Portable App Development

Some packages - maybe it´s directx or redistributables - just favors using the drive with the biggest space as temp data folder without any permission and sometimes the temp data is just left there. Maybe PortableApps with admin permission could prevent sneaky crap happening to the external drives

Was wondering if any time Their will be Support for 64 bit
launcher. I know About custom .nsh ,but this is pretty advanced.
and having trouble on were to start, the learning cure.

it seems that when i first started to make PAF's Reading, vs making it happen was very hard. I made it past that hump and it all seems
very simple now.

does any one have any advice on learning how to incorporate
a custom.nsh file "in Laymen s terms" Maybe.

A tuit or Video out their. I realize it is a whole new script!

all im trying to do is put .reg key were they need to go.

Hi,
would it be possible for the next update of XnView to include OpenEXR support? It's commonly used in visual effects and animation.

Thank you very much,
FSG

I am just start learnging to write custome language variables.
The following is part of the launcher ini file.

[Language]
Base=%PortableApps.comLocaleName%
CheckIfExists=%PAL:AppDir%\SUMo\SUMo_%PAL:LanguageCustom%.SPK
DefaultIfNotExists=ENGLISH

[LanguageStrings]
ENGLISH=00000409
SIMPCHINESE=00000804
TRADCHINESE=00000404
AFRIKAANS=00000436
BULGARIAN=00000402
CATALAN=00000403
CZECH=00000405
DANISH=00000406
DUTCH=00000413
ESTONIAN=00000425
FINNISH=0000040B
FRENCH=0000040C

HEBREW=0000040D
HUNGARIAN=0000040E
ITALIAN=00000410
KOREAN=00000412

I found that in the following page:

https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/topics/languag...

In the Language variable values table, the LocaleID for both English and Luxembourgish are 1033.
Is there any error?

Hey guys hope this is ok..

I just made a cool little App I call it "PAF Template Maker"
all you do is run it, type your "Name" enter
and it will put a new template on your desktop.

#1 your folder is pre-edited "NamePortable"
#2 your Launcher .ini is Pre-edited "NamePortable.ini"
#3 your Appinfo .ini is pre-edited "Appinfo.ini
and filled out with "Names"

your good to go...saves time, also the Launcher.ini
is pre filled out with some of the most common stuff
just a quick edit...

Hello,

We're thinking about making one of our freeware applications a PortableApps-compatible. The only problem we've been faced so far is what to do with the automatic update function. Our application checks for update and offers to switch to the newer version, if any. Being launched from PortabeApps, should I disable the automatic update function or there are better options?

Question 2. It seems that PortableLauncher automatically restores some registry keys not specified in the settings, for example it recovers the below key if it was removed during the PortableLauncher execution:

Hello.
I am a newbie here.
I am not good at English. Sorry.

I have a question about creating the installer.
How do I copy files having $ in path with installer?
And, please tell me the commands of move the folder in InstallerCustom.nsh.
Please teach me.

Some apps when installed have Drag and Drop for like photos and such.
but when made portable do not have this feature anymore.

does any one know how this could be implemented.
I think that it is a .reg key, that will do the trick not sure
if so is their a main area of the registry they tend to be in?

thanks

just within the last few weeks, i've noticed that, when i start a portable app on a particular machine (brand new in the last 45 days) that an app will start, display its splash screen, then look like it's going to be ready for user interaction.

within seconds, the app window will disappear from the screen, and the only indication it is still running is an entry in process explorer (or other task manager). these entries cannot be killed by process explorer or any other task killer, though i have to say i've tried.
