we were concerned about this a while ago but I think it's time that we reevaluate themeing regulations for apps. I know for a while that the portable apps themes for regular apps like Jooleem were kicked to the curb for legal issues (I have no problems with this just a statement.). Well it seems that themes have started to appear for apps. I know we have 3 soon to be 4 themes for stickies that have been released at the stickies homepage.

Hello!
This time we're trying a new project. We designed a theme for PAM Mod R31, but we needing a picture made by you! So everyone could get a custom styled theme on a simple way. There's also a How-To and some samples.

At the risk of looking like the type of person that wants an app updated as soon as it's released, I wanted to mention this just in case nobody has noticed it yet.

I was looking at the pdftk builder website looking for an editor for a friend last night and noticed that pdftk builder 3.5.3 was released on June 7th.

According to the website it's just to fix a bug associated with large fonts in Windows.

Is there a specification available for the discovery of the locations of user-owned content, or will I have to just wing it and blindly hope that they exist at Driver:\Documents\Music etc etc.

Some quick background...

As of Perl 5.10.0 there is now in-principle support for "relocation" (moving the Perl install location from one place to another).

(forgive the long post, it's a big concept)

Okay, so I've built some very rudimentary plug in framework into the latest experimental version of geek.menu, and pulled out background picture setting from the main code, and implemented it as a plugin. I'm hoping that this framework (or at least a much improved version of it) will work it's way in to a future version of PAM, assuming we ever get past the "hey would you like to help out with future versions?" stage of cooperation.
