Portable App Development

According to the website, TrueCrypt claims to be open source, but it does not appear to be a GPL license. It is stated at the top of the page here. As such, does one need to get permission before creating a launcher, and posting it here? I wasn't sure because it's not GPL, AFAIK. Thanks...

I've decided to update Python to the lastest version, using the files from PortablePython.com (I've already asked and received permission). However, I've run into a problem. In the official IRC channel, someone pointed me to a part of the documentation, I missed.

I've looked at the Python Portable from both tanisthalon & TaffinFoxcroft. Here's my problem, in both cases, they have 2 launchers that can be launched, but only 1 is listed in the appinfo.ini. This makes the PA Menu, not display it right.

Assumed that both in the PA.com Menu is installed jPortable and on the host PC is Java locally installed. Furthermore both installed Java versions should differ from each other. In the PA.c Menu I have installed an application, which can use Java but does not depend on its being available. Accordingly the necessary command will be:

[Activate]
Java=find

My question is now, which JRE the app will used? Or must I determine in an additional command, which of the both JRE the app should use?

Hi,

Is it possible to make a special version with irfanview's misc components ?

I use often jpg_transform.dll in thumbnails' windows to make a JPG lowless rotation with my files.

Thanks a lot for your work

Alright, being new to these forums, I don't exactly know where to put this. This is my first post, but it'll help those who have been looking for this.

While Digsby, the IM Client, is not currently supported by the PortableApps.com platform, the Digsby official installer recently added a 'Portable' option. The Digsby project has recently announced that it will be going open source soon, and I hope that will allow PortableApps.com to add Digsby to the platform natively.

I've been thinking about the current kind of the numbering of revisions and I have come to the conclusion, that it is somehow inconclusive. Instead of starting with the number 1 for first revision, this first revision gets the number 2. It's absolutely weird. It may be true, that this number 2 indicate on the second and simultaneously revised version of the program, but it still remains the first actual revision.

Hi!

First: I'm not a developer...

There is a bug in the TeamViewer Portable. The settings don't get saved, but it is possible:

In the TeamViewer.ini file there is the option "nosave" that is set to 1 by default in the portable version. When this option is set to 0 TeamViewer saves the options in the registry in HKCU\Software\TeamViewer. So these options could be saved with the PortableApps.com Launcher...

I've been trying to make an installer for the app I just put together. After editing the script a bit and making sure I have the files it wants, it still won't compile properly because of an error with uninstall functions that I can't find anywhere in the script. Anyone have any ideas about it?

I finally managed to fix my bricked Seagate hard drive the other day, and looking through some backups of my now lost flash drive, I was completely in nostalgia..

Anyway, I came across FlashBin, an AutoItv3 application that I requested in the off topic forums and Eric Pilsits was kind enough to create with enough interest. For those who do not know, FlashBin's purpose was to create a USB Drive specific Recyble Bin. Any files you delete on your flash drive automatically goes to X:\Trash instead.

i want to know if the Portable apps platform can be customized easily to have restricted app installs and be able to do background updates of non-active apps. the reason i ask is i am working at a school and i want to implement the portable apps platform so every user will have their app settings saved on their network home directory and not on the local machine, but i don't want them to be able to install the games and such that can be installed with the platform.

any ideas?

thanks in advanced!
