Portable App Development

Hi everyone,

I'm the author of a shareware application* that already supports an optional portable mode where all of the application files are stored in the same directory as the exe. The installer uses InnoSetup, and asks whether to create a normal or portable install and puts things appropriately.

I've looked through the unofficial PAF specs, and they say a specific directory structure is necessary, but it doesn't say why.

Seems we've been having a few 'launcher only' apps posted as development tests. To be clear, this is not the point of the Development Test process. This is for real, full apps... not just launchers where an end user is expected to download something separately, install it on a PC where they have admin rights, copy files out, uninstall, etc. The Development Test program is only for real, full open source applications.

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie here. So if my question is not appropriate, please let me know and I'm sorry about it.

I have written 2 applications recently using AutoIt. So can I post it here? So far I believe that it doesn't violate the rules here.

My applications are:

- WinMaster: It helps you to change the name (title/caption) of a window, change the opacity of the window, bring the windows always on top, close, hide, minimize it (in case the close,minimize buttons are disabled)
- ShutMeDown: Shut down/restart the computer automatically after some period of time.

Last week I saw a page with a shiny minimalistic design, almost can't read it by enthusiasm. I wrote to the admin and begged for using it to a PAM-Mod Theme and a PNotes Skin. He said it wasn't his creation, but he gave me the required name. Windyroad wrotes: "Feel free to make any changes you like. It's a GPL theme."
I started immediately. Here's my transmutation:

Name

VL Theme Set

PAM-Version

PAM-Mod R30 to R31

I wrote a launcher for Winamp and was wondering where or who can host it for me. I'm looking to post it in the beta forums for feedback. Thanks

Hello,

I'm a first year student for computer science, and haven't written anything more sophisticated than a QBASIC "Hello World" program.

I got the NSIS downloaded and want to make a launcher for the program "GalaxyForge".

Hey, I'm in the final stages of a portable app launcher, but for one final configuration piece, I need to pass a string to the launcher from another .exe (basically, as a command line parameter), so basically the launcher would be called by the command "MyPortableLauncher.exe" -stringgoeshere

Basically, I'm passing the launcher an environment variable that exists only within the app itself and is semi-random (I think it's user-specific), and other weird stuff, so I can only get the string into the launcher in one of two ways, both involving passing via a parameter in an executable call.

Ok, here is the first Skin for Jooleem. The next Skin coming soon...

Name:
AMORA

Jooleem-Version
0.1.4 and higher

Hope you like it.

As you might know I made X-Moto portable. (It's currently in development testing)
I thought it would be pretty cool to have a PAM skin for this game. What i thought was something like this: a Portable Apps branded USB stick as a moto (with wheels of course) and a driver. (No idea for the driver a this point though.)
Example can be found here and a tutorial can be found here

I'm working on portablizing a game called Sokowiz. I noticed it was skinable and although I'm not super good at graphics I was thinking it would be really cool to have a PAM theme. Would any of our Graphic artists mind making a theme? It doesn't look like it would be too hard. It gets it's theme from a single .bmp file.
