Submitted by ledoctom on June 4, 2008 - 9:42am

Hello,
I'm trying to portabilize an application for myself (ImageJ) and I would like to make it PAM compatible for installation (Iwante to create a paf.exe). i try to edit portableApps.com.installer.nsi, and then to compile it with NSIS. But i have this error :

Invalid command: MoreInfo::GetProductName
Error in script "Z:\PortableApps\PortableImageJ\Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi" on line 234 -- aborting creation process

Can you help me please ? I have poor programming level

Thanks

Editable menu

I like your menu but it is not at all customizable, so I am using PStart.
I tried searching the forums but got confused.
Is there a way to make your menu customizable. Please provide the link

My apps need better names

Submitted by wraithdu on June 3, 2008 - 6:34pm

Since there was a lot of input for the CafeMOD, nay eXpresso, name debate, I need some help too.

I've got several apps here, and a new one I'm working on that could really use some better names. In no particular order -

EraserDropTarget
PortableFileAssociator
Filetype Manager (new, in development)

PortableApps Detector

Okay I heard a request for a progam a while ago that automatically detected StartPortableApps.exe on a flash drive and then auto started it on a computer you commonly use and don't want to bother with the nag screen. I've made a program that auto detects it when ran. The problem is I can't get it to auto repeat. My thought is to have it always running in the background with a script similar to how our launchers constantly check if their app is running. Obviously I will also have to make it so it doesn't keep running portable apps if it's already running.

Customizing The Menu

Greetings All,

I'm an IT professional (DSL network support) in Iowa and have been in IT for about 16 years. I'm fairly new to PortableApps, I've been playing with it off and on for maybe a year, but recently had my interest re-kindled and have been using it nearly exclusively for more than a week now, and I'm more than a little impressed.
