Portable App Development

Hi,

I'm a newbie in NSIS developement and I've few problems with registry.

I need to convert the following string "$EXEDIR\App\Chainer\VstPlugins" to hex values for import in the registry like that :

WriteRegBin HKCU "Software\Xlutop\Chainer\1.0" "VstPaths" xxxxxxxx

where xxxxxxxx must be replaced by the hex value of "$EXEDIR\App\Chainer\VstPlugins".

I've found the registry function ${registry::StrToHex} but I have no idea how to use it.

Here's my code :

${registry::StrToHex} "$EXEDIR\App\Chainer\VstPlugins" $var

Thanks you

Hello,

I have an app which should be started using
a batch file, rahter than an exe executable.
But have a problem with the line:

!define DEFAULTEXE "mybatch.cmd"

within/in my installer (nsi) script and it doesnt
work. How can I do such a task?

What all is planned for PortableApps in the future?

I know that there are more changes planned for the starter (suite).
Specifically I've seen the following features mentioned as planned for the suite:

• Some for of categories system
• portable fonts
• eXpresso or CAFE-like portable file associations

Further a universal launcher is in development, which is as far as I can tell intended to become the launcher used in all PortableApps.com releases.

Hello World!

I have made a portable version of FreeStudio, an awesome application which allows you to convert, burn, download of YouTube, etc.

For reasons of Copyright, I am not allowed to give you the actual files of this application but here's the guide on how to make it portable.

1. Download This : http://www.mediafire.com/?hktytdtmomy
That is the launcher files. Extract that where you will keep FreeStudio Portable.

2. Download FreeStudio : http://dvdvideosoft.com/download/FreeStudio.exe

Install this to C:\Program Files (recommended but not necessary)

Please pardon my lack of understanding here. I have developed an app (not Open Source) in a non- portable version, and have created a version in the lab for portable use. I believe I can get it to subscribe to all the PortableApps format requirements, but it wasn't clear to me whether or not the app itself needs to be Open Source.

Can someone please clarify what the Open Source requirement is that would allow my application to become part of the PortableApps community.

Thank you.

I'm planning to make CodeLite portable. It is years since I tested anything on this arena. I don't remember any good concept. So what are your suggestion? (Please don't point me to those posts. I have read them. All I need here is how do I start) Where will I get working template that is so simple to start with?

Here are some hints. Codelite reads three reg entry and nothing else (as per developer).

Thanks a lot

Hey guys!

I am a little new around the forums, but I have been a long time user of portable apps platform. I really like it, it keeps a lot of the yummy stuff I need on a daily basis at my finger tips.

However having used it so much there are a few things I would like to make for plugins if possible.

Hi,

I have recently upgraded from Portable Apps 1.5 to 1.6. I had no problems until today when my McAfee Virus scan started up automatically today. I shut it down because I had urgent things to do. I started Portable Apps and lo and behold, up pops a McAfee Warning Window with the words (by the way, I have a JPG of the window, but I can't seem to upload it on this forum) (quoting exactly):

McAfee has automatically blocked and removed a Trojan.

About this Trojan
Detected: Artemis!0E1A49A03054(Trojan), Artemis!0E1A49A03054(Trojan)

I would like to run qutecom from a stick (portable)

But I don't know what they mean in these instructions? If some could help with translation in to "no tech language". (seen below) their link: http://trac.qutecom.org/wiki/UserDocumentation

Thanks

Alvin

Running from USB stick

Default config directories

On windows : home/Application Data/qutecom-2.2
On linux: home/.qutecom-2.2
On mac: home/Library/Application Support/qutecom-2.2
you may specify different directory by "-q"

qutecom -q
