Portable App Development

what is the language environment variable for the upcoming platform that many of the apps are now including updates for? i see that Keepass checks "PortableApps.comLocaleWinName" but TaskCoach checks "PortableApps.comLocaleglibc". also what will be returned from the variable? or should i even include it in my program yet?

I've written up some information about silent installers for WinPcap. Wireshark currently offers a portable version, but it's bothersome to go through the process of installing WinPcap all the time.

http://paperlined.org/apps/wireshark/winpcap_silent_install.html

Basically, you extract these files from the winpcap installer:

• npf.sys (there are three versions, for different architectures): copy it to %windir%\system32\drivers\ (unfortunately, this is the one change you have to make to the local machine)

that could it do a different wallpaper each time? I know that right now, if you put the proper .bmp file in the pictures directory, it'll pop it in as the new wallpaper.
I've got a few scores of neat pics that could be a wallpaper that I might want to use.
It doesn't have to be random, or it can be random, or it could be partially random or whathaveyou, just that the wallpaper changes most of the time.

Too hard to script in it? Maybe even add a Wallpaper folder in the Pictures folder for it to pull from instead of just a file reference?

A long time I was dreaming about an organic theme. Now I made it.

Hello,

Just Cos I Love This Devt Project ...

I keep these THREE (3) scripts in the same installation folder as my PortableApps (ie. E:\PortableApps). This allows me to do quick, consistent, repeatable application installs on the various PCs around the house, at work or otherwise (just in the slim chance I do not have my USB drive with me).

===== Make.bat
@echo off

SET CPATH="c:\AddProg\PortableApps"
SET DPATH="d:\Downloads"

SET XPATH=%CPATH%
SET DESKTOP="c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\PortableApps"

REM del all old directories
rmdir /s /q %XPATH%

REM mkdir

Im wondering when you are looking for the environment variable for a program, for when you use "System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("APPDATA", "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY").r0'" what exactly would you be looking for in the source of that program so you can replace "APPDATA" with what it uses to store its data in its location it defines. Is it just like variable or the name of the folder where the data is being stored?? Thanks in advance for any help

There's a lot of large apps in the Beta forums, and it takes longer to both download and install them. The PAUpdater has this problem too, it downloads then installs. This wastes time. Time could be saved by making a progressive web installer, that downloads one zip at a time while extracting them also. This saves time especially on a newer computer, with decent memory but slow internet (like Patrick's PC :P). Just the Data and Other dirs would be included. Then the AppName folder would be downloaded while extracting.

does anyone know of another place besides these forums to get free human translations for open source apps? i don't even think there is anyone on these forums who translates italian or chinese.

in the case that people who can translate on these forums sees this, the translations still needed are:
