Adding second copy of an app to suite

Submitted by st3ve on December 10, 2006 - 7:32am

I have tried to 'add' an extra copy of ffportable to the Portable Application Suite.

That seemed to work OK, but I need to distinguish between the 2 copies.
I have added my main FF with all the extensions installed and want to add a 'Lite' copy which is essentially the Portable FF as issued.

I have renamed the folder as FirefoxPortableLite, but both copies show up on the launcher as Firefox. I can launch either from there but what I want to do is to rename one copy as say Firefox Portable Lite. Is this possible, and if so how/where do I have to make the changes to achieve this?

Any ideas?

Multilingual PortableApps Menu

Submitted by Dirinfo on December 9, 2006 - 1:38pm

I began translating PortableAppsMenu in french the uggly way : Find a Resource Editor (ResHacker) and brute force changed the item captions...
Then I saw this thred in the forum, so here I am!

Where can I find the Delphi source or resources?

How can it be incorporated in the Laucher in a more elegant way?

Thank you for helping.

Telnet/SSH

Submitted by koko on December 8, 2006 - 2:42am

Hi,

I saw you are looking for a Telnet/SSH-tool... Since I have hosting, I use WinSCP in combination with puTTY. This way, you can handle files with a GUI and you also have the possibility to use a CUI.

WinSCP is downloadable as installer, standalone and source code. So maybe this can help.

Redistributing the Java Runtime

Two questions:

  1. Can I distribute the Java Runtime with RSSOwl Portable? I know it can be distributed but I don't know about OS projects.
  2. Is the Java Runtime portable?

Sorry if these questions seem stupid but I suck with licensing (as John knows ;)) and it's late at night.
