Portable App Development

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.

For anyone looking for a portable wallpaper changer just use ChaosWallpaper.

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.

Currently I'm testing a version of the SMPlayer launcher that redirects %USERPROFILE%. However, it is well known that bMPlayer creates a folder called .dvdcss in the same directory, and MPlayer is executed by SMPlayer, not SMPlayer Portable. So therefore I would also need to redirect an app I'm not executing. This would probably be only achieved by modifying SMPlayer's code, but I don't know and am not intending to learn C++. I can almost be partly sure that I can make it so that the app I do execute ends up redirecting all other executions. Hm... I'll try that....

Hi,
Inspired by a thread in the ThunderbirdPortable-Forum, I had an idea how to make ThunderbirdPortable the default email-client. There are quite a lot of threads out there in webforums and blogs about this, i didn't find a solution.

I want to present my way here, and would like to know your opinion about it: Does it seem to work save? Could this work for other to? Would it work on other computers (vista), too? And most interessting: could there be made a reg-file-template to make the process easier for other users?

I can't remember if I made a post about this in the past, I know I discussed it with someone before, maybe in #portableapps

Ok, I think it would be great if there was a Bookmarks popup menu on PAM, like the Favorites menu in the Windows Start Menu. It would of course read from the bookmarks.html of the installed FFP. I know the IE Favorites are actually individual url files, and that's how MS does it, but I'm sure someone can right some code to parse the bookmarks.html and display them in a popup.

Hi All,

The developer of FinchSync is struggling to keep up with all the changes in the Mozilla & WM products and is considering opening up his source code.

It is a very useful utility and compliments the Mozilla products well.

If I had the skills I would have offered to bring the project here. I'm hoping that someone here is capable and willing to look into it.

It's a C++ (client), Java (server) app.
