Portable App Development

I just have some ideas to improve the operating systems page under applications.

First off, I found some nice Tango style icons for Mac and Linux that seem to be GNU GPL licensed, I think they would look fantastic there. There's a bit of choice for Mac, and Tux is beside the Lego man, here.

Also, I think we should add a better screenshot to the Mac On a Stick Page (I can do that), and maybe ask the owner of the tutorial if we can post it here, and even post the document that gman(?) posted in the Other Apps Support forum.

Hey Guys and Gals

I'm looking to write a portable app in C# with .NET Framework 3.0. Does anyone have experience deploying a C# .NET App on to a USB drive and did the app have any issues running with the .NET framework from the USB?

Thanks

I think that PortableApps, as awesome as it is, should get a updating applications feature. I think that if there is a new release that the application for the portable devices should automatically download and ask the user if s/he would like to upgrade.

This would be an easier feature to use so the user doesn't have to delete the folder, re-install it and it automatically does it itself.

I mean, it's not hard, but the luxuries of having it do the update itself is awesome and easy in my opinion.

Anyways, just thought I'd let you know what I thought.

Hi guys,
I found this on portablefreeware forum:
http://www.disoriented.com/FreeExtractor/
...looks like a useful little utility...

FreeExtractor is the easiest way to create self-extracting archives for Windows from existing ZIP files. It is an excellent open-source solution for packaging software programs and for distributing files to friends and colleagues over the Internet.

is there any way to detect if a drive is flash media or not? someone said john may have a tool that does that but i don't know and i didn't see anything for it on the nsis plugins page.
