As you might have seen I'm trying to make jEdit portable.
While I was working on the [FileWriteN] sections I noticed some shortcomings.
I think the only rally valuable type is the "Replace" as all the others simply seem to spit out some, more or less, fixed lines.
What I wanted to do, for example, is to replace something in an XML file.

I am a novice of portableapps,i have a question that puzzled me some days. when I make a software named BaiduReaderLite for portable,I found that portableappsLauncher not have a good support for chinese language,I said that in more detail below,look:
At the Launcher.ini below [RegistryValueWrite] I write this:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\BaiduReaderLite.pdf\shell\用百度阅读器精简版打开\command\=REG_SZ:%PAL:AppDir%\BaiduReaderLite\BaiduReaderLite.exe "%1"
when run the portableapp,I found that it is not exist in the regedit, but a similar section
I want to have an easy to find and edit way of changing what the "default" virtual PA.c drive letter is.
Current launcher.ini:
[Environment]
PAL:SubstDrive=B
[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=VSubst\VSubst.exe
[FileWrite1]
Type=INI
File=%PAL:DataDir%\VSubst.ini

Is there a way to convert a MSI to portable app format?
Give a search box in portable apps menu (search should be like windows 7 start menu search) if we start typing it will show the filtered applications.
Hi there!
I'm new to the PortableApps forums but I have been using the website (and apps) for ages.
I don't know whether this has been posted before (or if this is even the right section
) but I wanted to share how you can very easily make an Eclipse portable app with the JDK.
Don't worry, I won't post a download link (that's technically illegal :D).
There are two ways:
1: Get a friend to get the JDK on his/her computer, copy over the files.
2: (The way we'll be doing) Get the compressed binaries direct from Oracle.
Here's how to do it:
Please provide search box for portableapps updater. so we can filter based on search and install applications.
