Portable App Development

I've noticed Travis and a few others (like me) make Beta Apps because people need/want more apps. But Development Tests are for apps that people are trying to get on the list. I would suggest that there be a name of apps that are PAF'ed, but not for the list should have a special name, something like 'Unofficial Edition' or something. Just a thought.

who would you go about removing
Documents and Settings\$user$\avidemux?

could you modify this script?

SetOriginalKeyBack:
		CopyFiles /SILENT "$APPDATA\avidemux\*.*" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY"
		IfFileExists "$APPDATA\Avidemux-backupbyavidemuxportable" +1 
		Rename "$APPDATA\Avidemux-backupbyavidemuxportable" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY"
		RMDIR /r "$APPDATA\Avidemux"
		Goto TheEnd

Thanks in Advance,

I've look in the help file and online with no answers to my question.

can NSIS wait till certain keys are held down to continue executing? (ex: CTRL+E)

I was wondering how do u make one exe in nsis that would contain all the necessary files to run? I have read in forums that this can be done but I have not found an answer on how to do it. It would be awesome to know how to do this for personal use. If somebody here knows the basics on how to do this, I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks for any answers I recieve.

this code handles 1 registry key only and works:

Hi Folks!
We made a splashscreen template for anyone how needs it. It's without PortableApps.com-logo. Instead we're using a bag (or call it suitcase) where you could paste your logo, icon or screenshot in. There are 5 poses in 3 intensities. You could work by png-templates, but there's also a PSD included. For further works, we added an icon with 12 formates and the bag poses in 5 large pics. Additionally, there are 6 sample splashscreens to have a quick overview.

Hello,

I use applications from PortableApps.com since years, but since the combination of some portable apps I have some path problems.
I dislike the default path structure with:

PortableDrive:\
+\PortableApps\
+\AnyApplicationPortable\

My path structure is like this

PortableDrive:\
+\Software\
+\AnyApplication\

If you use portable applications like WinSCP with PUTTY/Notepad++ integration it will not work. Thats why I suggest a *new* ini file in the PortableApps folder (or folder Software). This ini file should store the path to the application directory:

I was minding my own business, compiling UP ME with a nenw feature, but the compiler was reporting this error:

include: "E:\PortableApps\NSISPortable\App\NSIS\Include\Registry.nsh"
!define: "registry::Open" already defined!
!include: error in script: "E:\PortableApps\NSISPortable\App\NSIS\Include\Registry.nsh" on line 1
Error in script "C:\Documents and Settings\all\Desktop\Casey\Development\UP ME\Other\UP ME.nsi" on line 82 -- aborting creation process

I was thinking, "What the heck!? This never happened once before!"

is there any way to edit a .dat file from nsis or possibly another scripting language? i know it depends on the .dat file. the one i'm interested in when opened with notepad is mostly a bunch of gibberish, but the string i want to edit shows up correctly.
