Portable App Development

I wanted to make a post to compile some resources for creating Python apps in PortableApps.com Format for interested developers. Currently, we have two apps released in our app store using the PortableApps.com Launcher that are Python-based: gPodder Portable and Solfege Portable.

There are some apps, that don't use AppData folder to store their data, but rather CommonAppData folder (usually C:\ProgramData). Is there any way to make such app portable and "redirect" this folder using [DirectoriesMove]?

I'm accessing a remote desktop Windows server. I have installed Firefox Portable. When I login to the site I reach two-factor authentication. I've authenticated it manually and ticked the box 'Don't ask for codes on this device'.

Each time I relaunch Firefox it works without having to reauthenticate, but each time I close the remote connection and reconnect, the Firefox cache appears to have cleared and I have to go through 2 factor authentication again.

Sorry if I post in wrong forum page.

I need help for [FileWriteN]. I'm working on a app based on old version of XAMPP and I need to edit about 45 files to make it portable. At this time I found that I must have 4 [FileWriteN] for every file, which will about 180 total entries (the last will be [FileWrite180]). So is there any elegant way to do this? Also i'm not sure is that the proper way, but I found that this work at this time. This is an example for one of the files:

Currently, the PAL documentation is built using reStructuredText, and built using Sphinx.

Installing this on Windows requires jumping through a few hoops, although I am aware it is possible to install Sphinx on the Windows Subsystem for Linux if necessary.

Hi I Am using Adobe illustrator cs6 portable by portableapps.com so by mistake i have deleted my app file in which i have lost my appinfo.ini file so i am not able to run Adobe illustrator so how can i make a file by my self or from where can i download that file or can any one help me ????

This is my first project, and I'm in trouble...

I'm trying to portabilize this app (not found in internet).
I've written this codeline:

In AppInfo.ini:

[Format]
Type=PortableAppsFormat
Version=0.0

[Details]
Name=Moo0 VideoConverter Portable
AppId=Moo0VideoConverterPortable

[Version]
PackageVersion=0.0
DisplayVersion=0.0

[Control]
Icons=1
Start=VideoConverter.exe

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=Moo0VideoConverter\VideoConverter.exe

In Launcher.ini

With the release of jdkPortable, support for the same has not yet been added to PAL. It is, however, on my todo list.

NB - Marked as a bug for tracking purposes.

I've got some ideas on extending PortableApps.comLauncher. I was just wondering how I go about getting my ideas out.

One of my ideas is something like:

In the PortableApps.comLauncher.nsi file:

It's been days since my 3 portableapps platforms, all hosted in my system drive, fails to update.

Every time I go on with the update wizard it proceed downloading the apps, then it skip directly to the end of the operations very fast. And every time it doesn't do nothing, so that I'm stucked.

I tried with a fresh installation of the platform but when I try to download and install an app it just do the same and nothing happen.

The problem seems related to the updater tool, cause if I download the apps directly from the website they install correctly.
