Hi Folks!
We made a splashscreen template for anyone how needs it. It's without PortableApps.com-logo. Instead we're using a bag (or call it suitcase) where you could paste your logo, icon or screenshot in. There are 5 poses in 3 intensities. You could work by png-templates, but there's also a PSD included. For further works, we added an icon with 12 formates and the bag poses in 5 large pics. Additionally, there are 6 sample splashscreens to have a quick overview.

Hello,

I use applications from PortableApps.com since years, but since the combination of some portable apps I have some path problems.
I dislike the default path structure with:

PortableDrive:\
+\PortableApps\
+\AnyApplicationPortable\

My path structure is like this

PortableDrive:\
+\Software\
+\AnyApplication\

If you use portable applications like WinSCP with PUTTY/Notepad++ integration it will not work. Thats why I suggest a *new* ini file in the PortableApps folder (or folder Software). This ini file should store the path to the application directory:

I was minding my own business, compiling UP ME with a nenw feature, but the compiler was reporting this error:

include: "E:\PortableApps\NSISPortable\App\NSIS\Include\Registry.nsh"
!define: "registry::Open" already defined!
!include: error in script: "E:\PortableApps\NSISPortable\App\NSIS\Include\Registry.nsh" on line 1
Error in script "C:\Documents and Settings\all\Desktop\Casey\Development\UP ME\Other\UP ME.nsi" on line 82 -- aborting creation process

I was thinking, "What the heck!? This never happened once before!"

is there any way to edit a .dat file from nsis or possibly another scripting language? i know it depends on the .dat file. the one i'm interested in when opened with notepad is mostly a bunch of gibberish, but the string i want to edit shows up correctly.

WindowFunc header file. Window (not MS Windows) related functions.

Download WindowFunc.nsh

${WinWait}
Waits for a window to exist by title or PID (title optional, partial title accepted; PID required) and optional class (full classname required if used). Can specify a timeout value. Returns -1 if timed out, or the window handle if successful.

${WinWaitVisible}

This solution is for portable version of XAMPP wih installed CMS (such as Joomla!) that use absolute path.

I'm working on a small program that I would like to make have portable support. I'm wondering how best to do this. I would like to make it in such a way that a portable version for MSW, Mac, and even Linux could be installed on a USB/external device.

Somebody knows how create a software to modify the scheme colors of portable apps
i like to modify that red gradient colors to a black gradient, maybe silver
this is possible?
