Portable App Development

All,

While removing the $Bits variable setting code from Custom.nsh files, I discovered that the only remaining portion of Custom.nsh for many apps is the chunk setting %FullAppDir%.

I'm thinking of adding $FullAppDir by default, using ${AppName}64 and ${AppName} as the directory names referenced.

I try to portabilize an app developement in 32 & 64bit architecture.

The versions of program are stored in:
%PAL:AppDir%\program32
%PAL:AppDir%\program64

In %PAL:DataDir% there's a folder:
SETUP
and a file
program.ini.

Execute the right version of the program is simply:
[Launch]
ProgramExecutable64=program64\program.exe
ProgramExecutable=program\program.exe

My goal is move the folder SETUP and the program.ini file in the folder content the right 32/64 version of program.

Hi,

I'm trying to make a portable version of this game and it uses a HKCU registry key. So i set it up with [RegistryKeys] and it works fine, the .reg gets saved and its fine.
However, the second time the app is run, the settings (which are stored in said registry key), are all messed up.
I investigated the issue and found that the PAL Launcher saves the .reg wrong.

Below are the registry key i got with regedit, by running the game without PAL and the file the Launcher saved. Note the difference

Regedit Export :

Inkscape Portable currently does not recognize font handling as provided by the PortableApps.com Platform.

This will be fixed in the next release.

In the meantime, do the following to handle it:

Save a copy of X:\PortableApps\InkscapePortable\App\Inkscape\etc\fonts\conf.d\51-local.conf as X:\PortableApps\InkscapePortable\Data\01-portableapps.conf. Following this, add the line X:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\Data\Fonts immediately after <fontconfig>, with X being replaced with your drive letter.

I wanted to make a post to compile some resources for creating Python apps in PortableApps.com Format for interested developers. Currently, we have two apps released in our app store using the PortableApps.com Launcher that are Python-based: gPodder Portable and Solfege Portable.

There are some apps, that don't use AppData folder to store their data, but rather CommonAppData folder (usually C:\ProgramData). Is there any way to make such app portable and "redirect" this folder using [DirectoriesMove]?

I'm accessing a remote desktop Windows server. I have installed Firefox Portable. When I login to the site I reach two-factor authentication. I've authenticated it manually and ticked the box 'Don't ask for codes on this device'.

Each time I relaunch Firefox it works without having to reauthenticate, but each time I close the remote connection and reconnect, the Firefox cache appears to have cleared and I have to go through 2 factor authentication again.

Sorry if I post in wrong forum page.

I need help for [FileWriteN]. I'm working on a app based on old version of XAMPP and I need to edit about 45 files to make it portable. At this time I found that I must have 4 [FileWriteN] for every file, which will about 180 total entries (the last will be [FileWrite180]). So is there any elegant way to do this? Also i'm not sure is that the proper way, but I found that this work at this time. This is an example for one of the files:

Currently, the PAL documentation is built using reStructuredText, and built using Sphinx.

Installing this on Windows requires jumping through a few hoops, although I am aware it is possible to install Sphinx on the Windows Subsystem for Linux if necessary.
