Portable App Development

I've set up a temporary development wiki on my site to work on until the PAF is finalised and I can start editing the development pages. These wiki pages will probably shape how the new development section ends up, so go wild. I'm almost 100% sure I'm going to copy over the contents of it later.

I signed up for a Sourceforge account on Sunday and still hadn't received an email on whether is was approved/disapproved/whatever by today (Thursday). Today I go to SF and check out my account as there maybe some little clue there. Guess what? I was approved back last Monday! Either they didn't send me a confirmation email or Gmail's spam filtering software got it.

Point of this post is...login to your SF acct and see if the project is approved or not as you might miss the email.

Good luck!

How do you change a regular app, say (opera),or any other app to a portable app? Why, because I'm trying to get my opera browser to save it's history etc.inside of the usb stick and not the computer!

english(you must improve a little bit i dont now of it is good)

I know how to change your usb-stick or other drive Label.
go to the root directory and double-click autorun.inf, if you dont see autorun.inf go to tools (extra) map options (mapopties) and then go to view and click on display hidden icons. in autorun.inf change label= PortableApps to Label=[your own label here] and ready is cees.

Ik weet hoe je je je label kan veranderen.
ga naar de root-directory van je drive en dubbelklik op autorun.inf.

I need help. I'm trying to set up a way to set the path for the programs, and set /P looks good, but it requires that commandline extensions are enabled, and it's nowhere near a given that a Windows box will have them enabled. How would I enable extensions while the batch file is being run, and return the status to what it was when it terminates?

I was curious what the development status on musikCube was. I think it's a great media player, and PortableApps.com could use something a little more advanced in the way of libraries than VLC Media Player. John, you said you do have permission do work make up a portable version of Sunbird today or yesterday, but I know you have a lot to do, so I'm not expecting it any time soon.

((Hi I am a noob to portable app development, and programming in general I only know a bit about html but then again I AM 11 so I am doing good! I am even making a little dev team at my school!)) anyways lets get on topic...

ok so I want to make some programs into portable apps particularly programming tools but I do not know how! I would really be grateful if someone taught me to do it and dont tell me to google I already have!

thanks!

Yeah, my launcher for Project64 has a flaw to it... one of the .reg files are not being imported, however the other 2 .reg files are being imported into the registry. The 3rd .reg file (the one that is not being imported), if I manually import it, after I launch P64 Portable (the data of the 3rd .reg file is not brought into use until I begin emulation), the settings are retained and after P64 Portable is closed, the Registry keys that are supposed to be brought into the 3rd .reg file (The NRage keys) are cleaned up and brought into the 3rd .reg file...

I just installed the new firefox over the older one and noticed the bookmarks and some preferences are lost.

Somehow I got the impression that the folder structure had to ensure that 'updating' a application would keep the previous information like settings and bookmarks.

Hello guys and/or girls.
Excuse my bad English, but I am not a native english speaker nor a native german speaker.
I had read a lot of threads about the wish to get a portable MiKTeX and/or LyX.
Well I programmed some useful things, better known as LyXPortable.exe (and MOPortable.bat and MPMPortable.bat, which are also exe-Files, but renamed to bat-Files).
