Portable App Development

I finally figured out how those splashes work in the PortableApps (GIMP, Stellarium) and TuxPaint. TuxPaint's splash is compiled of three pictures; title.png, title-credits.png, and title-tuxpaint.png. title.png is a Tux holding a paintbrush, title-credits.png is the credits (New Breed Software & Tux4Kids), and title-tuxpaint.png is for the title (Tux Paint). If anyone would be nice enough to make a portable edition splash, I'd be really happy.

Hi!

I've been trying to create a PAF installer for Eclipse but I go the following error while executing it. I took the installer script from 7-Zip Portable and I use it to create some PAF installers already but this is not working with Eclipse.

The error is:

File: failed opening file "..\..\App\Eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.platform.source_3.3.3.r33x_r20080129-_19UEl7Ezk_gXF1kouft\src\org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.registry_3.2.100.v20070316\runtime_registry_compatibilitysrc.zip"

ok, i can't access the registry at this one computer. will programs still run if i create a portable thing?

Ok, so I know that there are updated versions of programs. But I don't want to download each one, one by one. So is it possible to have a suite of all the updated programs? Oh, and I am talking about the Standard Suite PA. And to add to that, could it be possible to have a suite with all of the apps available?

I wanted to get some opinions on including the instructions for the PortableApps.com Installer within the appinfo.ini files directly, which should eliminate the need for coding installers for most developers. It'll still be using the PortableApps.com Installer as it is now and it will still be GPLed with exceptions (and more exceptions with 1.0), but the code will be autogenerated. I'm thinking the following section at the bottom of AppInfo.ini:

[Installation]
DeleteAppDirectory=true
DeleteDataDirectory=false
DeleteOtherDirectory=true
DeleteRootDirectoryFiles=false

A nice one

since I haven't done NSIS in some time now, i was wondering which app launcher should i base a Nethack portable launcher off. it leaves a reg key, and has some setting files that need to be in the Nethack app directory for nethack to read them. any ideas?

Alright, so I've been happily using the WinampPortable launcher and thought I'd see if any portable LastFM scrobblers were out there that would simply work as a plugin within Winamp.

I found one, but it stores its login settings in a registry key. Bad news for portability. I've done some scripting before, but I'm by no means a programmer. I think I could edit the WinampPortable.nsi to do what it needs to do with the registry entries, but I'm not sure how to compile it.

This is a very useless theme. An anaglyph theme. You're needing special glasses (red-left/right-green) to view it proper.

I've noticed Travis and a few others (like me) make Beta Apps because people need/want more apps. But Development Tests are for apps that people are trying to get on the list. I would suggest that there be a name of apps that are PAF'ed, but not for the list should have a special name, something like 'Unofficial Edition' or something. Just a thought.
