Portable App Development

Hello again all!

I have a slight problem using PFF and PTB sometimes and I thought I would propose a solution here.

My problem:

Every time I use either PTB of PFF, they end up with profile differences than my local copies. As I generally use the Portable versions most often, and always use PTB to check my e-mail first, this is a minor problem, but with TB and FF being default apps on my WinXP box, it can get slightly annoying having to sync them every time I need something in a portable but am using a local copy.

My idea:

Liberta is coming along very well, and I like the new incarnations of the apps, although I've only viewed the cosmetic aspects of a few and not the actual functionality or Sync and Backup (hmm, a thought: might sync do this now somehow, and am I wasting my time? *Oh well* I've started and might as well finish. I'll check afterwards. Damned 3:00am bleary eyed posts.). But is there a way to automatically sync PFF and PTB profiles to local? It could be an apps in an autorun.inf, or an app that starts with pstart.

I've put together a test package of Portable SciTE. SciTE is a solid text editor that is actually quite portable by default. In the portable package I put together, I've compressed it with UPX, setup the standard App/Data directory structures so things are easier to backup and upgrade, and changed some configuration options that I think are appropriate for our use (toolbar/status bar visible, line numbers enabled, NSIS support enabled, status bar layout changed to include all necessary details). All the config changes were made in the SciTEUser.properties file, so you can easily revert to a base SciTE config by deleting that file... or drop in your own file from your local copy so your portable copy will work the same way.

ASuite is a launcher with a menu trayicon. It is developed to be performed on any support (except CD), Hard Disk, pen Drive, IPod and other supports.

ASuite uses relative paths for software positioned in its same folder and subfolder, this allows to run software portable, that is those programs that need not to to be installed to work.

ASuite is a software perfectly working on portable support, Pen Drive, Ipod, ecc...
In fact it weights approximately 400KB and it uses file Asuite.xml for its list and its options, without to damage the guest computer.
This allows you to always carry with you your favorite software and your documents and to have, through ASuite, a comfortable menu.

Hi does anyone have a way to use the new myspace messenger app from thumb drive?

I've downloaded the 4 Liberta 1.0 programs (several times now). When I run them, all open and close a DOS window. Log also gives a 16 bit MSDOS subsystem error. Nowhere that I can find were any files actually added to my USB drive. ?????

Wrap 1.0 has now been released. It has a cleared up deriectory structure and code. Get it from Sourceforge. Changelog on the Project Page. Any questions just ask.

Enjoy!

Backup 1.0 has been released. Get it from Sourceforge I will be uploading up a changlog on the Project Page soon.

I'm considering doing either a simple app that either:

1. Makes a tray icon for whatever app or icon you choose; or
2. Make a splash screen for whatever app or jpg you choose

So, which one?
I'm also starting work on a Safely Remove app.
