Portable App Development

Last night, I downloaded WinRAR Unplugged, which is a portable version of WinRAR that's not on the PA site. Now, I really wanted it on the PortableApps Suite (it just makes life easier) so I figured out how to get this, or any portable program, to appear in that window.

The newadvsplash plugin (used in nearly every PAF NSIS launcher) has recently been updated and the wait command removed, in favor of a /WAIT option added to the stop command. Annoyingly enough this means that nearly every PAF app will need to be updated to compile with the latest version of the plugin, which is now the version available from the NSIS sourceforge page.

Old syntax:

newadvsplash::wait

New syntax:

newadvsplash::stop /WAIT

This is a Howto I put together for all the people who own a U3 drive and want to switch to the new Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition (2.0.0.11). The recommended Menu is the PortableApps.com Platform but I will also explain how to make it show up in your U3 Menu using Smithtechs ShortcutCreator for U3 if you don't want to switch.

Hello everyone !

I have a problem to create my own Firefox with thinstall : If I don't put any plugins it works without any problems.

However, if I put a plugin such as adblock plus, I have an error message in thinstall and it doesn't work :

I have some programs I use on a regular basis so I want a launcher to launch them with one click.
I already did that with NSIS but I don't always want to run all the programs. So I thought maybe there is a way to have NSIS display a list with checkboxes and the Appname next to it and it runs all the Apps you click the checkbox.
Or something like that.
I couldnt figure it out myself cause my NSIS skills aren't that good
Does anyone has any hints???

for using NSIS and the portableappstemplate to create a portable app? I've never used the program before, so some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

I need to have Quickbooks Pro 2007 made portable. I have a licensed, registered copy. Name your price.

Hi, people.

Today I made my first Portable Application. It's a System Utility with many task and tools...

But, are many EXE files (25 actually). And I want to merge these into one.

The original application has a file called Integrator, that invokes other files by an own menu.

My idea is join these 24 files into Integrator, with internal links that I don't know how works.

It's possible?

Thanks

Is there interest in a PortableApps wrapper for Perl (specifically ActivePerl)? Granted ActivePerl is fairly portable on its own, however with a PA wrapper putting things in a standardized place other portable apps could then use a shared Perl install.

The downside to this is ActivePerl is not fully Open Source, so it would need to be packaged without it and require users to download and install it in the correct location (PerlPortable\App\Perl). Is it worth the trouble?

Just wondering if anyone had made something similar to it. Not so much with the word "Atlantis" but I do like how on the show, they have a neat design for their HUDs and screens.
