Portable App Development

I was looking around for some batch file renamers, so you can rename multiple files at once very easily, and the three I liked were these:

Ant Renamer

Some of you may have heard of this. It's GPL'd. It's probably the simpler of the them. It's got an easy way to set many renaming rules, and the interface is pretty easy to grasp. There's some screenshots here to give you a basic idea.

Hey everyone!
Im pretty new with all the portable stuff (Portable Apps, Thinstaller, U3, etc.)

But i'm relatively experienced with Miranda IM and some other IM Apps...
I was thinking about implementing IM-History along with Miranda IM or any other IM app...
Can be found at the adddress: www.im-history.com

The general idea is to save your IM History globally and not only on the Disk-On-Key/ Network Drive/ Zip Drive, etc.
Having this ability will also allow the user to have seperate IM apps installed on different machines and locations

I wanted to get WinRAR and Project 64 to appear in my Portable Apps Suite tray. I tried just copying and pasting the portable version of WinRAR in there, but there were about 3 EXEs, and they would all appear in my Portable App tray. So I went about writing a bat file that would do the same, so I could just convert it to an EXE and have just that one display. Everything went fine- I wrote the program, compiled it, etc, and it worked great! But, when I started up the Suite's tray and launched it from there, it didn't. Anyone know why?

Last night, I downloaded WinRAR Unplugged, which is a portable version of WinRAR that's not on the PA site. Now, I really wanted it on the PortableApps Suite (it just makes life easier) so I figured out how to get this, or any portable program, to appear in that window.

The newadvsplash plugin (used in nearly every PAF NSIS launcher) has recently been updated and the wait command removed, in favor of a /WAIT option added to the stop command. Annoyingly enough this means that nearly every PAF app will need to be updated to compile with the latest version of the plugin, which is now the version available from the NSIS sourceforge page.

Old syntax:

newadvsplash::wait

New syntax:

newadvsplash::stop /WAIT

This is a Howto I put together for all the people who own a U3 drive and want to switch to the new Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition (2.0.0.11). The recommended Menu is the PortableApps.com Platform but I will also explain how to make it show up in your U3 Menu using Smithtechs ShortcutCreator for U3 if you don't want to switch.

Hello everyone !

I have a problem to create my own Firefox with thinstall : If I don't put any plugins it works without any problems.

However, if I put a plugin such as adblock plus, I have an error message in thinstall and it doesn't work :

I have some programs I use on a regular basis so I want a launcher to launch them with one click.
I already did that with NSIS but I don't always want to run all the programs. So I thought maybe there is a way to have NSIS display a list with checkboxes and the Appname next to it and it runs all the Apps you click the checkbox.
Or something like that.
I couldnt figure it out myself cause my NSIS skills aren't that good
Does anyone has any hints???

for using NSIS and the portableappstemplate to create a portable app? I've never used the program before, so some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
