GPL Redistribution Clarification

Submitted by KongMD on October 8, 2010 - 10:47pm

Hi, all Smile I've made a portable app using the Launcher, and it's licensed under the GPL or LGPL. The exact wording is:

"It is free software (free of charge and free access to source code: GPL or LGPL licence)"

My main goal is to refine the application and make sure it's not fatally flawed, with the help of my fellow developers here, before telling the original application's developer about it. This is to avoid showing him an unfinished/bugged program and having him decide he doesn't want any redistribution.

Thunderbird 3.1.4 - Acrobat Attachment

Submitted by heyix01 on October 6, 2010 - 8:22am

Just a small hint to the development-team of Thunderbird portable - related to the functionality of Adobe Acrobat Pro:

Acro Pro offers a quickly way to sent the current opened PDF's via email. Therefore you just have to select file/sent as email and then Acro opens the current Mail-Client and attaches the PDF automatically - very practicable and very, very quick!!!

But it does not work with the portable editions :-(((

PA.c Installer log file

Submitted by Xandl on October 3, 2010 - 8:33pm

Hello,

is it possible to get an install/update log with the new portable application install program? I would like to be able to review what happened during the install and update process. This should be integrated into the installer, so that a log is available for every application distributed here (all new ones).

Favorites

Hi everybody,

I really like the favorites function. Would it be possible to split the portable apps menu into a favorites area with 5 entries, scrolling possible, and a normal program area? It would be very helpful.

Submitted by Moonbase on September 25, 2010 - 10:31am

TeamViewer v5.1.9192 is out since 2010-09-21.

May I suggest some improvements to whoever currently develops the offical PA.c version?

The currently available version 5.1.9160 can leave traces in the host system's registry at:

HKCU\Software\Teamviewer\Version5.1\
HKLM\Software\Teamviewer\Version5.1\

Also, the "TeamViewer.ini" file is kept in three places:

App\DefaultData\settings\TeamViewer.ini
App\teamviewer\TeamViewer.ini
Data\settings\TeamViewer.ini

Multiple Launchers with PAL

Submitted by shanet on September 19, 2010 - 9:48pm

Hey guys,

I have a few apps that require multiple launchers quite like has been done in open office and am wondering if the same is possible with the PAL?

I am aware that the launchers in OO.org are done straight from the NSIS code, but its worth a try asking isn't it?

Also, if it isn't possible, will it be implemented in future versions of the PAL?

Many thanks,

Shane Thompson
