Portable App Development

Hello everybody, I've just found this forum, I'm new.
I would like to create a portable version of photoshop, because I don't want to install the program on my working place PC.
I'm interested in the whole version, not a reduction (I don't mind if it takes 500 mbytes), the most important thing is that I don't want to install it on there.
I've installed cs3 on another PC, and .... then? What should I do?
Do I need another software to detect which register have been changed?

many thanks to everybody in advance

Hello everyone

Although i'm a portable applications fan i'm quite new at this developing stuff. I've found a couple of java applications (simple jar files) which i found interesting. I've been thinking about how I can turn this Java apps into portableapps.com format.
However, I imagine I am not the first who thought in this so I wanted to know how can I do (using the portableapps.com way) to find and load the javaw.exe. Once I get the path the rest is quite easy.

Hi!
Maybe it's time to publish my PAM-Mod-Theme.
I've called my baby 'Old School'.

Preview & Download

It's for R29 and above.

One of my frustrations when using a command prompt on a different machine is not having the file name completion functionality set up. It's usually turned off. I can turn it on with /F:ON (I think) in a batch file, but the control key to use (I prefer tab) is specified in the registry.

I know I wouldn't want someone else changing my preference permanently...

So I'm asking if anyone else has already worked on this sort of thing. Maybe you know of a way to set it -- like color or prompt -- that works just for one invocation?

Hi everyone,

i've made a modified version of Tim Fehlman(dailycupoftech.com)'s usb splash screen. this version has fade out effect and allows you to set transparency.the transparency settings can be changed in the Splash.ini

i've also include a splash that i've made in photoshop with the .psd so you can easily make one your own ;). you can always use a different image if you don't like mine. source code(.au3) and everything included. you can change the colour of those laser effects on photoshop too and remember to replace my logo with somthing else ahha :D.

This is a idea for supporting custom folders on the PortableApps Menu and allow a much more improved identification and indexing support.

The idea is to have a little file (called customdir.ini) on each folder. The next example shows an mockup of what could be in the Documents Folder (# represents that the following text in that line are comments for explaining how it works):

[CustomDir]
folderid=docs #sets an id to the folder, that way PAM can identify it.
foldername=Documents #defines which name should came up on the menu for that folder

How do I get it to work like a U3 device where it pulls up the menu when inserted? I am using a Windows Xp Home Edition, and a PNY Attache device.

Hi,

I have been downloading and using some "so called Portable Apps" from portablefreeware, and sometimes games... those apps are not really portables but they are self contained in a folder and write to the same folder and don't use the registry, so they can be used as portable... but some of them are huge (i.e. games).

After reading a lot about upx on this forum, I downloaded it and give it a try to reduce the size of those apps.

Can program WinBox in version portable ?

I would like to create Portable versions Bus Driver.
This game is saving to 'C:\Documents and Settings\{My Profile}\My Documents\Bus Driver'. How I can change this in Portable version to '{Game Dir on FlashUSB}\Data\My Documents'?
