Portable App Development

Specifically pertaining to commonized GPG.
on the one hand:

PortableDrive:\
  +\PortableApps\
    +\CommonFiles\
      +\gpg\
        +\App\   {GPG binaries}
        +\Data\  {GPG Home dir, keyrings and conf}

Seems more concise and organized. But the data dir is missed by PortableAppsBackup.

On the other:

PortableDrive:\
  +\PortableApps\
    +\CommonFiles\
      +\gpg\
        +\App\   {GPG binaries}
    +\gpg\
      +\Data\  {GPG Home dir, keyrings and conf}

i tried doing it..i placed the icon inside the drive and renamed the portableapps.exe line in the "autorun.inf" with the name of my icon with its ".ico" word...i remove the drive , plug it in , no result..what am i doing wrong or is it impossible for you to change the icon..but logic wise you should and can change icon...i even read an article from lifehacker.com about changing icons for drives....ooooh...i had a brain blast...do i have to make a separate autorun for my icon??...hm..so what do you guys know about this?

Not sure if this is the best place, I haven't seen many around but I have a few suggestions for consideration.

-Auto start applications when PAM starts, with options for delay.

-Run application/script on close.

-Custom shortcut to open the menu. (Alt+Winkey would be nice I think, though thats not a generally allowed shortcut isn't it?)

-Allow manual addition(and hide) of programs into the list. Could have a settings file that you put in programs to add and the programs to ignore in.

my smart butt friend deleted my autorun.inf accidently...i forgot what wre the codes...anyone.. could you kindly go to your autorun.inf , copy and paste the codes here...

Hi!
Today I've created another small & tiny theme. I bet you say "Ahh!" when you see it (because you know it very well). Yes, I love toys, and I like to remember to my childhood. So many years ago (I'm an old grumpy man) there are many treasures working without electricity... Yes, I'll stop now

Edit3: Installer works correctly, the launcher issue was fixed, and a development test 3 was posted here.

Edit: Launcher code removed, I think it works correctly now, and a development test was posted here.

Please note, I'm NOT suggesting this for a portable app for this site.

I use Nero and Recode a lot. Unfortunately Nero makes a big mess when it is installed and I would love if I could make a portable version which could be tugged away in, and launched from, a single folder. Clean in, Clean out. No mess.

Is there a reason that every other folder in the paf format is capitalized but the ones under Data (settings, profile) are not? Did a forum search on 'capital' and didn't find anything relevant...

Due to a significant change in methodology a new thread was started here

Sorry for any confusion.

If a mod could lock this thread I would appreciate it. Thank you.
