This client i believe is now the unofficial client, and will not work with the servers.

the new client is called ManaPlus. it can be portabalized and take the place of this old client, possibly, but i dont even think this on works anymore.

Feature Request: Automatically Restart Apps After Computer Crash & Reboot

Submitted by DaddySmash on November 25, 2014 - 10:58am

I've noticed that there is a glaring problem with 'automatically' starting a portable app. Whenever I shutdown my computer, or the power goes out, and I restart it (I could set it to automatically boot in BIOS), my portable apps throw an error that I did not close them properly, then instruct me to restart them manually. For me, the only portable app that I automatically start is WinSplit Revolution, and it restarts fine, because it is not built to portable apps standards.

PortableApps.com Backup

Hello everybody,

I want to suggest a new option on Backup Utility. An option to exclude folders before compression. Because, sometimes I keep full movies on my flash drive and it would take minutes to compress video files that I don't even want to make a backup of.

Thanks!

How to download and unzip?

Submitted by 5keeve on November 4, 2014 - 3:19am

As I'm not allowed to include the binary in my DbVisualizer Launcher, I thought about downloading the binary when the installer is started.

At the moment I have the code shown at the bottom.

Now just before the "Delete $2" I need to unzip the downloaded zip file to %PAL:AppDir%

As I did not understand NSIS yet, can anyone please give me a hint how to achieve this?

DbVisualizer

Submitted by 5keeve on November 3, 2014 - 8:53am

Hi!

I really like DbVisualizer and it's almost portable.

So I've created a Launcher using PortableApps' launcher and asked the dbvis guys whether I may post the launcher here.

I got permission to do so provided I do not include the actual code.

So I can only provide a launcher where one would have to unpack the official download to.

1) Do we already have examples for this?
2) Do you support this kind of launchers at all?
3) Maybe the installer could download the package?
4) How would I post my launcher for others to test?
